Building niche stores is one way to go and is becoming more and more popular these days. The idea with niche stores is to build lots of them. Since you can build one, start to finish in about 7 minutes this is really easy and effective. Well, the only problem is writing the content which takes me about another 20 minutes. So all in all it takes about a half an hour to build a complete niche store including content.
The idea is to try to make about a buck a day off of each store. Yeah, that's right, only a buck a day! Sounds doable right? It is. Which is why people are starting to do this more and more.
Niche stores are easy to make and hard to mess up. This is perfect for newbies as the keyword selection and generally, the nature of niche store products allows for a super targeted keyword snipe!
This is how you get it all going. First you get BANS. That stands for Build A Niche Store. BANS. This is a software that will allow you to build the stores in minutes. It's really a no brainer and if you are not using bans then you need to. You can throw out all those junk ebooks and get rich products that you wasted your money on in the beginning and get bans.
I'm not selling bans or anything, but I push it really hard. Why? Because so many noobs out there are getting duped everyday by the scammers and "A-Listers". So with BANS you create site with as many pages as you want. The best way to do it is to keep it super simple. Build your site with three pages total, index and two store pages.
Keep all three pages focused around the same super targeted keywords. This will allow google to see that your whole site is relevant to your main keyword. Say you are working on promoting fountain pens. Your index home page could feature the keyword fountain pens. Your other two pages maybe, Parker fountain pens and Sheaffer fountain pens, or perhaps Cheap Sheaffer fountain Pens. Get the idea?
Now if you set a BANS site up on a pre owned domain then you'll avoid the sandbox. Not only that but if it's an old domain then you'll get instant authority and perhaps be making money within a week!
Not all the time but chances are good you'll rank highly quickly with an old domain (which you can purchase for $5 at FreshDrop).
Promotion is simple and done just once....or twice maybe. First, you write three articles and submit them to as many article directories as you can....say 100 of them. Use an article submitter software to greatly reduce the time. This will result in you getting all kinds of one way backlinks with your desired anchor text to your BANS site.
Next, social bookmark the hell out of your site. Be sure to use your keywords in the titles of your bookmarks...these are your anchor links. Hit every site you can. Then bookmark the hell out of all the scuttle sites you can. A tool like bookmarking demon can do this for you while you submit your articles! We are talking about really kicking ass here. Getting links fast. Remember, you aren't going for a ride in the sandbox if you have an old pre owned domain!
Next, get some comments to some blogs. Try to cherry pick some high PR blogs and use your anchors (keywords)....don't use your name as a link to your site! That is WORTHLESS! Do yo want to rank well for your name? NO!
You want to rank for your keywords. Last thing to do is submit your site (BANS) to as many directories as you can....say 200 of them. Use a directory submitter to GREATLY REDUCE THE TIME it take to DO THE WORK.
After a while your links will be counted by google and you should rank highly for your keywords. Remember, niche stores usually shoot for low competition keywords so they are usually quite achievable.
The only problem is writing the content for the niche stores. This slows us down quite a bit. There's no room to pretend to be Shakespeare when writing niche store content. It's dry and boring and it takes lots of time. This is really the only down fall.
There is software for that too and its wonderful. It's called Niche Store Writer and it helps you create templates for your content and change the keywords as necessary. No duplicate content problems either.
See, you have to have the tools of the trade. If you are a cheapskate and refuse to invest in your online business then you should probably stick to your day job. We need to use tools to help get more things done in a shorter time frame.
Remember with BANS your goal is to make a buck a day off of each site. Create hundreds of them and you'll be doing really well. Quantity rules here with niche stores and that's why the tools are so important.
This is more sound than having one or two huge money making sites because what happens if your "money" site is affected by some google algorithm change? Then instead of making $100 a day of a site you're making $10 per day. Everyone knows that it's unwise to put all of your eggs into one basket. Spread out your network of site and you'll be able to take the hits when they come.
