This might seem kind of weird, but hell i dont think i am the only one.
Have you guys ever made a site that has women as your target group, and only women.
Right now were i stand i have a solid business plan, and have done a market research for my niche and there is a good business opportunity , the problem is i do not know if i can keep making " girly content " every freaking day.

Let me know your thoughts on the topic.

    It's a good idea if you know what you are talking about and can actually provide value to these women.

    who said you should create girly content "every freaking day"

    let a girl handle that part, they know themselves better than we do

    otherwise great idea, women are the better customers usually [for me]

    It depends a lot on the niche. In some niches, women would be more than happy to have a man’s perspective so you don’t need to actually create “girly” content. And what does that even mean? Are you targeting teenage girls?

    Anyway, if you’re in a niche that isn’t really one that lends itself to a male perspective, then like others have said, hire someone to write the content for you. If you’re trying to sell women tampons, for example, then get a female writer.

    If you’re not willing to pay, or don’t have the finances to pay for a good writer, consider bartering. Maybe find a few writers who are interested in a byline (a link back to their site is not always necessary – some will agree to do it as long as they can get their name out there) and maybe also offer them something else in return, like help with their sites or whatever other skills you might have.

    And before someone decides to slam me for this suggestion, remember that there are plenty of writers at the start of their careers who could use help setting up a website and for whom a byline on a reputable site – I’m assuming it will be reputable – would do them good.

    Or, put up with the pain until your site has enough traffic to attract female writers interested in guest posting on your site without you having to hunt them down and offer your services or payment.

      Is it really that important? I've written articles on false eyelashes before, and I bet 99% of readers wouldn't be able to tell the gender of the writer.

      I personally wouldn't care if a review for razors was written by a woman, as long as it is well written and informative.

        I think it would, to a certain degree. I doubt you can tell me which tampons are uncomfortable or last as advertised, for example, just as I couldn't tell you which condoms are comfortable or not, and I definitely wouldn't try.

          Only if you think reviewers personally try the products they review.

      For some reason, the moment I read this, I had this flashback to Red Dwarf -- awesome show if you haven't seen it -- where Rimmer switches his holographic disk for Christine Kachansky's and says to Lister that he's off because he's having his woman's period. And, as Lister points out, women don't say things like that LOL

    I would outsource writers for some of your original content, but in terms of curating content from similar niches there isn't a problem.

    I write for plenty of target markets, it's really about understanding the FAB's and targeting their wants and needs when you are writing. It's not hard to channel in this when you are writing for a specific niche, I agree though it you aren't confident writing for this market grab the expertise that someone who is.

    Then it's a matter of whether you are being genuine with your audience or not and if you're looking to build a long-term, sustainable business or are just looking to make a quick buck.
