How To Build A Niche Site 2

Money-making ideas on the internet come and go, but
starting a niche website is still one of the most
effective ways out there to earn money. Choosing Your Niche What do I
mean by "niche"? A niche is simply a
category. And all you have to do is look around you
for examples of niche websites. My website is an
example. The niche I'm in is "make money".
Other niches include: Weight Loss Work from Home Cooking How to Find a
Mate Cats There are many more niches out there. Just keep your
eyes open and you'll see examples of them all over
the internet. A sub-niche is breaking down your niche into an even
more specific focus. This can be helpful if you
wish to identify a group of buyers who will be likely to
buy what you have to sell. This is important, since
although the sub-niche may attract a smaller amount
of prospects, they will be more targeted prospects,
which means they will be more willing to buy from you. Here are some
examples of sub-niches: A sub-niche of the category "weight loss"
might be
"Weight loss for people with metabolic disorders" A sub-niche of the
category "work from home" might
be "Internet marketing online" A sub-niche of the category "cooking" might be
"Cooking recipes for diabetic health" A sub-niche of the category "How
to find a mate"
might be "Online dating" A sub-niche of the category "cats" would be "How to
care for your Manx cat" It helps to make the niche something you have an
interest in. Don't start a website about Forex Trading if
you know nothing about it. Stick to a topic you already
have an interest in... but make sure it's one that will
be profitable. How To Tell if Your Idea is Profitable You can find out
if the niche you want to explore is a
profitable one by going to the Google Keyword Tool . (Note: The
keywords tool will soon be replaced by Keyword Planner . It is assumed
that this can work the same way to help you choose keywords; look for
nore articles in the future where I review the
usefulness of the new tool.) In Google Keyword Tool, you enter a keyword and it
will tell you a) Whether the competition is "Low,"
"Medium," or "High"; b) The amount of monthly
searches that are entered in Google for the given term
you entered. This GOLD when it comes to identifying
whether the niche/sub-niche you have in mind would be potentially
profitable. There are articles all over the
place about how to search the Google keyword tool,
so I won't go into this too much here. The main point is
to pick keywords that have a good amount of monthly
searches (at least 10,000 a month is good) while
having the lowest competition. But, be careful! If an idea doesn't
have too much competition, it may be
because the niche just isn't profitable. Making Money From Your Niche
So, you've chosen your niche. How do you translate
this into making money? There are several things you can do. You can
start an email list and build a list of
subscribers. You can be an affiliate and sell other people's
products. You can make and sell your own products. There are other
articles on how to do all of these
things. I might even post ones in the future. Do your
homework and the sky's the limit. Just remember to
offer useful content and keep it related to the niche
you've chosen.
