Long Tail Pro - This tool is HEAVILY used when I am doing any keyword research of any type, including when I am looking to start a new niche site. Long tail pro is hands down the best keyword research tool currently on the market.

Semrush - I love this tool. It helps me find new keywords to rank for that I would have never know about without this tool. I also like to use it to track the progress that my niche sites are making in terms of ranking keywords. I could play around with Semrush for hours on end, highly recommended this tool.

Amazon FBA Tools

Jungle Scout - Awesome tool that will estimate monthly sales for any given product on Amazon. I used this a TON when I was researching a product to sell on Amazon. It also shows you a bunch of other info related to a product such as BSR, # of reviews, average price, rating and other stuff as well.

WordPress Themes and Plugins

Thrive Content Builder - This is an awesome tool that allows you to easily add boxes, buttons, call to actions and anything else that you want to your posts.

This is a great resource page! How exactly do you use Long Tail Pro? I haven’t used it before.

Do you input a general keyword or keyphrase (e.g. “outdoor supplies”) and then it tells you which related long tail keywords are being most heavily-searched? If so, do you then try to incorporate those long tail keywords into the content of your niche site for SEO purposes?
