A Niche Website is a small website focused on one particular topic which shares information relevant to the chosen topic. It is important that the information be both useful and interesting to your readers. A niche website can be either a few pages or even up to hundreds of pages, depending upon the size of the niche. Typically The Larger more general niche sites are called Authority sites. IMO, Authority are more work for your time investment. If you don’t feel comfortable outsourcing blog tasks, I would stick to smaller niche sites and focus down on your chosen niche.
A great first step in selecting a niche is to write down a list of your interests and passions. Search each item on this list to find one that does not seem to have a website focusing on it specifically.
Narrow down your niche idea based on finding the answers to the following questions:
If your niche is something you are genuinely passionate about and you can stay interested in it, not only will you do a better job promoting it, but you might enjoy working on it. No harm in that, right?! Write a list of your Interests or simply browse through sites like Amazon and eBay. Just pick a category and then a sub category, just drill down until you find a niche that you can become the “authority” on.
Do not do what someone else is doing. Now, this isn’t to mean that you must do something completely original. Doing something completely original is a huge step. First you must think of something totally original, then you must take the risk of whether it will succeed. The better approach is to find something that already has a following and make it better.
Research about 15-20 keywords based around your niche and make sure to based the majority of your site around these keywords. It will help you rank for these keywords when people search for them through Google.
Create at least 10 articles of rich, valuable content with approx 1000 words each. Be sure to use your keywords as much as possible, within reason. These articles will form the backbone of your website.
Sign up to at least 2 affiliate programs related to your niche. Amazon is usually a great place to start. Then I would check out ClickBank.
Build relationships with other content creators in related niches to yours. After you have established yourself, you can start working on guest blogging opportunities.
How do you know if building a niche website is really for you?
Niche websites are definitely for you. If all of your hobbies typically revolve around one major topic, then you should generalize yourself a little more and work into becoming an authority site based around one major niche with smaller niches.
When jumping into a niche site, you should have some basic knowledge of the Topic you are wanting to discuss, or at least a desire to learn it.
What may or may not be completely obvious, you will need to write, or at least pay someone to do it for you.
Probably the most difficult part of this is Setting up and maintaining a website. And I do NOT mean one of the “free” blogging services. If you want a real Blog, Check out Becorath. He set this site up.
You need to be someone people will enjoy following (this has always been my problem) You have to be exciting and pleasant. Not a boring wise ass, like me.
Monetizing a Niche site is pretty straight forward. There are 3 main ways to make money online from a niche website. You can Sell something, promote something, or sell ads.
Selling adn promoting have the potential to earn higher revenue than Ads, but it all depends on your niche and how willing your customers are to spend money.
If you think this is what you want to try, send me a message. I offer expert coaching, guidance, and even offer a variety of Services to help you succeed.
