For a few years now, you’ve probably heard the term “niche blog” being
thrown around, but it recently occurred to me that many people don’t know
exactly what that means.
Let’s define the word “niche” as described by Dictionary.com:
–adjective
pertaining to or intended for a market niche; having specific appeal: niche advertising.
Does that make it clear for you? I thought not…..
I like to describe a niche as either a certain subject or product. By
using those words, it makes it a bit easier to explain.
Here are some examples of very popular niches among internet marketers:
* Weight Loss
* Online Gaming
* Skin Care
* Diabetes
Get it now? If you build a blog that contains only information about
weight loss, then you have a niche blog.
Now to the second part of the title of this post: “How Can I Make Money
From It?”
I just went to Google and conducted a search for “weight loss.” Even
with the quotes, it turned up over 87,000,000 results! That’s some pretty
stiff competition, wouldn’t you say?
So, it stands to reason, the more narrowed-down your niche is, the
better chance you have of making money with it.
I gave it some thought and conducted another search for “diet plan.”
I came up with 4.4 million results. MUCH better, but still too much
competition, right?
So, how about “low carb diet plan?” I got 64,300 results. That’s
what I’m talkin’ about! We’ve found a tiny niche in the hugely popular
“weight loss” niche.
Now all we need is a good, keyword-rich domain name, a few
related keywords to base posts on, and of course, a low carb
product to sell, and we’re in business.
But, of course, that’s another blog post. Stay tuned……
