2. Build a Niche Site

What’s a niche content site, to begin with? A niche content site is a site that panders to a particular group of people. Like gardening is a niche; cooking is a niche; motor repair is a niche. Other people would not be interested in reading about these topics. But, people who are interested in these topics will surely throng your website and even come repeatedly to look for new information that you must put up all the time.

This is the way you need to go about it.

• First, think of a popular niche that you would like to build a site on. You could go to places like  Google Suggest (http://suggest.google.com/) and check out what many people are looking for.

• Google Suggest will also give you a host of keywords that you can use. These are the keywords that people are popularly searching.

• Build content. You will need to have at least 50 pages or so of content to make some kind of impact. Spruce up this content by using right keywords so that it reaches out to the people who are looking for the specific information.

• Then, look for products on your affiliate network site to promote on your niche site. Refer to Affiliate Marketing on how to become a member of an affiliate network site. You can put ads in the form of text and banners. By having your own site, you are saving money on advertising services such as Google AdWords. You have to popularize your site so that more people visit, which in turn will increase the number of clicks (and sales) that you get. At the same time, the popularity of your ads will increase the prospect of your website.
