Niche Q is the latest addition to the long list of Wealthy Affiliate University features.

It is possibly the most elaborate niche research system available online. And it's completely free for all Wealthy Affiliate members.

Every month, on your sign-up day, you can unlock one niche. At the time of writing there are 5 niches to choose from (insurance, dating, online gaming, stocks/online trading and web hosting). New niches will constantly be added, so don't worry  if the current niches don't appeal to you very much.

I know it may seem annoying that you can only unlock one niche a month, but there's a good reason for this.

Setting up a campaign properly takes time. If Kyle & Carson gave access to all the niches at once, a lot of people would quickly whip something together and move on to the next niche. Sure, you can make some money this doing that, but you can make a lot more if you take the time to set up a campaign for one niche the right way.

The niches Kyle & Carson reveal are all very profitable, so all you have to concentrate on is getting a decent campaign up and running. And with all the information Niche Q provides, this will save you a lot of time.

First of all, there's the NicheQ Report.

This report will outline the industry of your choice and give you all the information you need to determine the different marketing angles. It will give you the  "Who", "What" and "Why" of your niche.

Without this information, you will never be able to squeeze a niche for every last cent.

• Introduction: A general overview of the niche. Particularly important if you have no prior knowledge of the industry.
• Statistics: Several statistics breaking down the niche in smaller subniches, demographics and trends.
• Target Audiences: It's impossible to connect with your readers/buyers if you don't know who they are. Here you can choose which audience you would like to target. Trust me, almost every niche has several different audiences and the more targeted your campaigns are for a single audience, the more money you'll make.
• Cross Promotion: In most cases, people interested in one niche will also be interested in related products.
• Tools & Resources: This section offers links to more in-depth information, forums and tools and scripts/plug-ins you can offer on your own website.
• Affiliate Programs: Here you will find a list of recommended affiliate programs. This includes a short description and payout.

This report will save you a huge amount of time, breaking down all the info you need to set up a campaign in easily accessible sections (Researching decent affiliate programs alone can take hours of your time).

Next are the NicheQ PLR Articles.

The articles I've read so far are all very well written with good content.

Of course they are PLR, so either rewrite them or make sure you only use them on sites that allow duplicate content. You can always use them on your own website or blog without problems.

I would also advise you to take the time to add the keywords of your choice in each article before posting it online.

These articles will really help jump start your campaign.

The SEO Keyword Concepts are created with article marketers in mind.

The keyword phrases are researched specifically for your niche. It's easy to get listed under these low competition keywords, so you can start writing immediately.

To give you an example; the insurance SEO Keyword concept consists of no less than 300 insurance concepts. Should keep you busy for a while.

This pack contains 7 pre-written emails to upload to your autoresponder.

Each email is packed with content and can be used to set up a follow-up sequence or sent out as broadcast emails.

These emails are specifically created for the niche of your choice to let your list know what you're offering. They are offered in both text and word format.

If you've never built a list before, start now. The money really is in the list!

If you're going to build a list (which I strongly advice), you'll need something to get people to hand over their email-address.

Giving away these NicheQ PLR guides are a great bonus to convince people to sign up to your list. It's a sure way to increase both your opt-in rates and sales.

An example of how these guides will increase your conversion; with the insurance niche you get 3 PLR guides. You can offer one as a bonus to opt-in on your list, later on you can offer the others to convince a list member to do something you want (sign-up with a merchant for pay-per-lead, buy a product,...)

The PLR guides are available in text, word and pdf format.

The NicheQ Keyword List will benefit both article and PPC marketers.

You can use these to build small, targeted adgroups for your PPC campaigns.Or, in combination with the NicheQ Report, you can use them as a guide to connect with a particular audience in your niche.

The NicheQ Keyword List is available in text and word format.

Let's not forget the NicheQ Website Templates.

Although Site Rubix (the free WA website builder) makes building websites a breeze, you might prefer a different template to the ones available in Site Rubix.

You'll be able to download 5 different website templates. Just choose the one most fitting for your target audience and upload it to your webhost (remember, WA offers free hosting as well).

The templates are professionally created for each niche and can be used as you like; review sales page, PPC landing page,...

You will need an HTML editor to adjust these templates. If you don't have one, you can click here for a free editor.

And last but not least, each NicheQ has its very own private NicheQ forum.

This is on top of the regular Wealthy Affiliate Forum.

It's another great way to stay focused on your niche and swap ideas with other members on how to best set up your campaign.

Hopefully you found this little inside view of NicheQ useful.

You can probably now see how much extra value NicheQ adds to Wealthy Affiliate University and if you choose to join WA, to your online career.

Time is money. This becomes very clear in online marketing. Every hour you spend researching, is an hour you're not making money. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to make good money without first performing the necessary research. One of the main reasons so many online marketers fail.

It took me almost a year before that realization hit me hard enough to actually make the effort to spend a lot of time on research first. I truly hope you're not going through the same thing. But if you are, NicheQ can now help you save you the research time so you can set up more profitable campaigns a lot faster.

I couldn't have said it better than Kyle & Carson: "it is not about the niche, it is about how well you understand the niche". Understanding your niche is the difference between $200/month and $2000/month.
