How I Make Money Online Building Niche Websites
Here’s how I turned this into a profitable venture and how you can start making money by building niche websites too.
1. Understanding What a Niche Website Is
A niche website focuses on a specific topic, product, or interest. Unlike broader websites that try to cover many subjects, niche websites target a small, dedicated audience with highly relevant content.
For example, rather than building a website about general fitness, I might create one solely about kettlebell workouts for women.
The narrower your niche, the easier it is to rank on search engines like Google, as there’s less competition. Plus, a focused audience tends to engage more deeply with your content, making it easier to build trust and monetize.
2. Choosing the Right Niche
One of the most important steps in building a profitable niche website is selecting the right niche. When I first started, I made the mistake of choosing niches I wasn’t passionate about, which made it hard to stay motivated. Now, I balance two factors when choosing a niche:
- Passion: I focus on topics I’m genuinely interested in. This makes content creation enjoyable, ensuring that I’m consistent and that my content is authentic.
