Sixty dollars is what it cost Val and Helen to start the business that now supports them full time.

"My wife Helen and I are professional software developers" said Val Danilchuk, from their home in the Ukraine. "We used to develop web sites for e-business owners, as well as some client-side desktop software."

But they wanted a better way to sell their skills. So, with a special interest in Internet marketing, they developed their own unique method of evaluating the profitability of business ideas.

"Then we completely automated it", Val told eProfitNews. "As professional programmers, it wasn't hard for us to develop a program that did it hands-free."

The result?

NicheFinder.

It's a market research software tool that helps people find business ideas and products that are in high demand but low supply. A clever niche finder!

It also identifies the most popular keywords for a web page. And even helps you figure out the best domain name for your web business.

That $60 paid for the domain name NicheMarketResearch.com as well as web hosting. But there was also "a massive amount of time invested. We devoted hundreds of our working hours to this project."

At the very beginning, they weren't sure they could profit from the idea so they decided not to invest much money into it at the start.

"Our costs were small, but our investment was large at the same time," says Val, referring to their 8 months of self-education, research and development.

Now, just 4 months after launching the business in July 2002, Val and Helen are pleased.

"We have quit our day jobs, and are currently living off our NicheFinder sales. And of course, we also reinvest money into the business."

Their marketing mix includes a 2-tier associate program (paying 50% and 10%), joint ventures with other marketers, a newsletter, and their free ebook "Beginner's Guide to Niche Marketing".

"And most recently we have started an active link exchange program."

"We should have started doing links exchange earlier. I think it is the easiest and the fastest of all low-cost ways to bring in traffic, find business partners, and improve your search engine ranking."

A unique business idea plus "a massive amount" of hard work is paying off. Now their software is helping others find high-demand low-supply business concepts.

Lynn, MA - A new company has emerged and is making it's mark as the leader in the knowledge of kitchen products. Six months ago, Great Chef Cookware (www.greatchefcookware.com) was started by Jennifer Santerre. As a stay at home mom with two children, she spent a lot of time in the kitchen either cooking for her family or spending the time baking with her kids. She found out that her kitchen products didn't hold up very well over a long period of time and needed more reliable kitchen products that held up on their own. She didn't have time

When you think about chefs, what do you think of first? Which aspects of chefs are important, which are essential, and which ones can you take or leave? You be the judge. Becoming a freelance chef does not mean that just knowing how to cook automatically qualifies you to go into someone's home and cook for them. Obtaining the necessary industry (yes, it is an industry!) knowledge through a comprehensive training program puts you way ahead of the game. Knowing how to market yourself as well as how to go about everyday business functions like accounting, price-setting, scheduling, menu-planning, customer relations, and more can very well dictate whether
