How to Make Money with Small Niche Websites

A great way to make money online these days is by creating niche websites. It can be very difficult to compete with the 'big boys' of the internet such as Amazon or Google that deal in some of the most popular content  
subjects. You can do it, but it will take a lot of time, effort, and money. In the end you may not succeed the way 
you'd hoped. That is why creating niche websites is a popular and effective way to make money. 

Creating a normal niche website will take time to develop and possibly a significant investment just as a site about a widely popular subject would. That is why I suggest creating a number of very small niche websites. By small, I mean websites with about five pages that provide basic information on a subject. It is a great way to make money without a lot of time or effort and a very small investment. And best of all once everything is set up the sites will require virtually no upkeep. Just move onto creating the next site once the previous one is up and running. 

What makes a small niche website an effective way to make money is that you will get traffic from people who are looking for exactly what your site is about. You may have fewer people overall that visit your site than a large site that covers a large number of subjects, but the people that do visit your site will be looking for exactly what is on your site. This means high conversion rates and more money in your pocket. 

It shouldn't take too long to do all of your research and get a small niche website up and running. If you can put up one small niche website per week, which is very possible, in a year you could have 52 sites up that will make money for you. One site may not make a lot by itself, and some will do better than others. But if you do your research and follow the steps you should be able to average $50-$100 per month for each site. What does that mean? It means that if you have 52 small niche websites up at an average of $50 per site you'd be making over $31,000 per year with your sites. If your sites could average $100 each, which is only a little over $3/day per site, you'd be making over $62,000 per year just by creating small niche websites!
