What niche are you currently servicing? Are you one of thousands who desperately tries to become the next Problogger and earn a bucket load with his blog, or have you finally seen the light and moved onto greener pastures?

Successful niches have one thing in common. They often involve us having to write about things we hate. So why bother you might ask?

Here is the thing - it is those niches that will eventually make you money! Especially if you have done your research right.

Anybody can build a niche and with all the information available out there, you can learn everything you need to know. Even if you are a brand new beginner.

The secret of doing it right starts with your research. It is the means to an end and if you scamper on this, your niche won’t make you enough money to pay for a movie ticket.

The flavors of niche sites

Niche sites do come in many flavors, perhaps the most popular being niche sites made for Adsense and affiliated niche sites.

You don’t even need money to create your very first niche. You can use a Blogger blog and start building right away. A friend of mine makes insane amounts of money using Blogger blogs. He has tons of niche sites and the last time he mentioned his income it was around $9,000/month.

Not bad for no down cost is it?

Here is one way to build a great niche site

You want to know the secret and how he does it? It’s simple really, all he does is score the Internet for the latest news clips and then quickly creates a new blog pertaining to this subject.

As news hit the mainstream Google searches increase and by getting in early using proper SEO he manages to land on Google’s front page every single time. Guess on which link people click when they see his site amongst the top three with the relevant keyword thrown in?

He then monetizes them by using affiliate programs and sometimes Google Adsense.

It works a treat let me tell you. A blog I created on the fly like this back in December is still clicking around 50 unique visitors every day without having to do anything.

The negative side of these type of niche sites are that they are relatively short lived. You build them, then you milk them and let go. Repeat the cycle as often as possible and it can be the start of a brand business.

What you need to know. First off, it takes a while to get the hang on monetizing these niche sites properly from the beginning. Getting a feel for the topic helps, as you will soon learn what types of ads work and which ones don’t.

If you are not afraid to trial out a little you will soon start to see certain patterns.

Try it, its’ free (except your time investment).
