24-List Building-Writing Articles List building articles is another tool that, used correctly, will help you to bring people over to the squeeze page you have made for getting names and email addresses.

The key is writing articles about your niche. The niche is distilled from the general subject. At the present, marketing something that is too generalized will put you in competition against many thousands of other marketers.

As an example, if you were to Google the keyword phrase singles dating right now, Google would give you approximately eight million returns. Granted, not all of these returns from the search engine will be about singles dating, or even trying to find a date. But what if even half a million of these returns had something to do with this general theme.

Dating is very popular right now. I am sure dating has always been floating around, or the world would not be as crowded as it is presently. If you were to market dating sites for singles, the competition would be very stiff. Yet studies have shown us that this market will only increase. The key is finding a niche within dating.

Baby Boomers are fast becoming a viable majority. After World War II, all of these service men came home from the war, married their sweethearts and started making babies, lots of them to made up for lost time.

Distill dating into age groups, then you have niche markets of a type for dating. Let’s choose Baby Boomers for an age group niche! So now you have a niche to tie into. Dating and Baby Boomers.

There must be a lot of divorced and widowed Baby Boomers that are single now. Some of them are hanging around the house, watching TV and wanting someone to watch old reruns of I Love Lucy with so they can laugh at Lucy with someone who remembers her, too. No one wants to be lonely.

As a note There are an awful lot of single Baby Boomers online now. More then a good half of these older singles have visited dating sites, looking for their niche.

List building articles is all about finding a niche out there you can capitalize on. Make a game out of it instead of doing crossword puzzles. Carry around a note pad with a pen handy. You never know when you suddenly might have ideas for list building articles to write about.

Distill foreign sport cars. The car is made up of parts. People who own foreign sport cars will need resources to get parts eventually. Tires are common, but if you break it down further, you end up with different parts around the tire. Hubcaps may be common, but how common are hubcaps for vintage Porsche’s

Again, the idea is to list build to find ideas of products or information that select groups are in need of, but have a hard to finding. Once you have something you think is hot, you can keyword it into the search engine to get a better feel for keywords to include in articles you will be writing.

The key to good list building articles is simple. Start with a general theme, then distill it down until something hits you, Eureka, I have it! Once you come up with about ten ideas to run with, then the fun starts. Deciding from your list what you will be marketing, then finding a source for that product.
