Days Old Niche Site Already Making Sales!!
After reviewing a few WSO's and eventually joining the War Room, I can now say that I've found what I've been looking to learn and earn an income with; niche/micro niche sites focused on Amazon and Adsense.
I purchased my first domain name on December 27th in a niche I knew a little bit about and was interested in. The typical product(s) range in pricing between $300-$600 and is in demand. I did a little bit of keyword research, but wasn't 100% sure about it. (I'm def better today at keyword research than almost 2 weeks ago.) Although my niche does have a little bit of competition, I knew with time I could make the Google first page.
After taking my time to add some content (which I'm still doing), designing the blog, and editing posts/adding more plugins, my website has already been found through Google within the first week and I had my first two sales. Not only were they my first two sales from this particular niche website but they purchased items that weren't even in my niche at all.
What I Did
I Did My Research: I know that anyone can get caught up in all the WSO's out there, I'm probably one of them, however, I knew that I wanted to focus on Amazon and Adsense and started there.
I Did My Research (again and again): I've probably purchased two WSO's, a paid WSO ebook, and read a FREE PDF from the War Room. I wanted to see what all of them did to become successful with Amazon/Adsense, and compared what they did against each other. Not only did I do exactly what they all said, but I created my own way of doing things on what I think might work for me. They all advocated what I considered to be the basic concept, which I knew I could replicate, but they all had different ways of doing them (article writing, keyword research) and even how they promote them. I knew if I duplicated their basic concepts, and adapted my own way of doing things by all of their guidance that I could come out successful.
I Kept Learning: Just because one person does something one way, doesn't mean I have to follow it all the way to a T. I found very good plugins from other sources that were never mentioned in the WSO's, and even purchased one or two, that I read from others that have helped them out in other niches. Example: I purchased the SEOPressor for my wordpress blog, and even added a plugin to disable the "right click" so no one would take the content I took the time to write. On top of that, I rewrote my posts to add additional things that would pop out to a reader. Example: Adding in "Who would this product be best for."
I hope this helps some of the other newbies out there starting out. I keep reading about how all these other newbies haven't made money in a year or are about to give up. Here's the thing.. you have to realistically expect that it's going to take time and you're going to have to put a lot of work in your site. Granted, mine did not take long but I didn't write about how much time it took me to write my own articles, or how many times I edited them to get keywords found, or how I improved my website/posts. On top of that, how keywords still get me LOST but I've read probably hours worth of articles on how others do there keyword research just so I can get comfortable in how I do my research.
If you just slap up a website, write a 500 word junk review for only 5 posts and expect it to go somewhere then you just don't get it and you're only going to get the value you put into it.
