Niche site in an hour - Critique my plan
Edit: Okay I realised it needs to be 1 hour 20 minutes ad I wrote this. But still that's fast...
I was thinking last night of a plan to make niche sites in 80 minutes. That includes registering the domain, install wordpress, populate with articles, make it look reasonably good and get some traffic! The only expenditure being the domain name.
The plan is based on squeezing the 'essentials' out of something I done which has made me a few affiliate sales, but the revenue has been low due to nature of the product being a hassle to order. However done correctly this method should make good money when dealing with products that are easy to order with good commissions.
The 1 hour & 20 mins doesn't include the market research and keyword research needed to choose the niche and domain name - but such research could be done over a weekend and generate quite a few of these 1 hour sites.
The market research will choose niches where:
- It should be easy to rank for reasonable popular keywords (doing the Market Samurai thing etc.)
- There are high-traffic and "internet-marketing-naive" forums talking about that niche. These must allow backlinks but not necessarily DOFOLLOW.
- There is are affiliate products to promote that are doing well. Ideally digital products or amazon products.
- Ideally there is a pain to solve where buying the product relieves a pain point. Medical / Lack of Dating Success / etc.
Here is the plan:
- Basics - 8 minutes
- Register domain - 2 minutes
- Add on domain to hostgator - 2 minutes
- Install wordpress - 2 minutes
- Install a 'generic theme' - 2 minutes (the theme will be branded with a good banner)
- Make the blog look good - 15 minutes
- Search on google images for a good picture to help make the banner, and design banner in Paint.NET - 5 minutes
- Find 10 decent relevant articles on EZA and add them to the blog, backdating them 1 week at a time to make the blog look updated - 10 minutes
- Promote a product - 20 minutes
- Choose a product from clickbank/amazon to promote.
- Write a value giving post of 400 words on the blog that answers a question that appears a lot in the forum(s). E.g. where to buy X, or how to achieve Y etc.
- The post gives value without the reader buying, but should lead them to want to buy the product. I've seen this technique a lot in articles / emails sent to me so should be easy to replicate.
- Post it with a picture to make it look article - like.
- Drink cup of tea and rest! - 2 minutes
- Post to forums - 26 minutes
- Sign up for 3 forums - 6 minutes
- On each forum, find good threads to reply, and add great value. Write 100 words or so per post over 6 posts, but just write as you would say it don't think too much. Then mention you found a blog with more information and link to the last post you made with the affiliate link. 20 minutes
- Rest time (before repeating) ... you are human not a robot! - 9 minutes
Now - just wait 7 days and check the web logs for this site, see how much traffic you got. See how many hops you got to your affiliate product and how many sales. I reckon this method could give you 100 targeted visitors in 7 days and your first sale.
Based on these stats determine if you need more traffic, a better converting landing page, or a better product.
Good plan? Anyone want to add anything?
