Civil War Battle Map in Public Domain …..Case Study
I decided to create a case study using public domain images and take you through the process of researching a niche looking for small niches and finding keywords called long tailed keywords. Once we find the niche, then we will research and work on the product to be developed.
You probably already know that I have an interest in Public Domain Maps so lets look for something that has some monthly search volume with little competition from other websites. In this process I’m going to use only 2 tools to start with, Micro Nich Finder and an ebook and public domain images resource guide called The Easy Money Project by Tony Laidig.
I found a site that has some public domain maps, in particular, civil war maps and to dig a little deeper I looked for a Civil War Battle Map!
I basically outline the process and show you the tools to use. However, I can’t stress how thorough The Easy Money Project ebook is….I think its around 200 pages. Tony describes the process of taking a digital image and turning it into a poster. He goes so far as to give you details on paper weight, printing costs, how to interact with the printer along with many other details.
So let’s get started.
Check monthly searches on civil war map ….the below table gives you the results
I guess you’d agree that it’s a decent size
niche with many long tailed keywords. The key to selling online
with success is picking a suitable niche market and promoting the right
product and/or service to that market. Take a look at the difference between
“civil war map” with 1732 searches a month and “map of civil war” with
260 searches a month.
I use a tool called Micro Niche Finder
to discover long tailed keywords with little competition. Similar tools
will result in different results. I don’t think there is a way to get an
exact amount since each search engine is different, nevertheless, the
concept of digging up fruitful niches utilizing a keyword tool like Micro
Niche Finder is exact.
For instance Micro Niche Finder
reveals to me that ‘civil war map’ is looked for on 33,720 searches every 30 days and
there are at least 50,000 websites containing the exact keyword phrase. Remember
that the number 33,720 contains any phrase which includes the words
“civil” “war” and “map” in any order. Trying to compete with 50,000 websites is
quite a chore…not undoable, but you would genuinely have to understand what
you need to do to find yourself on the front page of google.
A better strategy is to search for a long tailed keyword with a search number of around 200 to 5000 a month for
that phrase and is only found on a low amount of websites….which in a way is relative to the monthly search count. Lower than 10,000 is good, 500 to 2000 is even better and you can find yourself on page one with little effort.
For Example, I used Micro Niche Finder to turn up this term “civil war battle maps”
There are 2700 searches a month for that phrase and about 2910 webpages that
are indexed for that term. This means that if I can show up on page one of Google I will get about 3,000 visitors on my salespage each month. If I can convert 2% of those visits that would be 60 sales every 30 days!
Think, there are about 3,000 webpages indexed by the search engines with the long-tailed-keyword “civil war battle maps“.
All you have to do is use some simple seo practices, write some articles, create a
mini-net with free blogs and exercise some social web 2.0 techniques you will be able to get
webpage on the first couple of pages of Google.
Now lets assume, you’ve done the seo,
penned articles, do some social bookmarketing, submit to directories and create a network of blogs with some articles…..it’s going to involve some time to get placed for the the phrase you are aiming for. It’s time to start putting your product together.
Let’s find a Civil War Battle Map and if you click on that link….you’ll find some civil war maps!
Assuming you’ve decided on a special Map of the Civil War,
let’s create a poster of it. Now you need to
download the civil war map that is most appropiate to your keywords, however, you have to know which
format to use and you need some special applications in order to view the map and
set about working with it. This software won’t cost you anything….but that’s all I’m
going to tell you right now. Tony Laidig, writes in his ebook, “The Easy Money Picture Project”
giving specific particulars when it comes to working with public domain images, and by taking the information I have revealed to you above along with
Micro Niche Finder Pro and Tony’s Public Domain Image book you’ll be able to create a top of the line product and begin depositing some public domain money!

google and told you the perfect tools to use in the complete procedure. Stop messing around! Click those links, get your chard card out and get started.
