They say that Internet marketing is the only job you can work all day so you can make money while you sleep.  If you are working all day, or at least have looked for a job before, then you probably familiar with LinkedIN.  The business network was founded on the premise of a business to business platform for people to post profiles and share events. The sticky part of LinkedIN is that it also has a social network element as well, where you can list your connections (think "friends" in Facebook) and see other people's connections. In true "7 Degrees of Kevin Bacon" you can see how far away you are from someone in the business world.  This can be especially valuable when trying to get a job.

What we have learned about this niche marketing idea is that the Internet Time Machine has tracked over 120 keyphrases that show strong demand around the word "LinkedIN", yet don't have very many organic or PPC results.  When we see 5-10 phrases in one area of strong demand and low supply we get excited, so this just tells us how BIG LinkedIn is getting and how much more growth there is ahead for it.

We think the LinkedIn space could be the next explosion for Internet marketing courses on how to fully take advantage of the area. Building a list now, whether through SEO or PPC, for people interested in LinkedIN tips, ideas, and strategies is a good choice moving forward.  There are currently a few LinkedIn products out there, but as the volume grows, so will the quality of courses and the prices.  These courses could do well at high price points as the average linked in user is a working business professional who tends to have the discretionary income to buy products.  Check out this video on the ideas and phrases out there and what you  need to be doing to get ready for the traffic.
