First the object of a money making website is to provide valuable information to the visitor. This is the basis of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It begins with proper keyword selection;use Google Adwords Keyword Planner (free). If you choose the wrong keywords for your website you will never get anywhere with it. You need targeted keywords where you have lots of people clamoring for your keywords. You need to check competition of the top 10 keywords;use Market Samurai. If you choose the proper keywords(s), there us a high probability that the people searching for those keywords may be interested in taking some kind of action like buying your product, service, etc., via your affiliate link or if you have a landing page / squeeze page getting their email address. That's how you build a list. You need an autoreponder like aweber for this. Remember,the money is in the list. You commuincate with your list and offer them more information and products that might help them solve their problem. Keywords are found for free with the Google Adwords Keyword Planner.The next thing you want to do is use Market Samurai to explore the ramifications of the keywords you have chosen. You check your competition with Market Samurai. There are lots of videos that show you how to use it. Now you are ready to buy a domain and some hosting. Then you write some content and post it to your webiste. You keep doing this and soon Google will recognize your website and send you traffic. Traffic will accept your offer. This is a conversion/sale. 1000/monthis = 33.33a day. Call it 34 so every day you mustn't 34. There are many clickbank.com products that can do that. Look for lhigh gravity click bank products that pay 50% and up. Now for traffic. You can buy it via Google Adowrds or you can go the SEO route which is slow. You will need at least 1000 visitors per day and assuming a conversion rate of .001% you should make one sale a day and that is how you get to $1000 a month.Etc.

I know exactly how you are feeling. I got stuck and hung up on finding my Niche for days. Here is an article I really enjoyed on keyword research.

Have a great day! :)

I learned something neat recently from Kyle that might help. It's called "Alphabet Soup..." YEP that's right. Here's how it works.

Go to google.ca or google.com
Type a couple words related to your niche

Here's the cool part:

just type the letter "a" see a suggestion list appear offering 4 key phrases. Not what you want, then
type the letter "b" still not what you want, then
type the letter "c". You get the gist.

Keep working your way through the alphabet until an ideal phrase is offered. It's quick, instant, and reliable.

I hope this helps to quell all those keywords that never rest. Good luck.

Hey , Personally I first get the Words (content ) then build and beef up with key words so the posts keep evolving and growing as now and more power ful keywords and headings are added

Hi Fawn,

I can understand your frustration when it comes to researching keyword and have shared that feeling in the past.

Try not to overanalize the data though as it is your content that will essentially bring in the traffic and additional keyword rankings.

Here is a great basic training course that may help:
