Finding Keyword Optimized Content Using Market Samurai

Today Ed demonstrates how to use Market Samurai and a variety of online tools to find content specific to your chosen micro-niche.

Quite often the first problem people come across once they've chosen their micro-niche is the fact that they know nothing about the niche. Ed outlines a new method to getting to know your micro-niche in record time. Using a variety of sources, Ed shows you how to research using specific techniques to collect and collate information that you can use when you get to the writing content stage.

The first of the two research techniques Ed demonstrates is using Market Samurai's Find Content Module. Inside the module you can quickly and efficiently search for content related to your micro-niche from a variety of sources like article directories, blog networks, picture and video sites, and news sites. The Find Content module allows you to look at the content from inside Market Samurai, which saves you time from going back and forth between applications.

Another handy feature of the Find Content Module is that it allows you to save the content that you find as either text files or html files, which is very useful if you would like to go back and review the information at a later date.

The second research tool that Ed demonstrates is Twitter, or more specifically the search function of Twitter. Putting your keyword phrase (theme and category keywords can be researched in this way) can yield a wide variety of information specific to your micro-niche. You can also save your searches in Twitter so that you can refer back to them.

A brilliant way of tracking and keeping up to date with discussion of your micro-niche in Twitter is by using Twitter Lists. Ed shows you how to create a Twitter list and set it up so that you will always be kept up to date. Over time you're effectively building up a micro-niche specific resource to you can refer back to. This is a very powerful feature of Twitter that is well taking some time to setup.
