There’s a lot of opportunities to make money online, and when you have a voice, when you can get people to come to your site and read what you have to say, then your marketing power is so much higher. Every day billions of people search the web for many different things. By making sure that for several key search phrases, your own niche website is the one that comes up in the number one position, that means it’s your content that these people will see, and when it’s time to buy something, it’s you they will listen to, and you that will make money.
First, it’s important to understand that creating niche websites is not a get rich quick scheme. Like any other job, it involves a lot of work, especially up front, for very little money. But the great advantage of this kind of work is that once you know what you’re doing, once your niche websites are created and have ranked up in search engines, then the money comes in very easily.
Before we talk about creating niche websites, let’s define exactly what they are. A niche website is a website like any other, except that it’s targeted at a specific keyword, or topic. For example, while the site Wikipedia will have content about a variety of topics, your niche website may cover only sleeping bags. But your site will cover that topic so well, so thoroughly, that when someone searches Google for that keyword, they will see your site first.
The advantage of this is obvious. If you talk about a product that people may want to buy, that means they will see not only the content from your site, but also the ads you place there, and the affiliate marketing links, thus you get the commissions for each sale. So now, let’s talk about how to go ahead and create a niche site.
First, you need to find which topic your site will cover. This is the single most important part, and you may spend a lot of time on that. You need a topic that people search for, but where there’s little competition. Once you have it, you can register a domain name, and get a hosting provider. Then, use WordPress or another similar content delivery system and start writing content. It’s important that your content is unique and well written, or no one will want to go to your site. Once that’s done and you have at least 20-30 pages of content, you can put in ads from Adsense, affiliates, and so on. Then, start all over again with another keyword and another niche website.
Creating niche websites is not an easy process, and it requires learning about a lot of topics, as you may have guessed already. But all the work is at the start, and once you have a good routine going, there’s people out there with hundreds of niche websites, making $1 a day in ad revenues per site, making them thousands of dollars every month. It’s not easy, but it’s definitively doable.
