| We quit our day jobs -- the NicheFinder interview
Sixty dollars is what it cost Val and Helen to start the
business that now supports them full time.
"My wife Helen and I are professional software developers" said
Val Danilchuk, from their home in the Ukraine. "We used to
develop web sites for e-business owners, as well as some
client-side desktop software."
But they wanted a better way to sell their skills. So, with a
special interest in Internet marketing, they developed their own
unique method of evaluating the profitability of business ideas.
"Then we completely automated it", Val told eProfitNews. "As
professional programmers, it wasn't hard for us to develop a
program that did it hands-free."
The result?
NicheFinder.
It's a market research software tool that helps people find
business ideas and products that are in high demand but low
supply. A clever niche finder!
It also identifies the most popular keywords for a web page. And
even helps you figure out the best domain name for your web
business.
That $60 paid for the domain name NicheMarketResearch.com as
well as web hosting. But there was also "a massive amount of
time invested. We devoted hundreds of our working hours to this
project."
At the very beginning, they weren't sure they could profit from
the idea so they decided not to invest much money into it at the
start.
"Our costs were small, but our investment was large at the same
time," says Val, referring to their 8 months of self-education,
research and development.
Now, just 4 months after launching the business in July 2002,
Val and Helen are pleased.
"We have quit our day jobs, and are currently living off our
NicheFinder sales. And of course, we also reinvest money into
the business."
Their marketing mix includes a 2-tier associate program (paying
50% and 10%), joint ventures with other marketers, a newsletter,
and their free ebook "Beginner's Guide to Niche Marketing".
"And most recently we have started an active link exchange
program."
"We should have started doing links exchange earlier. I think it
is the easiest and the fastest of all low-cost ways to bring in
traffic, find business partners, and improve your search engine
ranking."
A unique business idea plus "a massive amount" of hard work is
paying off. Now their software is helping others find
high-demand low-supply business concepts.
