For many years now, i have been trying hard to understand and figure out the ways to make money online. I have done a lot of research, and found a lot of information, some of it was useful, but most of it was vague and did not provide the answers I was looking for. Everyone knows that when it comes to making money online, the most important thing is traffic.
Getting visitors to your site is the hardest thing of the whole process of building a site to make money online. There are many more factors to achieving success, but traffic is still the most important factor in my opinion. That brings me to the point i want to discuss. People will not visit your site, unless it is of interest to them. That is why it is very important to pick the right niche. I am sure you have heard that before, it is true though, picking a popular niche is key to getting tons of visitors to your site. The word "niche" means tailoring an activity to people's interests and abilities. A common problem, hobby, or desire usually bring people on the internet seeking answers or getting information about their common hobby or problem. Those folks tend to cluster, and you can find groups of them online visiting sites of their interest.
To maximize your benefits, it is advisable to direct your marketing to select niche audience. It is a waste of time, energy and maybe even money to market your services to a niche audience that has no interest whatsoever in what you are marketing. Do your research online, find out what is the most looked after or searched topic. Start a blog or site about that, however if you are not knowledgeable about that specific topic, pick one that you are familiar with. People tend to visit sites with informative articles about things of interest to them, and will not come back if your content is not what they are looking for, or if they see that you don not know what you writing about.
Keep in mind that catering to a large niche markets is important, but not as important as catering to a niche market that shares your interests, as when you write about a topic that you like it comes from the heart, and people tend to like that.
Once you have your popular niche picked, you can work on the other factors of getting a successful site built. I will go over those quick.
- Pick a short, easy to remember and unique URL name that gives an idea as to what your site is about.
- Register your domain name to 3 years or more, as search engine prefer domain names that are registered for more than one year.
- Submit your site to as many search engines and directories as possible.
- Get as many sites with similar topics to link to yours as you can. - Update your content regularly, at least twice a week.
- Promote your new site by visiting and leaving comments on discussion forums and blogs of similar topics.
If you follow the above guidelines, you will have a great shot of creating a successful site that will surely make money online.
