When Should I Move On To Another Niche?

The best thing you can do in my opinion is to "Build one house" and then move to another project.

Working on many projects at once will not get you anywhere...

Concentrate on ONLY one niche and stick with it until you get it up and running on autopilot and then move on...

But that is just my opinion...

Anyway...

Best Regards and Good luck !!

I agree with Walter on this one.
When I first started out I was trying to build 2-3 web 2.0 pages a day, this eventually fried my brain and I just about gave up.

Focus on one site/method until you are monetizing it well, even to the point of near full automation.

Then (and only then) move onto a new niche

Best of luck to you!

Well, yes, but I build and then promote for about 3 days. Then build again. maybe you're doing that already but I thought I would mention it.

Basically when you think you reached a saturation point where you can not make any more money on that niche or if you are spending too much time, that you feel your time is better used on some other niche.

I would take things all the way through to profitability, and with
a steady flow of traffic, before moving on to another niche. Having
a dozen incomplete sites (not earning money) is practically worthless.

Once a site is profitable, I'd actually build more sites in that niche
rather than moving to another niche most of the time, although I
appreciate the need to diversify.

I think my problem is that I never feel like I've done enough marketing. I'm trying to squeeze as much PPC, article marketing and organic SEO visitors to the website.

I fear that if I move on, or even just multitask, I'll be keeping myself from finding the secret sauce that I need to get consistent traffic and buyers. Does anyone else ever feel that way with a new site?

My advice is to ALWAYS find a niche that you're interested in. Personally I think it's much better staying in the same niche because after a while, you will be an expert in the niche instead of just a bogus one

If your model is building niche sites, then this is what I've done profitably for over 8 years:

1) Research a niche that has potential. Do the keyword research THOROUGHLY.
2) Create a list with both HIGH and LOW competition keywords.
3) Write 30 articles based on that list.
4) Create the blog with WP and create a customized header, make it nice, but not too professional.
5) Install a plugin that automatically submits each new post to the major social bookmarking sites (look at onlywire for example).
6) Publish the first article. Make it at least 1,000 words. Make it sticky and make sure you have LSI keywords present. Go bookmark the site.
7) Wait for Google to index the site.
8) Once indexed, publish the next 9 articles at one every 2-3 days.
9) Publish the rest at 2 per week.
10) Go do it again for the next niche.
11) In 2 months, see which sites are gaining traction and start improving those.
12) Monetize the winners.

There you are in a nutshell. In a year from now, you should be making at least $1,000/month with Adsense alone. You're welcome

Sell complimentary products/services to existing customers.

Most times you dont need to build more sites.

First build one site and get it ranked on first page and make sure it stays there. Then if sales are not coming in try to split test different titles or pre selling strategies, only then start with the second one with a lesson learned from the first site. Just replicate what best worked for the first site.

Depends - often the way I move into a niche that I really want to capture but where I do not yet have a footprint or 100% visibility is to setup multiple websites targeted specifically at sub-niches.

In some cases I've done this with multiple pages on a single site with each page focused on a specific sub-niche, in other cases I have created completely different sites - result is the same, you soon get a pretty good sense of which sub-niches are pulling and which are not.

Once I've had a few thousand visits to the sites/pages, I make a conclusion on the top 1-2 sub-niches/positioning methods for that market.

I've recently done this in two brand new niches and it worked wonders...within 2-weeks I had a very clear picture of where the demand and money was.

Why people changes his or her business? When they are unable to make any sort of profit from a business, they move to another business. Here also, if you are not successful in a niche, you should move to another.

You definitely Need to maximise one till you are happily earning consistent daily earnings. If you're not smashing one niche, how do you expect to do 2 at the same time.

1 at a time mate, then whem you are making good money, begin to outsource things for other niche websites.

Hope that helps.

find the niche you are interested in, good at and have a love for.

Once you've done this I strongly recommend that you stick with that niche until it is fulfilling your vision.

Put it this way...

You want to build an email list, products, affiliates, JV's etc. By remaining in the same niche you go grow much quicker. When you want to start up a new product in your established niche you already have a list to promote to, affiliates that will promote it for you and JV's that will drive you all the way.

This make perfect sense right.

Why move on unless you have squeeze every bit of juice. You would only move to make more money but I don't believe you will make more money...

You shouldn't just leave your first niche site untouched when you move onto your next niche website project. In order to keep up with Google, it would be wise to constantly pump in content. You'll see more traffic and hopefully higher revenue too if you do so. Def fill up your portfolio of websites, but it would be smart to stay within one niche so you can master it, collect a bunch of opt-ins, and really dominate

Best of luck!

"If you try to hold 2 or more birds in your hand for same time, you will lose the hold from first one."

concentrate one niche at a time. focus on every point which can lead to success. once you succeed, can go for another niche.

this will make things easier to handle.
