On track I guess. Having joined the New Power Profits coaching programme, I attended a Blueprint day back in September. At that, 2 other attendees and I met up with the legendary Neil Stafford and Neil Travers of the Internet Marketing Review for an intensive day of training. That was really good – my inner skeptic was expecting just another rehash of old information – but that was not what we got. Of course much of the underlying information reflected the contents of the New Power Profits DVD set – but much what made the day so enjoyable was meeting the guys face to face and hearing their interpretation of the information and more importantly how to make it work.
Our homework was to go away and identify 3 potential Niche areas and submit our research to the Neils by the end of September. They would then double check our research and follow up with 1-2-1 telephone calls in October to agree which Niche to take forward.
For me niche research has always been my entry barrier to this business. I have lots of interests but somehow none of them seem to fit the bill. I am now the proud owner of several note books filled with various ideas created over the years, none of which seem to have got off the drawing board. However the focus of trying to hit a deadline really did work and in the end I got there and produced 3 niche topics, each of which met the required metrics of keyword search volumes, competing advertisers, Youtube traffic, Twitter traffic, Hubpage links and competing Clickbank products. Phew!
Well that put me ahead of all my previous efforts with my deadline met and  I’m looking forward to my telephone consultation a little later this month. As I say, on track!
