How To Monetize pets niche

In my experience it's easy to attract a large community of people interested in pets....not so easy to develop a community of people who BUY pet products.

Your large community, just PET lovers, of all kinds of pets? You might want to segment them a little; dogs, cats, fish, lizards, birds, whatever. Your lack of time suggests you should zone in, pinpoint a real niche, and see what they are currently buying and if you can find a gap in the supply chain.

Serving everyone who loves pets, may be serving no one? As for drop shipping, Bing, Google and YouTube are still friendly search engines.

I think, just my opinion, you might want to secure your product source BEFORE you try to connect with ecom owners and strike a deal.

You could outsource the creation of an informaiton product. If you have large segments of pet interests, you could create a product for each segment, and sell your product to the people in each segment.

selling pet acesoris, contact your country pet store to offer advertisement spot.

agmccall does bring out an interesting option, yea pet insurance.

I do agreed. Beside pet foods, toys.

Dog: So, we jus' gotta stand around lookin' hungry an' proto-feral, right?

Cat: Plus also sleep, an' tap deep consciousness ishoos.

Iguana: There any place for us fur-fee an' potentially spooky critters?

Fish: Tsk! Fshk! You guys gaht more specialist retailahs available than even us feeish. Plus, you gaht easieah access to travel to othah planets simply by virtyoo of yr goddamn lungs. An' we came frickin' foist FFS! Tellya, were it naht for evolootion, you prolly could naht make this ****** up.

Think differently.

1) Because you are in the "Pet Niche", you have good knowledge about this sector. So stay in this niche but monetize differently bu first opening an account in platforms like Freelancer, Fiverr, Upwork (etc), and offering your skills or gigs.

2) In the "Pet Niche" you may also have knowledge about "What your customers want". So try to introduce a "Paid Newsletter" and try to monetize your knowledge & your existing assets by creating a Paid Subscription Plan through Buymeacoffee, Substack, Patreon, Mailerlite, Memberful, Ghost (etc).

3) With your existing assets, make a video or a podcast. Transforming your text assets into audio or video assets will open you other ways through Udemy (by "selling" them as courses) or Youtube/Vimeo (by advertising & sponsor revenues)

4) Continue with you same website & domain, and in addition to that try other languages with your existing website's subdomains. As you already have all the necessary assets, translate them to 5 other languages and find the affiliate networks in these new languages.

So think outside of the box.

One way to make money from a pet niche website is to offer paid subscriptions for access to exclusive content, such as pet product reviews, helpful information for pet owners, and/or access to an online community of pet owners. Additionally,you could use affiliate marketing to generate revenue by promoting pet products and services, or by offering pet-related ecommerce products. Finally, pay-per-click advertising on your website can also be an effective way to monetize your pet niche website.

Well if you have an email list you can go to clickbank and you will find many pet offers where you can promote throught email list

Look for higher ticket products in your niche.

($100-$500+)

Don't tell me that everyone is paying low commissions and you don't want to promote them.

What about proximity marketing? It is a tactic that allows to target potential consumers with advertising content based on their current location. Some customers are going to be more trusting, or deeper in need, than others. Perhaps they've just picked up a puppy on the side of the road and getting a dog was completely unplanned. That type of customer might just be looking for the nearest available option. Another type might browse a few different local pet stores to see where they can find the best prices, the best experiences, or the best options. Here I like the idea of addressing pet stores and asking for placing the advertisement (it was mentioned above) both in the store and on their site. Or your potential consumers might just browse those local pet store's websites or social media feeds to see which appeals to them viscerally. So, my advice is to communicate with local pet stores and clinics.

I made money years ago in the dog and cat niches...but the landscape is different now. You are competing with Chewy and with Amazon, and the 'expert advice' online on is many veterinary sites for free.

If you can find a really good product source for unique products and can operate in a specialized niche (such as agility training and agility equipment) you might get some traction. If you have a large mailing list you might sell some pet products (tracking tags for collars, for example).

Pets are big business online - to compete you need to have specialized products or new/unique products or expertise in the field to build your own 'community' of potential buyers. Pet insurance is a good product but is being sold online now by major insurance companies so not sure what the profit is in it.

Then again - if you love the pet niche and aren't looking for big profits...you can develop a FB pet group of your own (or a forum but that's more difficult) - where you participate and allow discuss and questions, solutions to common issues, etc and occasional pick up a sponsor or promote an affiliate product.


Added: One idea I had but never developed was a 'common sense pet site'. I know I've found solutions to pet problems that I've NEVER seen posted or suggested anywhere...and I'm sure many pet owners are the same. Yet every pet site I visit has the same 'solutions' to problems...which often involves more money than many pet owners want to spend....or involves more time than they have available. A FB group or a forum or a site that is 'out of the box' solutions for pet problems might gain traction. If nothing else, might be a good 'hook' for a forum or site section on pets.

I've owned several sites in the pet niche (both dogs and cats) and found they can be quite lucrative with an audience that likes to spend a lot.

Affiliate marketing has always been a good option in this niche - there's obviously Amazon which whilst paying low commission rates manages to get people spending a lot of money.

Chewy.com have a good affiliate program, pay 8% I believe, and convert well too.

There's also tons of offers on the big networks like ShareASale, CJ, AWIN, Impact, LinkShare etc.

And Clickbank often has some good, high paying (like 75% commission), digital products too - one of my old sites that I've since sold made most of it's money promoting one of these as an affiliate.

I think you should work on sponsored posts and reviews. Offer sponsored posts or product reviews to pet-related businesses. You can promote their products or services to your audience in exchange for compensation. This approach allows you to leverage your community while working with relevant brands. Might be it will help you. Thanks

- host ads for revenue
- promote your business via paid ads to earn clients
- do sponsored posts/partnerships
- invest in good content to attract customers
- look for higher ticket products in your niche (like talfigel said)

I would focus on ad monetization first since its easy to setup and you get quick results if you have the right traffic. I always go for ad networks so I recommend you try popcash or popads for popunders since they are non-invasive and Mondiad for push/native/banners.
