In this guide, I will be sharing everything you need to build a Micro-niche site, and how you can earn a great deal of money from it.

What are Micro-niche Websites?

Micro-Niche websites are the perfect way to add some extra amount of money in your monthly income.  Niche websites are specific and targeted towards a micro-topic or keyword.

These websites do not exactly get a lot of traffic but they make more money in less traffic. One reason for the same is, you get quality targeted traffic, and they convert better than un-targeted traffic.

You can use any monetization techniques like- AdSense, ShareASale, Affiliate program, CPA or use it to sell eBooks.

An example for such micro niche sites are:

• Hostgator Coupons
• Cydia guide
• Buy fake iPhone

There are a lot of things to be done before making a micro-niche website.  Simply making a website on a certain keyword is not going to do well.

You have to make sure that your niche website is going to earn money as expected else there is no point of making it.

Here I am going to explain a few things that you need to do and the success of your niche website will totally depend upon it.

Few important point that you must understood are:

1. The Right Keyword for Domain Name
2. Primary Keyword of Your Website
3. Niche Website Content Strategy
4. Monetizing the Niche Website
5. Google Ranking of your Niche website

The Right Keyword

The first step towards a successful M-niche website lies in its domain. A niche website is going to work perfectly only when you have the right keyword in your domain name. Finding the right SEO keyword can be tricky sometimes.

However, there are a lot of things from which you can easily pickup ideas to find the right keyword. For example, you can use Google trends, Google Instant, Online Ads, Magazines. They all give a lot of ideas.

In my view, these ideas can be of two types:

• Local 
• Global

Local simply means country specific i.e. topic will get most of the traffic from your own Country and Global means worldwide traffic. However, being global is always the right choice. Once you get the idea, it’s time to find the right domain name for it. I suggest you to use Google AdWords keyword tool for getting the keyword ideas.

Before you start searching for keyword to find your right domain name, here are few things that you must keep in mind:

1. Limit the Global search to around 4K i.e. 4000 searches per month.
2. Competition should be medium or high.

Now hit the search button. You will get many keywords. Select four or five out of them and search them in Google. Check the results on the first page. If the results appear from e-commerce websites such as eBay, Amazon, then skip the keyword.

If the results have very high ranking websites skip that keyword because there is no way that you can beat those websites with a new one.

If you see mostly blogs and websites of low ranking (Few of them will always be higher but that’s not going to effect ) and they don’t match the exact keyword in their title then register the domain name for your niche website.

Primary Keyword of Your domain name 

Your domain name is the primary keyword of your website. Your whole niche website revolves around your primary keyword. You will rank higher in Google search results for your primary keyword and that’s what our target is.  Next thing that you need to do is:

• Write an article of 1200+ words as your primary article which should be your home page also. (How to use static front page in WordPress).
• Take care of On-Page SEO. You can use a plugin like SEO Writing assistant, to optimize your content.
• Make sure you add LSI Keywords in your article.
• Quality matters so research well before writing. Here are a few factors which will help you to write high-quality content.

Niche Website Content Strategy

Content strategy is very important in order to regularly update your niche website and to gain traffic to other articles. Now its time to create more content on your niche website. Here is how you are going to do it..

• Search for long tail keywords related to your primary keyword.
• Write at least 15-20 secondary articles over the next 3-4 weeks.
• The minimum word limit of these articles should be 350-400 words. More it is, better it is.
• Interlink the articles very well. Take advantage of plugins like Rankmath, Linkwhisper, Yoast SEO Premium.
• Articles should be 100% original and of the best quality.

Install Editorial calendar WordPress plugin, and schedule your content for the next 1-2 months. A regular flow of the article is important, to attain the authority.

Now your micro-niche website has a primary article which is your homepage and number of secondary articles targeting long tail keywords in Google searches. You can add more articles if the websites show better traffic results.

Monetizing the Niche Website

There are various ways to monetize your niche website. You need to choose one which can give you the maximum possible revenue. I mainly use these 3 ways to monetize my niche websites:

• Google AdSense
• Clickbank products
• Amazon Affiliate (Product, eBook)

Since we have taken CPC as a factor while planning out the content strategy, AdSense will ensure a great profit for you. In fact, if you are getting the US, UK and traffic from Canada, then money earned will be much higher.  Along with this, you can pick a few related affiliate products to promote, and this will help you to earn more with your micro niche website.

• Dominate Google AdSense with Micro niche sites

Amazon affiliate program gives 4% commission in the beginning which usually increases up to 14% with an increasing number of sales. Choose which ever you like and it’s also easy to get the affiliate account. If you don’t have one, simply sign up for the account. It’s free.
