What's all the NICHE fuss about ?
Can you make money from NICHE ARTICLE WEBSITES ?
Unless you have been confined to a prison cell watching HD
TV for the last few years you must have had 100's if
not 1000's of emails trying to convince you that to
become rich from the internet you must have a network
of Niche Websites !
Well I have been making a very good living from the internet for the
past few years WITHOUT a NICHE WEBSITE anywhere in my
portfolio of internet business websites.
However I do totallly believe that money can be made from adding PPC (
i.e. Google Adsense) and affiiliate links from ClickBank
and Amazon etc. onto web pages ....because I already
add them to my current websites and I earn regular commission
from them.
But will I make any - serious - extra money from publishing my own
network of NICHE ARTICLE WEBSITES ?
I have decided from January 2008 to publish a few new
Niche Article Websites every month and spend a little
time promoting them. I am not going to spend a lot of
time on this experiment for fear of ignoring my current
internet business ....but, depending on the profit results
I may find myself increasing the effort I put into this
experiment. The theory is that eventually I should making
lots of PPC commissions of a few pence plus upto 75%
ClickBank commission Plus Amazon commission multiplied
by 100's of niches sites = Big Profits without having
to handle any customer support ..so lets see whats happens.
Every month I will add links to my latest niches below and post updates
on my commssion earnings from Google Adsense PPC, ClickBank
and Amazon.
Why am I doing this ?
- As I said above I am convinced that money can be earned this way.
Although I am not sure if it's worth the effort ..YET
!
- I also know that it's easier to make a little profit from a lot
of websites than it is to make a lot profit from one
website.
- I am adding links from these NICHE ARTICLE WEBSITES to some of my
current websites, that will help their popularity rating
with the search engines.
- Most Important - I will try anything that makes money on
auto pilot !
How am I making these Niche Article websites ?
Here is a list of the software I am using
in this experiment, these may not be the best available,
but my research shows them to be good value for money
and easy to use for newbies. I will admit to being
an experienced website designer, internet marketeer and
search engine optimisor, but I have tried to conduct
this experiment as a newbie.
- To quickly and easily turn my Niche Articles into Niche
Websites I used the PRO version of ARTICLE
SITE POWER PACK All the pages it generates feature Google
Adsense, Amazon And Clickbank
Ads, Search Engine Optimization, Matching
Niche Videos And Much More. I did edit the standard
page templates supplied slightly, but that is not
neccessary at all. If you want to "tweak" the
niche templates slighty here is a FREE
HTML EDITOR that will do
the job.
- To upload the websites the Article
Site Generator made I
used this FREE
FTP SOFTWARE - it's a .zip file so you will need
an un-packing utilty( Like WinZip™) Download a FREE
ONE HERE
- To save money I decided to publish my niche websites into
Sub Domains - most hosts allow you to have sub domains
but check with your hosting company if they do and how many
you can have - for the newbies reading this a sub domain
is basically making extra use of a main domain like this.
Main
domain = yourmaindomain.com
Sub Domain = subdomain.yourmaindomain.com
So my niches sites are in sub domains, I used the sub domain name as the same
as the niche title for search engine optimisation reasons i.e.
chinchilla.roytebbenham.com and cake-decoration.roytebenham.com
( note it is ok to use hyphons "-" in domain names )
If your domain hosting accopunt uses cPanel its very easy to make subdomains
manually, but because I want to make lots fast I cheated and used Instant
Empire Builder an automatic bulk sub domain maker. Its a nice time saver
and a great tool if you are making nice sites in bulk as I intend doing.
- OH YES ..the articles ! Where do I get them ? Well
there are a few sourcse I use which I will be discussing
in the next few days - one thing I will NOT be doing
is using cheap or FREE articles which are like confetti
wasting hosting space all over the internet.
One other thing I want to try later on it to add some more dynamic
content to the niche sites, but more about that later.
Also more info about how and what methods I use to promote
my new Niche Internet Business.
Here is what I have done so far .. I already had a domain
name and hosting account set up.
- Downloaded, installed and familiarised myself with the software
Approx 1 hour.
- Edited ( optional ) the basic templates in Article
Site Builder
Approx 15 minutes.
- Sorted out some PLR articles I had on my hard drive.
*Approx 15 minutes.
- Made 17 Niche Article Websites.
*Approx 3 minutes each (max) Total
51 minutes (max)
- Auto made sub-domains using Instant Empire Builder
*Approx 3 minutes on auto.
- Use FTP software to upload the 17 websites.
*Approx 5 minutes, while I had a cup of tea.
So apart from the initial software download etc. The
actual time it took me to turn the old PLR articles
I had on my hard drive into 17 potential profit making
Niche Websites published on the interent was approx *24
minutes ! ..not bad eh !
Here are the sites I made in approx 25 minutes..
I have now started using a new system to produce my Niche Adsense websites ..
Take a look at the new format
More details soon !!!
