some help with a niche

[iwantmore]

i am looking at breaking into the internet marketing niche and looking for advise.

i have found a few micro niches that i could exploit, i have been told not to say them before so will use a similar well know niche to issulstrate my question.

say my niches were irthritis and similar medical conditions.

would i be better off making a small site for each condition?

or should i make a site that contains different pages for each of the conditions? and the market the site as a whole? (ie arthritis site, sub sites, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.)

another thing i am worried about is how to approach the niche. they are medical conditions. I am not a doctor and dont want to give medical advise for obvious reasons.

any tips on how to create content for the niches, i really dont want to get into trouble for giving miss information.

i am a newbie and welcome suggestions, if you feel i should leave these niches alone until i have more experiance please say so, id prefer to know now rather than after i have spent time on them.

Hi there,

I assume you have one main keyword which you wish to target for each condition? If this is the case and you also have a 'main' theme keyword, for example: Arthritis Advice, then building one site may be the way to go.

It will also depend on how much traffic each of your keywords recieve, is it going to be worth your effort to put several sites together if collectively you would get more traffic.

Are the 'category' keywords quite closely related? For example will they fit well together on one site or will they do better as separate sites.

How much information is available around each 'category' keyword? Is there enough to build an entire site about each one or will it be better to put them together.

With regards to content, you need to be very careful and explicitly state on your site (where readers can see it) that your site is in no way advising them medically, you need to do this to protect yourself as well as your readers.

If you outsource your content and use services such as textbroker then you can look specifically for people who have experience writing in the medical field.

Hope this helps
Ben

thanks for the advise,

yes i have 1-3 keywords for each micro niche and a main niche keyword.

the keywords are closley related.

i have about 10-20 keywords (still deciding best ones) and global searches range from 2000-14,800 pm

for content i think most will be, and article about condition, how it effects someone/how to live with the condition, and maybe 5-10 tips for treatment.

so maybe 3 articles for each condition?

would i write something similar to a privacy statment to make people aware i am not giving medical advise? or would a statment at the bottom of each page be a good idea?

[bwj292]

3 articles per condition sounds fine to me, just structure your site well and it will be fine and obviously don't try to optimise for too many keywords per page.

I would place it into your privacy policy on your site, you could also put a statement underneath any articles where your advise is more specific.

What is your monetization strategy?

So you build a site with several optimized pages around your chosen topic, how do you intend to turn those visitors into dollars?

Will you be selling your own product. an affiliate product?

It's hard to consider site structure entirely based on traffic, need also to understand how your "money pages" will come into play.

Hi Jeff,

I suggest you focus first on PEOPLE instead of PROBLEM. Here is why:

Your example:
When you create a website for your niche, around your chosen keywords. You promote something, right? It might be just some treatment, or an info product, or something similar. Those products will focus on solving the exact problem - irthritis. Just one problem.

Now, what do you plan to do, if you don`t make money off these products? Will you go to another "topic", or try to promote something else?

See, when you focus on PEOPLE instead of one problem, you have a group of individuals who have MANY problems. And you can solve those many problems, by promoting many, many products! and if one does not do well, you go to another problem. But you stay within the same niche.

In your case (sorry I am not related to medicine at all so cannot advice much for the exact topic), you need to find a group of people who suffer from irthritis. Are these older women? Or men? What other problems do they have?

When you go this way, you have endless opportunities in almost every possible niche. And when you focus JUST on an exact problem, you cannot have much creativity, and someday you might just want to quit.

I have been in a very similar situation some years ago. I started a website on a specific problem, and ran out of ideas for solutions. Because there cannot be dozens of solutions to a single problem. But when focusing on people, there are many different problems they have, so you never run out of ideas, and profits

Best,
Alex

i get what your saying and thats good advise, thank you.

the micro niches i have found, can all be linked together, and some people will end up with 2 or more of the micro niche topics because of the conditions they have, didnt think to look at it like that though,

maybe i should make a gerenalisation site, or add links to the other pages withing the articles like

"if you suffer with ****, you may also develope *****, i have some tips blahh blahh blahh"

Hi

Don't forget to built a list of subscribers through your site. To built a trtust relationship with and in the longterm may be able to sell other products too.
