Everyone's talking about niche sites and content-rich sites as I described in my previous post. Having investigated it a bit more, I've found that you can write the articles yourself, or use some pre-written ones by extracting them from the numerous article sites.
The deal is that you can use the articles if you leave in the links that the authors have added at the end. I guess it's a kind of viral marketing system.
Sounds fair to me.
To keep people coming back (to click on more Ads), the idea is to keep the site updated regularly. Even if it's just adding one article a week, it should keep people interested.
So I've decided to try it out. I've put together a computer niche site here.
Ok, not much of a niche, but I happened to have that domain lying around unused, so it had to be a computer-based site.
I've added Amazon links to my site, as well as Google AdSense ones. Another possible stream of income.
I'm told it can take a while for people to start finding the site and reading it, and clicking on ads. I'll be promoting the site in the usual ways; forums, this blog, viral marketing in free reports etc.
I'll post the results back here every month, just so you can get some idea of how much a site like that can really earn from AdSense and Amazon.
One of my other sites that contains Google Ads managed to score me the incredible sum of $1.93 last month, but the site's not finished, so I haven't been promoting it yet, so earning some revenue from it was a bit of a surprise.
Maybe I'll start posting graphs of how much I earn from the various income streams that I'me trying to set up, just so that you can see what (if anything) works for the outright amateur.
