Nano Niches

Nano Niches
Everybody, ok nearly everybody, knows what a niche in internet marketing terms means. But do you also know what a Nano Niche is? Nano means “extremely small” or “extremely narrow”. In terms of internet marketing it means a very, very narrow niche, nearly without any competition, but still with an earning potential. A typical broad to nano hierarchy can look like this:
Dog>Small Dogs>Car Seat for Small Dog.

The competition for “Car Seat for Small Dog” is very low, but there is still an earnings potential as this nano niche has buying search traffic. In the end, somebody who looks for a car seat for his or her small dog does this because they are interested in buying one! Googles’ External Keyword Tool shows 480 searches per month for it.

Obviously you don’t want now to run out and buy a domain with the words Small Dog Car Seat in it and purchase also hosting for it. Even if you could reach place one in the Google search rankings for your keywords, the costs of maintaining such a web site would eat up, nearly, all the earnings you could make with such a web site.

BUT a nano niche is an ideal candidate for a Hubpages Hub or a Squidoo Lens. This way you can still earn money with it, but without having to pay anything in advance.
Having a lot of such nano niches on Squidoo Lens and Hubpages Hub, can add up nicely to a steady, recurring income with minimum effort apart of writing the content and some basic promotion. Nano niches are very easy to promote and rank as they are very specific and have normally a very low competition.

22. Low altitude photo shoot of Air Force One over New York City that frightened thousands of New Yorkers.
23. Sent his National Defense Advisor to Europe to assure them that the US will no longer treat Israel in a special manner and they might be on their own with the Muslims.
24. Praised Jimmy Carter's trip to Gaza where he sided with terrorist Hamas against Israel.
25. Nationalized General Motors and Chrysler while turning shareholder control over to the unions and freezing out retired investors who owned their bonds. Committed unlimited taxpayer billions in the process.
26. Passed a huge energy tax in the House that will make American industry even less competitive while costing homeowners thousands per year.
27. Announced nationalized health care "reform" that will strip seniors of their Medicare, cut pay of physicians, increase taxes yet another $1 trillion, and put everyone on rationed care with government bureaucrats deciding who gets care and who doesn't. (See cartoon.)

Bloomberg:
Daschle says, "Health care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them," while former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm says seniors have "a duty to die."If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that the President, Senators and Congressmen have their own special gold plated health care plan which is guaranteed the remainder of their lives and they are not subject to this new law if they pass it.

Please use the power of the Internet to get this message out. Talk it up at the grassroots level. We have an election coming up in one year and four months where we can reverse the dangerous direction of the Obama administration and its allies. In the interim, we can make their lives miserable. Lets do it!If you disagree, don't do anything.

Right wing Extremism ;Exercising Your Constitutional RIghts

Reposted by David Hornstein

From the Desk of:Mat Staver

The Obama administration and Nancy Pelosi think that if you're not a fellow Socialist, you must be a "right-wing extremist." They are now viciously attacking anyone who doesn't agree with their radical agenda! Please see below. --Matdavid,When your ship is sinking, blame someone!

That's what membersof the Obama/Reid/Pelosi power axis seem to think. Problem is,they're now blaming the majority of Americans who say we shouldabandon ObamaCare and start over.According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released thismorning, over half (53%) of Americans disapprove of the waythe president is handling the budget deficit and ObamaCare. That means the administration's demonizing and marginalizing of ObamaCare opponents is now aimed at the majority of Americans. And this political gaffe is blowing up in their faces!Yesterday, the White House sheepishly announced they have closedtheir "snitch site" at www.flag@whitehouse.gov.

Americans weretotally outraged at the suggestion to "turn in" friends ande-contacts for spreading "fishy" ObamaCare reports.Condescending government spokespeople have routinely told usthat THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST and that we should just trust themand let them go on rushing to change America. Why, they say,are you even bothering to read the ObamaCare bill? But you and I see ObamaCare for what it is! The abortion mandate IS there... the death panels ARE there... the trillion-dollar-plus additional deficit IS there... and the inevitable rationing IS definitely there!No matter how often government spokespeople smirk and say thesethings are not in the ObamaCare program, anyone who reads thebill has to see them! They are not "figments of the far right'simagination" as the Obama team insists.If you don't already have proof, you can download a special9-page analysis of HR 3200 (the "ObamaCare" healthcare reformbill) here:http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?

We are experiencing the kinds of name-callingand demonization that are the hallmark of any Socialist (oreven Fascist!) government that wants to force its will on anation's people. There is now a coordinated attempt to delegitimize public dissent - and it strikes at the very heart of our constitutional guarantee of free speech!

But as Americans, we have a God-given right to free assembly,free speech and public dissent!++There's far too much on the line to remain silentThis outrageous attempt to bully Americans into silence issymptomatic of the animosity our Nation's leadership holdstoward people of faith and patriots who love this country. And if ultra-left officials think they can intimidate us by calling us "rabid right-wing extremists," we should wear that name as a badge of honor!david, I want you to join me in throwing these outrageousattacks back in the face of our Nation's ultra-left leadershipby taking a simple step... I want you to join me as an official Liberty Counsel card-carrying "Right-wing Extremist" and to tell the White House we won't cave in to their pressure!Go here to request your complimentary card:http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?u=21032&RID=20103577

We created the first Official Liberty Counsel Right-WingExtremist Card when the Department of Homeland Security(DHS) issued an "Intelligence Assessment" that branded pro-life,pro-Second Amendment, or pro-veteran Americans as potentialterrorist threats.Public outrage at that bullying forced Secretary JanetNapolitano to remove the offensive report from the DHSweb site, just like the White House recently had toclose the "snitch site." Now it's time for a new "Right-Wing Extremist" card and for us to tell the White House we won't stand for their name-calling and overt intimidation!I want you to join thousands of your fellow citizens whoalready have this newly designed wallet-sized card (personalizedwith your name) at no charge for two reasons..

.FIRST, our new "Right-wing Extremist" card is a symbol of yourpersonal rejection of the administration's attacks againstpeople that don't want America to become a Socialist State.You can join me in turning the tables on them by wearing theterm "Right-wing Extremist" as a badge of honor! If beingpro-freedom and anti-Socialism makes us "extremist," then so be it!SECOND, I want you to have the phone number to our Liberty Counseloffice with you at all times... Just in case you are confrontedby a White House operative or other government thug who is hostileto true American values.

I want you to have the card so our legal team can be notified and we can stop this outrageous profiling and intimidation wherever and whenever it takes place.Go here to see a sample of what your card looks like...http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?u=21032&RID=20103577+ + The card is my gift to youOnce again, there is no cost for this new edition of our popular"Right-Wing Extremist" card. And if you already have one, pleaseforward this message to friends, church members or other associatesso we can send them their own personalized card.I am so outraged by the attacks that are coming from thisadministration against patriots and people of faith who simplydon't want America to become a Socialist State that I feelwe must get these cards into the hands of all our team members.

Of course, there are expenses associated with this national campaign,so any financial support you provide will be greatly appreciatedand will be put to immediate use in advancing and protecting ourprecious liberties.So please...Take a moment right now to take a stand with me against theseattacks and request your new edition of our Official LibertyCounsel "Right-wing Extremist" Card.

Top Ten Twitter APPS

Repost by David Hornstein(duffer47)



Top 10 Twitter Apps
Written by Andrew Pipes / July 11, 2007 1:41 AM / 26 Comments
« Prior Post Next Post »
Twitter has been a runaway success since the status message inspired web app launched about a year ago. Its rapid adoption, ease of use and extensibility resulted in a lot of excited developers taking Twitter's best bits and mixing them up to their own ends. FranticIndustries and the Twitter Fan Wiki together present a comprehensive list of Twitter mash-ups and extensions. But what to try first? Here's our selection of the most interesting and practical Twitters apps.

1. Twitter Atlas
Fresh Logic Studios has built an addictive Flash mapping interface, aggregating worldwide "Tweets" (Twitter messages). The screen refreshes every six seconds or so with a different Twitterer's status report; and profile details are displayed on top of their location on a map. A toolbox allows you to toggle between views - and the Microsoft Virtual Earth graphics are stunning. Each of the Twitterers has their own lollipop on the map to note where they are, plus there's (limited) language support. But the Atlas isn't just a visualisation device for status junkies. There's also a practical side: users can get directions, search for local shops and services, find out what events are coming up in places around the world, and even see where the most expensive petrol stations are around.
What's it missing? The ability to get only your Twitter group's tweets shown on the map.

2. Squawk
Those enjoying a Second Life have a few options for social network integration. One of the most impressive is Squawk, which links up your gaming application with services including Twitter and Jaiku. There's an introductory how-to video for installing the service (note: you'll have to find it as an object in the SL 'metaverse' and then configure it). There's also a good social network devoted to tracking Squawk's progress, letting those not in Second Life peep in on the locations of top squawkers.

3. Twitticious
This little app from Alex Girard is about as stripped-down as you get - it doesn't even have a GUI. But it's a time-saver for those who'd like to link up their Del.icio.us bookmarks and their Twitter posts for later tagging and grouping. All the app does is take your tweets and route them to your Delicious account. With lots of Twitter networks set up specifically for this kind of link-sharing activity, this could be a golden life-hack. A word of warning though: there's no turning off the service. Full marks go to Alex for making some amendments to the service, to allow your followers' comments to also be added as links to your delicious account - as well as the Public Timeline's, should you want that many links in your Delicious account!

4. Remember the Milk + Twitter
Alert and to-do service Remember the Milk has just combined its range of services with that of Twitter, meaning that if you include 'rtm' as a friend in your Twitter network, your new task-oriented friend informs all of the web services that you've got synced up to Remember The Milk - and that can include iGoogle, Google Calendar and others. The smart bit is a series of commands that you can send to RTM via Twitter, using a few easy short codes. For instance, to get a list of these commands just type in 'd rtm !tips' and you'll get back a full command list. Once you get the hang of the commands, you'll see how much time this can save, instead of flipping between devices or websites to update your lists.

5. Social Comic Book
It's never going to win any prettiness awards, but the creative juices were flowing the day that Tim Wintle decided to mash up Flickr tags with Tweets. The idea is simple: enter your Twitter name, and the app creates a comic book of six panels - with your Tweets serving as the description in the panel and Flickr photos being pulled in that relate to your Tweets. Kind of like a visual Mad-Libs. Great idea - just a bit of a shame that some Tweets can't find relevant Flickr photos to attach to them. Dust up the old design and it could be quite viral.
Another comic strip attempt is Tweetweet. Not quite as inventive as Social Comic Book, but still worth a look if you've got ten minutes to kill between meetings.

6. Twapper
Twapper hooks into your 30Boxes online calendar account and allows you to post tweets directly into your calendar from your mobile phone or online. It also allows you to see the Twitter activity of your network from within the 30Boxes environment. Another great feature is the ability to 'roll your own groups' of Twitterers. Whilst it helps to have a 30Boxes account to get the most from the integration, there are some features available to anyone.

7. Twit Bin
Why go to Twitter when Twitter can come to you? Twitbin's a Firefox extension that nestles all your friends' tweets into a sidebar. It's configurable too, and the tiny ad at the bottom of the sidebar is something I can live with. BTW, it works just as well in Flock.

8. TwittyTunes
If you want to share what you're listening to with the ease of Twitter, this is the browser plugin for you. It's a sibling of the popular FoxyTunes extension, and supports dozens of players. So if you're signed in to your Last.fm player, Twitty Tunes will let your Twitter friends know what you're listening to. There's even a social network devoted to the most recent TwittyTunes shout-outs, called Foxy Tunes Twitter DJ.

9. Twitterment
This one appeals to the statisticians and the buzz crawlers. This charts the 'zeitgeist' of what's being Tweeted about across the globe. You can even see comparisons of one key phrase versus another, and what day of the week key terms pop up most frequently. For instance, here's one that compares beer and sex. Not surprisingly, beer starts getting popular around Friday.

10. Flotzam
Flotzam started life as Flitterbook, a showcase mash-up of Flickr, Facebook and Twitter data - developed by Karsten Januszewski and Tim Aidlin for MIX07. It's available only to PC users as a downloadable .exe or as a screensaver, but it's well worth having a nose around. For Mac OS X users, check out some of the dashboard widgets collected in the Twitter Fan Wiki

How To Make Money Online With Affiliate Marketing Promotion

How does one make money online through promotion of affiliate marketing products? It can be a difficult process to learn the necessary skills. There are some ways to make money online fast, and there are ways to profit online as an internet marketing business in a more gradual manner. Making money online fast isn’t necessarily any better, it just depends on your goals. The get rich quick projects are not as quick as most people would like. However with the right training and effort they can be. So if you want to learn how to make money online, there are a few ways to do so.

One such way to make money online as an affiliate is direct affiliate commission. This kind of income will be earned income, as opposed to setting up systems that will eventually work for you so you don’t have to. If you want to make money online, you can find a good affiliate program that pays well has a good commission, and is currently paying members. You can check clickbank.com or a similar site such as cj.com or linkshare.com.

If you take some extra time you can develop your own product. Interview someone who’s an expert in something, whether it’s gardening or running, or fishing, you should be able to find someone that you can interview to create your own product. This can be time consuming, however, the advantage is, if you take the time to learn how to create the pages that will do the selling for you, you can get affiliates who will promote the product for you.

Regardless of what you choose, you need a way to do promotion. Forums related to your topic are most likely the best bet for someone with limited knowledge and experience and money. This means you are visiting forums about your topic, you are signing up, you are verifying your email address, you are changing your signature to include your affiliate link (where rules allow) if rules do not allow affiliate links, you are creating a blog (free at a site like wordpress.com or blogger.com), and putting your blog link up there instead, and your blog link will do the selling and contain the affiliate link.

The more forums you do this at the better. Now you actually have to interact with in the forum. every post you make will be another link back to your site. So you should make lots of small little posts if allowed, and perhaps post a few high quality ones that you hope will be viewed often. You should also consider doing Google searches for popular searched term plus the word forum or message board, and see what comes up.

You should not expect many sales, but if you get 500 views you might get 100 people to click through to your link, and maybe 2 will buy. If you can continue to build sites that continue to grow in traffic, you will continue to make money online. If you continue to do more work, you can automate some of the processes, and then you will make a lot more money online, and you will be able to get rich eventually as eventually you will make enough money to quit your job. When this happens, you can retire and make a lot more money online with your free time and extra cash.
