Niche Sites are specific sites that target one area of life or interest. For example, Joe's Daily is a niche site about Men's Lifestyle, while Sean Ogle's Breaking Eighty is a niche site all about golf. You can always argue that owning any website is a niche site in one way or another.
But, Niche Sites get a section all of their own because they're a little different. Why?
A niche site is:
- Specific: Only covering one topic or interest Authority Building: You present yourself as an authority, or personality, in that niche Keyword Based: Built around a couple of key words or phrase More Than Just A Blog: You aren't just a blog with products, you're a resource for people to visit
But the days of super-specific niche sites, where you only build around one keyword are long dead. They just aren't rich enough for Google, or for people to trust to buy from, anymore. There needs to be depth of content, like in the sites I linked to above.
You can make money from these types of sites with these methods:
- Affiliate marketing Email Marketing Advertising Sponsored Posts Product Reviews Membership Pages Premium Content Downloadable Magazines
And many, many more I'm sure.
Like everything else with money, it depends.
Starting a niche site is a little beyond the scope of this article, though. However you can find a killer guide to getting one started right here.
