Hacking into your potential readers’ minds, and knowing their deepest desires is the greatest art you can have as an internet marketer. For years altogether, you may have thought that keyword research is nothing but finding some of the phrases that more people are looking for and have less competition. But when you dive deep into the keyword research concept, you can observe that there is a type of keywords called buyer keywords.

• What are buyer keywords? Buyer keywords that are typed into search engines by the users, prior to purchasing a product or a service are called buyer keywords.
  Ex: best lens for macro photography, walmart eye exam coupon, etc.

Typically, these searchers have their credit card on hand.

Researching these type of keywords and ranking for them are of greatest importance for affiliate marketers, eCommerce business owners, product owners, etc.

The sad fact is that finding buyer keywords with good search volume and low competition is a tedious job. But I will dumb down the entire process of finding low competition buyer keywords, and will unveil some of the techniques I personally use to uncover the hidden gems.

Types of Buyer Keywords

1.BUY NOW KEYWORDS

These are the keywords that people use minutes or even seconds before their purchase. The traffic that is driven by these keywords often converts well, as the users who are at the final stage of their buyer journey search for these kinds of keywords.

2.PRODUCT KEYWORDS

These people definetely make their purchase, but are still are researching that perfect product to buy. They are often be searching for real-human reviews of the product, and maybe some information related to the product that is crucial for making their purchase decision.

3.PROBLEM-SOLVING KEYWORDS

These type of keywords often start with the “how to”. They are aimed at solving a pain problem that people are solving. Here the conversion depends upon the urgency of the keyword. If the searcher is searching for an immediate solution for a problem, the conversions will be more if you rank for the keyword.

Buyer keywords {how to}

Buyer keywords are not only about the keywords that have a flavor of money in it. The long tail keywords that start from the “how to” can also be buyer intent keywords (how to accomplish a certain task).

Let me give you some examples.

• How to start a WordPress blog? {promote hosting products}
• How to lose weight fast with Paleo diet? {promote Paleo products}
• How to boost social shares on WordPress sites? {promote social sharing plugins}
• How to setup a photography home studio? {promote DSLR, Mic, Lights, etc.}

Any tutorials or DIY content, that involves the usage of products and services, also turns out to be profitable as they cover buyer keywords. By including these type of buyer content that appear as informational can also be a great trick to promote affiliate products or perhaps your own products on your blog.

The keywords starting with “how to” can also be great buyer keywords.​

When choosing this type of keywords, ​go narrow. For example, look at the below keyword examples.

• Home studio
• How to setup a home studio
• How to setup a photography home studio
• How to setup a photography home studio on a budget

As you can see in the above examples, the length of the keyword is increasing. The intent of the keyword is becoming more specific. When the search intent becomes more specific, you can get an idea of what content to include so as to maximize the conversions.

These are some of the best-proven methods to find buyer keywords for maximizing your online income. I hope you found the techniques helpful. Have a nice day ahead.
