Niche websites are doing great right now. People are earning big dollars in really less time, and most of them with less effort. To know how to earn big dollars with a niche website in less than a week, first we need to know what a niche website really is.
A niche website is one which is focused on a specific niche (topic), it works on the principle that you make a website with laser sharp focus on a specific topic which provides targeted content, and voila your niche site is done.
To further know what a niche site can achieve let me take a simple example:
As we all do know that the Fifa World Cup is going on, now this is a topic that requires a lot of coverage and no amount of news can be enough for people to satiate their hunger for football. Though they can watch sports channels or visit sports websites but they need even more related stuff. As this is something of a water cooler discussion, people need to know more than others about the ongoing world cup in order to flaunt their knowledge and look cool. Now enter into this big complex equation, some niche blogs and their ability to provide round the clock updated information on the latest happenings make lots of new potential business opportunities in terms of providing updated content. What exactly drives such websites is the demand for exact content which tells us about that event and in most cases niche websites are useful for a day or for a limited period of time.
People make niche websites for ideas ranging from event specific to product specific. People everywhere are setting up such websites, it’s high time you too did so.
Creating the Website.
Firstly, you need to buy a new domain name which should be not too long but significant and keyword rich. Such a domain would give you better ranking in search engines and is also good from SEO perspective. Also keep in mind about the TLD i.e. the domain name’s extension. Country specific domains are good only if you are targeting an event that is hosted in a particular country for example a .us domain would serve good if you had to focus on an event that was exclusive to U.S.A. So mostly prefer a .com or .net domain.
Now, choose the platform of your choice. It can be either WordPress or Blogger or Joomla or even custom coded website if you are that passionate. Blogger will be better if you’re expecting very high traffic. Because then there is less chance of the website going down. After you have finalized your platform you need to start with content planning and strategy.
Divide your work into few parts, mainly content creation, back link creation and social media promotion. Apart from this, you need to get the SEO part right by building a solid on page and off page strategy.
So let’s take it into account that you have a week before hitting the ground. When you hit the ground you gotta hit it running.
The Content.
Divide the work of posts into days, i.e. publish at least 25-50 posts if the website has to be finished within 7 days. For achieving the rate of 25 (5×5) you would only have to write 5 posts per day, and finish the writing work in initial 5 days. For achieving 50 (10×5) posts you can write 10 posts per day and finish the work in 5 days again. Now these 5 days must be interspersed with medium to low backlink creation which you can do by commenting on high profile blogs and websites. Apart from that can do social bookmarking across as many sites as you can. Personally, I found that social bookmarking works better for properly made niche sites as opposed to hardcore backlink creation.
The Outreach.
Now for the SEO part, make sure that the On-page SEO which involves interlinking of pages, keyword rich category names and keyword density is properly set for all the pages. Other factors in On-page SEO can include having breadcrumbs and rich snippets properly set for all the pages. This makes ranking even easier when you keep in mind the rising competition in the niche websites category. For the Off-page SEO, focus only on social bookmarking and interspersed backlink creation.
This guide keeps in mind that you just booked the domain and are trying to rank within 7 days. So make sure the backlink strategy is at least up to 50 links per day for the initial 5 days. After the initial five days pass then only do 2-4 posts in the last two days and a little bit of backlink creation. Once all of these is done, focus on other On-page factors before you are ready to face a traffic deluge on your website. They include getting proper alt tags and title tags for your images and links. You must also add a disclaimer page and privacy policy page to make the site more professional and you can add more such pages depending upon your requirement.
Monetizing Strategy.
You can monetize your niche site either via Google AdSense ads or via CPM ads or affiliate product placements. Depending upon the niche that you have targeted the monetization strategy should also vary. For example: On a site dedicated solely to an electronic product you can place affiliate ads of the same product and expect to make a lot of money. While on any images based website you can place AdSense ads or Media.net Ads and expect to earn some decent money.
Figures upwards of 1000$ in a day are possible with good content and proper strategy. But for a site built within such a limited period you must not get your hopes too high. Despite of all this it will still be a decent investment as the upside is good.
Final Few Steps.
To ensure better ranking don’t forget to submit your sitemap, make customized Robots.txt file. It’s a decent practice to not tell too many people about the niche site that you are working on. There’s a specific benefit of this practice as other people might also add to your competition.
The above guide doesn’t expect you to follow any black-hat practices. Though you might rank good using black-hat tools and strategies but you risk loosing your AdSense account or CPM money if the policies are too stringent. So avoid black-hat methods as much as possible.
Success in such a tight time frame depends upon which niche you chose and how consistent was your work. It also depends upon the quality of content. Scraped content can’t earn decent rankings in a week if only white hat practices are followed.
