A niche site, what is it?
A niche site is a site on a very specific theme. A sports news site is not a niche site, as it is probably too broad; but a site on women's football or Italian cuisine is small enough to be considered a niche site.Unlike a blog, a niche site is thought of first to make money. But very often, niche sites have the structure of a blog, with articles, themes and comments. However, the approach is different: where you will probably make a blog about a topic that interests you, the purpose of the niche site is to earn money, so you choose to talk about a subject that can bring you a lot of money. 'money.
That's why I consider niche sites to be one of the (best) ways to make money online.
Sites « made for Adsense »:
Historically (many years ago), niche sites were built around very specific keywords, such as "women's football in France" or "men's yoga mats". We wrote 5 or 10 articles, no more, on this topic and some related topics, we built or paid many inbound links to this site; all in the hope of being in first place in the Google results for this keyword. Because there was all the interest of the niche site: make a lesser effort to easily rank on Google, have visits, and hope to generate some money (10 or 20 euros monthly) through Adsense ads. These are called MFA sites, "Made for Adsense".It was a beautiful time, when a simple site of 5 or 10 pages correctly optimized could be first on Google and report to its owner, very often through Adsense - in general, these owners had tens or hundreds of similar sites.
Authority sites:
Therefore, to be able to place on Google, you have to play the game of Google and make a quality site, with editorial content that pleases and is useful. It should be a reference site for readers (who talk about it on social media) and for other sites (who mention it in an article or in a link).This could be called an authority site - even though the term niche site continues to be widely used.
Where a niche site could be positioned in a few days in the first positions and where you could afford to have a pretty awful site to see (read a spammed site), a site of authority will take much longer to positioning, usually 3 to 6 months, one of the reasons being that you will have to produce a lot more content, and this one will also be of quality.
Amazon sites:
Another type of very popular niche site is the "Amazon site", a niche site around a category of product sold on Amazon, for example books to teach children to count, or shower faucets (yes yes , Amazon sells it). We check that a site around this theme can easily be positioned on Google, and that there are many items to promote on Amazon. Why Amazon? Because so many people use it and therefore have their habits, they will be more likely to make an online purchase. And obviously because Amazon offers an interesting affiliate program.The Clickbank and 1TPE sites:
Clickbank (another affiliate link!) Is a well-known affiliate platform that offers mainly dematerialized goods: online training, ebooks and subscriptions.Know that there are tens of thousands of people who create sites solely for the purpose of promoting a specific Clickbank product. The commissions are generally very interesting (between 50 and 70%), so it is not surprising to find that there is a whole business around Clickbank.
