Questions

I am running a little business in Germany targeting teachers and schools. We offer fun and sporty adventures for school trips and other extracurricular activities. What we do is "new" so nobody is typing our services into google (example: Tablet Touren - it's a fun new interactive version of a scavenger hunt). There are no common words for when a teacher is looking for what he should do with his class on their next fieldtrip.

I tend to do this with businesses.

I find a set of keywords, where I guess the niche has money + very little access.

The register a domain which relates + is catchy + easy to remember.

Then I completely ignore SEO + searches, because there are none. This means zero competition + using offline marketing.

I do offline marketing by speaking to groups my target niche/audience attends.

Then continually drop the domain name during my talks.

When I say drop the domain name, I mean the domain name as a phrase, not the actual domain name... so...

Find use a domain name which is a phrase you can mention repeatedly to gain mind share traction in people's minds.

Then speak at related Meetup + conferences + networking group events.

After a very short time, you'll start getting exact match searches for the domain name (phrase) you drop in your talks.

This may seem like a lot of work.

It is.

And, to me building $1M dollar businesses this way has worked every time. Other approaches I've taken have never produced the same large effect, as speaking to groups.

Side note: Keep in mind. When you speak to a group. If you wow your audience, they tell other people in their niche. So you may speak to a group of 30 + reach 1000s over time.

This means, to me, I speak with anyone who asks. No group is to small, because who the people in the room know, is anyone's guess.
