Market Research has NOTHING to do with Keyword Research!

Jim Morris wrote an excellent article titled “Market Research (or finding a profitable niche market) has NOTHING to do with Keyword Research!”

Here’s a snippet from the article:

“No — don’t look at any search count. In fact, don’t even look to any single keyword database, tool or source to look for a profitable market. Keyword research is what you do AFTER you have confirmed that you have found a thriving marketplace through a few certain criteria that tells you sales are strong, the commerce being moved shows some stability and, yes, there may be a little stiff competition which is actually a good indication. Why get involved in a potentially shaky marketplace where not much action is happening, right?”

Jim even gives a tip for finding great niches that I’ve never read ANYWHERE else. I recommend reading the article as soon as possible.
