Niche website

You won't be able to find a good niche and even if you do, the chances are that your site will actually be successful are so slim it's sad

My goal would be to make around 3500 dollars a month.

I've seen people make twice as that, so I'm not sure it's that unlikely. I think the key is selling directly to advertisers, and not AdSensecucking.

original and high quality content is the key. zero chance with duplicated or average content.

I know. I've tried a lot.

I mean, yeah, it'll work if you're good and get traffic and ad contracts.
Obviously the idea behind its making money is solid, but you need to look at or think about specific numbers.

>How much traffic is "a decent amount"?
>Is that (specific) amount reasonably attainable?
>How much money are you going to charge businesses to advertise on your site?
>How many ads are going to be on your site?
>Is it realistic to assume the advertiser will pay this amount to advertise to that many people (or fewer, considering ads are geo-localized)?

Like, this idea has been done thousands of times before. Of course it works. Of course it's solid. Of course it makes money. Businesses advertise on websites all the time.

The issue is not ever with the idea behind how it makes money. It's all, 100%, about realistic expectations about your market and proper execution.

You don't even know what market it is, so nobody can tell you if it's a good or bad idea.

Yes, that goes without saying. That's because Google's algorithm is sophisticated enough to tell whether something's copied or shit quality, and, in return, whether promote it or demote it from the search results. And that's where most of the organic traffic comes from, so it's not something you want to mess with.

But then again, the key, I believe, is not to conform with what AdSense gives you (which most people do). That's the "comfortable way".

That's what I wanted to hear. Advertising is basically what moves the internet and gives Google 97% of it returns, so it should be solid, even if it's getting more difficult every day.

And I've been investigating which markets are more profitable.

Which are available all over the world. Which are the industries where advertisers are more willing to spend big bucks. Which are the least saturated markets. Etc.

You're fucking sad. My fucking 55yo mum created some small website in a niche for a friends 2 years ago. It grew a lot even though she hardly speak english and never ran a business before. 80K profit this year for 15hours a week.

Thanks your input, anon.

In defense of the OP of that post, I was asking for rough/realistic opinions, in order to get a reality check.

Both of you are probably right.

>>1790203
Any more tips/warnings?

Bump for interest

>selling directly to advertisers
you'll need good and consistent numbers for them to bother. you also need information on who your visitors are.
