Components Of A Profitable Niche Site


The success of a niche site is determined by its ability to rank higher for

high demand search terms. Most search


terms that are high in demand


typically have relevant products and services that are sold online by

various vendors. As such, selec

ting the right keyword(s) around which to

base your niche website on is critical to your ability to earn affiliate

commissions from product sales, sales of your own digital products as


well as advertising revenue.


Getting A Web Host And A Suitable Domain Name

Tips On Choosing A Domain Name

Always choose a domain name that

is short, meaningful and most

importantly, easy to remember. Your domain name will provide the first

impression of your entire blog or site to the customers. If its something

irrelevant to what your services or pr

oducts actually are, then your

customers will probably never click on


your link again. It is not advised

to have a long domain name, as customers might end up typing it

wrongly into the web browser.


For example, supportforchildren.org is

much easier to remember and is less confusing than

minneapolischildrensupportg

roup.org.

As such, you should be precise in

selecting a suitable domain name!


Unarguably, two of the top vendors in the online marketplace today are


and

They are leaders in the industry which

GoDaddy.com

Namecheap.com

you can count on doing business se

curely and providing good service

from the get go. However, I p

refer to use Namecheap as

they are

reasonably priced. A bonus is that they offer free privacy protection for 1


year (WhoisGuard) and they do not continually try and up-sell you on


other products like some other well known registrars.

Here, we will take you through the process of registering your own

personal domain name at


http://www.namecheap.com/


After setting up your account, you can start searching for available

domain names, and add those that you want into your shopping cart for

purchase.

Once

You have passed through the shopping cart and added your

details as for any online transaction, One query that first time

purchasers sometimes have is the questions that are asked about

WhoisGuard and Nameservers. You can tick the box that says ‘Enable

WhoisGuard’ and mark the button that says ‘Use our free Nameservers’.

WhoisGuard is a free privacy protection function that is free for a year

after your purchase of domain names.

Finish making the payments, and you'l have successfully registered your

own unique domain name!

Setting Up Of Your Blog,Niche,Using Google Adwords



Setting Up Of Your Blog


Now that I've got you excited, do take a look at this website,

, that I had previously owned. It looks neat


, simple and

aboutTeas.com

engaging right? To tell you the truth, it took me only about 5 days to get

the site all started up and functioning w


ith unique articles.

In my opinion, the hardest part of every successful business is always


the initiation process, as it will require much time, effort, and perhaps

startup costs, to overcome.Y

et, if you are willing to put in th

e hard work,

you will eventually find yourself reaping the seeds that you have sown,

and that managing the blog

would be relatively easy after all!

As such, using this model of mine, I'm going to guide you through the



startup process as well, and teach you how to set up an efficient blog like mine!



Choosing A Suitable Niche

Before setting up your site, you will first need to decide on a suitable


target niche to tap into. To help you with this, there are certain key

factors that you ought to take into consideration.

Target Audience


Ask yourself this: Whom do you plan for your blog to cater to? To help

you with this, You can first de


cide on a broad niche, such as health,

finance or gaming, before zoo

ming in on a specific target group. In my

case, I chose to target the health niche, before deciding to start an

educational blog about teas. As such, my main specific target audience


are tea appreciators and dri

nkers.

Level Of Competition

Being in an overcrowded niche could lead to a small and new blog like

yours being phased out

overtime. However, having

many competitors in

the same niche might not necessarily be a bane for your site. In fact,

you might actually use these competitors to your advantage. Knowing

that there are many

different sites and blogs provi

ding information about

teas as well, I decided to build and establish connections with several

webmasters. As a result, I was able to leverage on the success of

several established tea sites, and climbed to the top of Google Search



Page for the keywords “about teas”!


Using Google Adwords Tool

This should be the core factor that determines the niche market that you

are going to venture into. G

oogle

Adwords Tool provides you with

knowledge on the volumes of searches and the level of competition for


specific keywords. It is

perhaps more favourable to focus on a keywords

that have large volumes of searches, and lower levels of competition.

The results are shown as local monthly and global monthly searches.

Because Google is just one sea

rch engine, I usually mult

iply the

numbers I see by a factor of three to cover the remaining 76,548 search

engines out there

Do take note to always check the “Exact” box on the bottom left corner

to ensure the accuracy of t

he

search results. You will see that when this

box is checked, the search number is typically much smaller than the

initial default results.


Take a look at the example be


low:

When the “Broad” box is being selected, the phrase “about teas” has a global

monthly searches of 24,000,000 and

Local Monthly Searches of 360,000.

However, when the “Exact” box is selected, the global monthly searches drops

to 300,000 and local monthly searches to 135,000.



The main keyword “about teas” goes from a search demand of

24,000,000 to 300,00. That is a drastic drop of almost 80times! You see

how this can mislead people into starting what they think are profitable

niche sites?

the past few months! The method which I will soon prove effective, and

will be introducing you to is really a totally common concept – Blogging!

Why Blogs?


You must be wondering how can blogging actually earn me (or You)

residual income! Indeed, blogging alone is just a concept on its own.

However, looking at blogs from a renewed perspective, blogging has

become a norm for many, with over a million blogs dominating the

Internet today. With the advancement of technology, almost everyone

has access to the Internet, and more specifically, your blog! This actually

means that it is easy for you to make connections with fellow bloggers

and readers, and there will definitely be a massive audience for your

blog to cater to!


Opening Your Door To Earn Passive Income

How Google Adsense Can Provide Residual Income Through Your Blog

In this guide, I will be showing you the tips and tricks in utilizing Google

Adsense to help you earn fast cash through blogging.

I chose to use Google Adsense, because I knew I was actually

leveraging on Google's reknowned brand and power. Google, being a

professional company, definitely ensures that all the companies that it

advertises for are reputable and established as well, and thus, people

will trust the links and advertisements that Google provides on my blog!

Also, it is proven that amongst all the other ads on a site, Google

Adsense ads have the highest CTRs! It is also interesting to note that

the ads are easily customizable, as you can choose the colors and types

of the ads to accommodate the layout or themes of your blog!

Basically, Google Adsense works by matching ads with specific

keywords in your blog's content. There will be ads produced on your blog pages according to where and how you choose to place

the ads. As

Adsense operates by a PPC (pay-per-click) mode of payment

you will

earn whenever a visitor of your site clicks on the ads! As such, if you

were to combine well optimized Google Adsense ads with high volumes

of incoming traffic to your blog, this will mean that you will be receiving

monthly residual income!
