How to Do Keyword Research For a ProductBased Squidoo Lens
 
Step 1. Find a Product
In theSquidoo Christmas Cash BlueprintI suggested you use Amazonas your product provider. That’s all fine and good but dang, Amazon isa BIG place! How do you find products that are just what we’re lookingfor in this situation?
Here’s some suggestions:1.
Don’t complicate things, and stop thinking about it sohard. Just go to Amazon and pick a category from one of the options under “
shop all departments
“.
2. Pick a subcategory
once you pick something. Don’tthink about it, just click. The more you overanalyze thisthe longer it will take, and the more you will psychyourself out. There are great products in any/everycategory.Here’s an example I went to clothing/shoes/jewelry. I picked jewelry when given the options. Once I picked jewelry I’m given TONS of options as well. However,what I like to do is scroll down and choose to
shop byprice.
  Now depending on howcomfortable you feel you canchoose products priced as highas over $10k in the jewelrydepartment.You’ll find the shop by price option in every department, youmay have to get one more level specific in some categories.Like if you pick exercise and fitness you’ll have to pick onemore option before you get the shop by price option, so choose bikes, or treadmills, or whatever, then look on the left handside about half way down the page and you’ll see the shop by price option.That’s a pretty handy trick.

. Depending on the department you can
shop by seller or designer
. There are going to be well known designers that are going to be high priced items ~ now some of themmay be pretty competitive, but it’s worth looking at.
4. Shop by reviews
. Amazon reviews are a very handy thing for internet marketers(you). They give you great ideas for content, they give you reviews, and they give you
social proof 
, which is very important. You want to make sure whatever product youchoose, no matter how expensive or inexpensive has at least a few
GOOD
reviews.When I say good I mean at least 4 star rating. The more reviews the BETTER!! Thisgives you a great chance to use all that great information provided from actual productusers. You can even choose to search by stars given if you want.That’s how I filter and find my products for a product based Squidoo Lens.
Let’s recap:
1. Don’t complicate things, just pick a category.2. Shop by price (left hand sidebar)3. Choose products with plenty of good reviews (either sidebar or under the products)Those three things should help you quickly and easily narrow down your choices tostart checking for the search volume and competition. Once you’ve found somethingthat fits ~ go with it!! Don’t worry about it, don’t over think it, just grab it and takeaction.
Step 2. Search Volume is the Magic
