Niche sites... One or many?

by MPG
24 replies
I'm a total newbie and I would like some informed opinions.

I identified a few niche topics that I am interested in, and I confirmed that there are decent domain names available for them. All topics are related to the same broader topic.

Should I get one domain and put the information in the same site?
Should I get different domains?

What are the pros and cons of each options?

    Build an authority site.

    Just say you want to promote a keeping a relationship alive product. OK, that would be a micro niche site.

    Hit them with products like:

    • Learning massage
    • Getting better at sex
    • Viagra products
    • Sex toys
    • Communication

    etc....

    Build a huge authority site that people will always go back to.

    Authority Site , will take longer to create ... so ideally if you can focus on this , mcan be monetized over the long run in a variety of ways..

    mini niche sites --> still do well if done properly and once your authority site gets enought content then these realted mini niche sites can add good backlinking value to the main site...


    so if you can do only one authority site, else a combo is a better bet

    Start with 1 site. Build it into something spectacular. As mentioned above, a high-traffic authority site will present multiple monetization options in the long run.

    I have to agree with the getting overwhelmed with too many small niche sites. The thing to think about is you still have to manage them. Even if it is minimal, it is still time and the more you have the more time it takes.

    According to me you should start with just 1 domain and because you can buy more domain letter.

    I am new to Warrior Forum, but I hope my posts here can be useful as I am too still (and will stand still) newbie and need to learn a lot from warriors here.

    If you go for an authority site, you will take a long time to build it. However, I think that is the contribution and sacrifices built here, as you will generate $$$ just from one authority site if you built it good enough.

    If you go for micro niche sites, you will need to build "some". For micro niche sites, quantity is the thing, instead of quality i think.

    So for niche sites, the conclusion is build a lot of them to generate cash. Just in case you want to build an authority sites, go for 1 site, make it as authority as it could be, but you must and have to be very patient for this, i think.

    You need to have more than one site. Google can crack you up anytime and when you only have one site, you lose ALL your profits at once.

    "Should I get one domain and put the information in the same site?"

    ...

    You should do this option - especially if it's related to the theme of all of the niches that you have found. Start with 1 website and monetize it, then put it on autopilot, then start with the next niche. You'll save alot of time this way, and will actually make more money than promoting multiple domains.

    Hmmm - there is another similar thread that seems most prefer lots of niche sites, so I think the jury is still out.

    But I think one thing is certain - more than one is better - if only to avoid a catastrophic delisting or other such calamity....

    inn this case i would go with an authority site but you definitily need to have multiple sites in the end to avoid 'putting all your eggs in one basket'

    All sound advice. I think I'll start with a main site, since most topics are related, and I will keep the others on the back burner for now with the goal of working on them once the first one takes off.

    I still need to define what "takes off" means

    Also, since there is so much to try, I'll use the first one as a learning experience. Don't want to waste time by repeating all the same mistakes everywhere.

    If you wanna go for one site then yes go for an authority website. If you wanna promote different kind of products/niches then have a smaller niche website but work on them one at a time. Do research, create the first one and get it on the first page of google. Once it is, move to your next one.

    Register a domain name suitable to your niche and start implementing your information on it.

    Starting with affiliate marketing will help you to build networks, nature of your niche and marketing styles and resources.

    When You are satisfied with the results you get in affiliating others products register another domain and create your own product which should be creative and helpful to people when they use it.

    When You Are Really Satisfied and with making sales of your very first product start making multiple products and register separate domain names for each of them.

    See its very important to keep on multiplying your marketing and try to bring a positive and innovative change That makes your products and your marketing unique.

    Get each niche on its own domain.

    As the says goes "Never put all your eggs in one basket" Diversification is key.

    Try and focus on one specialized niche and avoid entering different niches or sub-niches at the same time. People prefer sites that offer one specific information in detail. Try and get recognized as an expert of your niche and then move wider.

    One site is he way to go in the beginning so you can see how things go as you are learning to IM. We all want to bite off more than we can chew in the beginning because we are excited and set ourselves up for failure. Take one site and focus hard on getting traffic till you get that figured out and are seeing results. Then take the time to branch out to other sites to continue your success.

    decide upon your KW research, if you have that down, you will know what type of site to build very quickly.

    find many to target, go authority site.

    find only little KWs but one you cannot pass up, build a 5-10 page niche site.

    remember even small niche sites can sell for 10-20x what they earn.

    As always I go against the grain...

    I was banging out lots of niche sites, I built up a portfolio of about 200 sites....

    Now this is a little too much to manage but what i did was when they were all loaded with content and effectively good enough I use to leave them stand...

    After about a month or so I would then take a look at what traffic was coming to the sites naturally and of course look at what money they are making then the sites that ran naturally I would work on with new regular content look at designs and and try and improve the conversions.

    The sites that dont make money I either bin them or sell them off to someone who is interested in that niche :-)
