====================
1. Know instantly what words and niches are profitable
====================
Did you know that Microsoft has a free online tool that instantly predicts a
customer's intent to make a commercial decision (i.e. spend money) based on
the keyword they use to search?
How can you use this information?
A GOOD EXAMPLE: In the last full newsletter I told you about the "60 second"
website builder here:
www.silentsalesmachine.com/nichevideosites.html
...and I showed you several of the income producing sites I'd set up with
it. You just pick a keyword phrase and it builds a pretty video site for you
with income generating Google Adsense ads all over it.
ONE ISSUE THOUGH...
One question we've heard from a few people about though is, "How can I find
great niche keywords to target for my '60 second' websites?"
One great way to find KILLER keywords that are being used right now by
people in the "shopping" mood (or "ad clicking mood") is this free online
tool:
http://adlab.msn.com/Online-Commercial-Intention/oci.aspx
...based on millions of searches and tracking customer actions it can
predict the "commercial intention" of people using certain search phrases.
This is a FIRST and it's POWERFUL (and free like I said).
This is a great tool to help you find the best pay-per-click keywords or
even just good keywords to build your website around. It can also help you
pick a niche!
For example, according to the "commercial intention" tool an online surfer
that types the phrase "new dog house" into a search engine has only a 32%
"commercial intent". That's not very good. This means they are only 32%
likely to buy something and not likely to click on ads.
On the other hand if a customer types the phrase "dog house kit" into a
search engine they have a whopping 92% "commercial intent". The
searcher using this phrase makes for a far better visitor to your site.
They'll click ads and buy stuff!
Make sure you get those last two paragraphs. That is powerful information
that you can easily generate yourself with a few seconds of research.
Conclusions based on my quick research...
Which of those two keyword phrases is most likely to bring you maximum ad
clicks on your "niche video" site? My mini site is about "Dog House Kits",
not "New Dog Houses".
What business should you focus on if you sell dog houses? Don't sell "New
Dog Houses", but instead sell "Dog House Kits".
Keep in mind that you can create UNLIMITED video niche sites with:
www.silentsalesmachine.com/nichevideosites.html
...but it would be a good idea to do a bit of keyword research on each one
to see what kind of visitors you'll be attracting.

2. We all love a good success story!
=======================
Can we talk about coaching?
For some people coaching flat out works. It's not for everyone, but recently
I've been hearing some great feedback from students.
Here are two recent stories...
Meet Britt:
He's only 19 and he insists on calling me "Mr. Cockrum" when he emails me.
That sorta makes me feel old for some reason, but that's a different topic.
Britt is about one month into his personal coaching right now and sent me
this update:
"Thanks to Mr. Cockrum and his team of coaches I have created my first
website selling my very own e-book. I've only been in the coaching program
for one month, and I feel like I've learned so much about internet marketing
and Ebay..."
Arkansas
Britt told me he's made three sales in the first week at his site and he's
barely started any marketing efforts. Way to go Britt!
Here's what Britt had to say about his site (edited for length):
"My website is targeted at those that want to make backups of their valuable
Nintendo Wii games. I offer complete step-by-step instructions without all
the computer lingo nonsense that other similar guides have in them."
His site:
http://www.WiiBurnGuide.com
I'm encouraging him to do some simple, but effective video marketing on
YouTube.com as a great next step.
Next, meet Nancy (if you haven't yet):
I told you Nancy's inspirational story a couple weeks ago, but I was
surprised to see how few people got to see the short video I did about her
until I realized I had a typo in one of the links! That's why I'm telling
you about her again. The 9 minute video (it's really good) tells you the
story:

3. Quick Tips

***Quick Tips***
==============
Does your online business grow even when you are sick and not working? Check
out this note we got from MySilentTeam.com member Susan W. last week:
"I've basically been doing NOTHING online since mid-January due to terrible
morning sickness with our family's 5th child. I went from being online for a
minimum of 2-3 hours a day to only checking email (no surfing or business
building) only about 3 times a WEEK.
The funny thing is that my internet income continued... even when I barely
turned on my computer 3 times a week. I've followed your advice and have
several internet income streams.
Thank you SO much for all the great information you provide and thanks to
all the great experts MySilentTeam.com. They've been instrumental in my
being able to keep an internet business going... even when I was too sick to
do a thing."
