Step 1
Research keywords and topics for your niche website. Before buying a domain name (unless you have an existing site you plan to use) decide the main focus of your site and its purpose. Consider your hobbies, expertise, side business and primary occupation for ideas.
-
Step 2
Check into the potential profitability of your venture. Find out about the online demand for your product or services, the amount of advertisers competing for keywords related to your site's topic and affiliate programs in your niche.
-
Step 3
Create a quality website with the infrastructure to support added pages, content, media, advertisements and an e-store or shopping cart system if desired. Use a website builder that is simple and easy for you to master so the bulk of your time is spent creating pages and adding revenue.
-
Step 4
Write content pages, each one built around specific, researched keywords relating to your niche topic. Make sure your articles are unique, helpful, and free of errors. This will build credibility with your audience.
-
Step 5
Build traffic to your site through search engine optimization techniques and social promotion. Back links to your site are also valuable and key to high Google rankings.
-
Step 6
Monetize your site. After you have built the foundation, the money part can begin. Look into text ads, affiliate sales networks, e-stores and selling your own e-products or hard goods. Be sure each monetization model fits in with your site's niche and will deliver what your visitors expect.
