Which Keyword Research Service? & Does It Really Matter?

Ok, as I said in an earlier post, I’m going to test a keyword research service.

Why? ‘coz I can’t find decent keywords to save my life. So hopefully this might help.

I have no problems setting up webpages and affiliate links and I’m pretty good at tracking my traffic and sales. But lord do I suck at finding a decent keyword or two.

So the keyword research service I’m going to try is the Instacash keyword service. It’s operated by the original bum marketer himself Travis Sago, and a friend of his, Matt Davis.

Now, going on Travis’ spectacular rise through the ranks of internet marketer, I’m expecting a lot from this service.

So far the only product I’ve had success with is Travis’ ‘Magic of Making Up’, I sell one of his books for (roughly) every 20 hops I get from my site. I don’t think this is too bad but all other niches I’ve tried so far have been pants for me.

Admittedly I haven’t tried that many but they still suck for me, two being panic attacks & dieting. Both suck for me. I did make sales but jeez it was hard work.

So, I may as well stick with another Travis product for this test.

Update coming soon.

Keyword Research – Just How Hard Can It Be?

If you are not an internet marketing “guru”, if you are not earning multiple thousands of dollars every day/week/month* then welcome to my world. I struggle with keyword research.

No, I struggle with finding lucrative keywords, or as the “gurus” keeping banging away at us, buyer keywords.

The fact is that the majority of us budding internet marketers are probably in the same boat. Some small success maybe? A sale here, a sale there.

Nothing to write home about though. Am I right?

So if the big dogs are right, and it’s all about buyer keywords then how the hell do we find buyer keywords?

I’m sure there will be a few marketers reading this and thinking “jeez, it’s not that hard”. Well let me tell you mr experienced marketer, it is hard, especially if we don’t know how or have never been shown.

So, we come to keyword research services. Will it benefit the beginner to use one and speed up your learning process. I don’t know but am about to find out.

I’m going to sign up for a very well respected keyword research service that isn’t cheap. But, they do a weeks trial for about 5 bucks. So if I can’t make a go of it quick, I’ll can the service before the $90 monthly charge kicks in.

So, I suppose all there is left to say is watch this space (or blog to be precise)
