Acne OVERVIEW

Many people, young and old, are plagued with acne. This is an area of online research- the search for treatment options and products that actually work!

With excellent content addressing the various types of and treatments for acne, you can gain the confidence and trust of your audience.

“Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a long-term skin disease that occurs when hair follicles are clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. It is characterized by blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible scarring. It primarily affects areas of the skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back. The resulting appearance can lead to anxiety, reduced self-esteem and, in extreme cases, depression or thoughts of suicide.” (source: wikipedia)

Google suggestion keywords

This is a listing of the top keywords according to Google suggestion (or auto-fill) results. We use the outstanding tool Keyword.io to compile these results. These results are especially vital because they outline what Google suggests as you type. The reason they do this is to make typing a whole phrase less time-consuming. What they suggest is a “peek” into the habits of others, as it recommends the keyword phrases that are most searched for.

Keep in mind that this data is more raw than the results with Jaaxy, but it provides great insight and potential starting points for further keyword research.

This list is from YouTube, which has positioned itself as a search engine of sorts in this age of video content. It provides insight into the different-but sometimes similar- habits of users compared to a traditional Google search.

YouTube results not only uncover the content and media that your potential audience is searching for, it can give you some keyword ideas if you are planning to add a YouTube channel to your offerings. Depending on the niche idea, this can be a wonderful way to engage with your audience, and increase your marketing reach.

Remember that with a YouTube channel, you can gain subscribers and eventually monetize that traffic. It also allows you to extend the influence of your sites as a brand, and build trust.

Good Domain Name Ideas

An effective domain name can be many things. For unknown websites, it is a wise practice to pick a domain name that explains the foundation of your business, most likely using your main keywords. It is still the best idea to choose .COM names, although .NET and .INFO are gaining popularity.

These domain names are provided to give some simple ideas and inspiration. Please check to see if any of these are available.

Incorporating your main keyword into your domain is also highly suggested.

Things to consider

  • Research your content well- acne is a YMYL topic, which means “Your money, Your life”. What that means is any niche idea that falls into the categories of health and wealth is expected to be of the highest quality in terms of content and respectibility. Your reputation hangs on this!
  • The look and feel of your site should also inspire confidence and trust, so scan top medical and health sites (such as some of the sites listed in this guide) for ideas and design tips.
  • Design content for all age groups, as acne can be a problem that knows no age. You can even segment content by age group if you wish, as you may feel your content can speak to these groups individually if broken into categories.

 

Competition/ “Stars” of the niche

Part of niche research is finding and understanding your competition. You can glean ideas from them, as well as finding potential partners. There are many places to find the key influencers in each niche, such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, and many others. While this is not intended to be a complete list, it should give you a good starting point. Take a peek at how they do things- what products they promote, what types of content do they write, how do they engage with their audience. Use these ideas as inspiration, and put your own special twist into it!

Connecting on a more personal and engaging way will be a solid strategy for building trust with your potential readers. Joining relevant forums and posting helpful comments and suggestions, as well as creating and maintaining social media profiles should be thought of as an extension of your existing website, providing a compliment and additional resource for your brand.
