Not.

I just received an email from Jim Morris, Founder of NicheBOT.com. NicheBot provides keyword research tools. He writes:

I receive questions all the time that ask me how to find a profitable niche market or how to conduct market research and which tool to use.

And you know what?

Most webmasters and online business owners go about it all wrong.

My answers may be shocking to hear, but it’s the truth.

In this most recent article, I reveal how keyword research falls flat on its face when it comes to market research.

I also discuss why more and more keyword professionals are now turning to one keyword engine to find out about true keyword popularity.

Then, I discuss the true indicators of how to conduct real, nitty-gritty market research.

I read the article and, yes, I am shocked that this advice comes from someone who makes his living selling keyword research tools!

Read his blog post, Market Research (or finding a profitable niche market) has NOTHING to do with Keyword Research!

  "There is one word to describe the work that Lana has done and continues to do for me — SUPERB!" ~Joe Bowers, Distil International
  
  "Lana receives 4-P’s in my book: Prompt, Polite, Proficient, Prolific. I talked to her one time to determine the scope of the job and she delivered. Took the work right out of my hands, then did it. And had the intuitive sense of when to ask me the next question just at the right time. The project was completed before I knew it. Lana then followed up with a detailed synopsis of the work and how I could modify or change what she had done in the future. Not a chance of that though, I’m CALLING Lana!" ~Joseph T. Dager, Business901, Authorized Duct Tape Marketing Coach
  
  "I love working with Lana. She's one of those people you can just give an assignment to — writing, editing, designing — and then forget about it, because you know it's going to get done well and it’s going to get done on time. She really knows what she's doing — and she's also a very nice person." ~Marguerite Del Giudice
  
  "Lana's work is both creative and logical. She not only takes the time to figure out exactly what is needed, but is flexible and professional as changes are identified. I find her response time to be prompt and her input to be clear and up-front. I recommend her highly." ~Mary Sise, LCSW
  
  "Lana has always impressed me with her ability to grasp new concepts and master them quickly. With her logical mind and drive to conquer new material, she often becomes the 'expert' within a very short time of approaching a new topic." ~Adrienne Heinzelman
