Hi

Can someone offer some help with choosing a niche to create a website on. I am interested in animals but I'm unsure about what animals to write about and whether to create a broad website that has information and pictures about all types of animals or smaller niche sites with information and pictures for every type of animal? I am prepared to research and write the content that I learn about each type of animal.

  • As far as choosing the niche I would recommend you use Niche Finder.

    I would think if you plan to cover 3-5 animals a micro niche site would do the job. If you plan to write about more creating an authority website with a brandable animal domain name would be best fit in my opinion.
  • Many years ago I used a site called kwbrowse.com but it seems to have disappeared so after a bit of research I found a site called kwmap.net, which may help you find your niche.

    Good luck,

    I can't afford Niche Finder and I'm not sure what theme to choose if I am creating a niche site about 3-5 animals, any ideas? I think I would prefer to write about a smaller amount of animals though so that I don't get too overwhelmed.

    I don't want to write about how to get rid of certain types of animals.
  • Are you more interested in writing about animals or in about making some money from whatever you create your site about???

    I ask because, yes, I always tell people to try and make money from something they enjoy but I would only have someone do that if it also had a good potential to make them some money.

    I have posted it so many times on here before and it is also something I give away to my list building subs so just search on here for how to do market and keyword research.
  • First you need to decide if you are going to have a website about animals that is "how to" in nature, or do you want a site that sells Animal toys, food, clothing, etc. Once you figure that out you can narrow your niche to any level you want. I would suggest if you don't have micro niche finder you learn how to do some keyword research with the Google Keyword tool. There is also a program similar to market samarii that is called Traffic Travis and it has a free version to help you as well.
  • Try to pick an animal and thus related keywords that have a high ppc bid in adwords! This way, you'll make a lot more!
  • I'm suprised you actually got a response... 7 years here and you never thought about thanking someone and you have never being thanked :rolleyes:

    But anyway I give because I can...

    Build an authority site and mold it into an asset... more info means more keywords which equals more money (if you monetizing right).

    ...by authority I mean make it a general animal site!
  • Hi

    Thanks everyone for replying. I know how to do keyword research, I'm uncertain about what niche to go with. I think I need to start targetting very long tail keywords that will rank quickly.

    Will, thank you for those links, I really can't decide what to do.

    RhondaG, I really can't decide whether to go with the 'how to' or sell animal toys, products and so on, can you offer some advice? I thought about doing a general niche animal site with information and pictures about the species. Do you think that could work or does it need to be a how to site or sell products? I'm interested in dogs, rabbits, cows, etc.

    Thanks
