Make Money Online With Niche Websites

If you are looking to make money online by developing web sites, one way that has been proven to work many times is to use a niche development strategy. Niche marketing isn’t new, however it is still an extremely profitable way to make small obscure web sites generate above average income. Here are some tips for your affiliate Internet marketing niche websites.

What is a Niche?

Niche sites are web sites that focus on small categories. For instance, a web developer can easily create a web site on a large category, lets say home improvement, and while home improvement may be a topic that millions of people search for, the truth of the matter is that they are not just searching for home improvement, but a sub topic, lets say outdoor siding or kitchen counters. A niche is an extremely targeted topic that will bring you far fewer visitors, but the visitors that it brings you will be more targeted and probably much more interested in the information that you are offering, and therefore more likely to buy than the non targeted visitor.

Even the sub topic of outdoor siding, can be broken down even further. Niches can be extremely targeted, for instance vinyl siding or even vinyl siding in the Seattle area. While the downside is that the more focused your niche, the less visitors you will have, the upside is that the more focused your niche, the more likely each visitor that comes to your site will find information and products that match their needs.

Niche Sites Deliver

Niche sites delivers in several ways including adverting and the selling of products. Many webmasters monetize their niche sites to be extremely profitable by using advertising services such as Google Adsense and Yahoo Publishers Network, as well as selling advertisements on their web site.

Other ways to streamline your niche site for profit is to sell a specific product (either your own, or an affiliate’s product that fits the niche and is high of quality). Most web developers that customize niche sites find that when it comes to click through rates and interest toward products, nothing beats a niche site for performance.

A great strategy to use when trying to customize your niche site is to create an opt in email list. Once you receive targeted traffic from your niche site, you should start to collect an opt in email list. An opt in email list is when you ask for the emails of your visitors and offer them more information about a topic (i.e. newsletter), free software or a digital coupon to save on products that you sell. Creating an opt in email list on your niche site is a great way to stay in touch with the people that visit your site on a weekly or monthly basis.

Using advertising, affiliate products, your own products along with an opt in email list to develop and promote your niche site is one of the most proven methods to create regular and passive income. If you are looking to become a web developer, or you are already creating web sites, creating niche sites is an extremely profitable strategy in promoting an online business in affiliate marketing or even in promoting a specific product of your own. Sites such as Sbhummer4u are developed to aid both the beginner and the experienced Internet marketer further develops an affiliate Internet marketing business promotion online.
