Back to the story of how I grew my own niche site Month 1 June 2. The site had been up for a few months, but at this point was basically was just full of placeholder pages getting about 5 1. June was the first month where I started to proactively work on the site, build traffic and monetise. My affiliate site runs on a custom CMS system I have designed, but for your own site you can use wordpress, or your preferred content management package. Ok, so a little bit about the product I had chosen to base my site around. It is a high volume product in the fashionbeauty niche with sales of around 1. It sells very well online I know because I used to sell it. One of the most effective ways of monetising a niche affiliate site is to offer price comparison for a product. If you can presell it with a great review and then tell the customer where they can buy it for the cheapest price, then your clicks are going to convert extremely well. So, I decided that each of my product pages there are around 1. I have bolded the best for a reason. June was spent pretty much putting together highly detailed product reviews for each of the 1. Each of the reviews runs to 2,0. How did I write these reviews Well, I know the product to an extent from selling it, but as a man whose morning regime involves rolling out of bed, into the shower and out the door in 5 minutes, fashionbeauty is obviously not something I can write about from personal experience So, I did a lot of research. I took one product variant at a time and trawled through google and firstly collected all the features and technical specifications for the product. Next I read every review I could find good and bad honesty is a good thing. I watched youtube videos. I read what bloggers had to say. I read and read and read until I felt like I was an expert on the product myself. And only then did I start to writeAnd I say write because writing is what I did. Not copying. Not scraping. Not spinning. Writing. I had researched the product to such a degree that I knew everything about it and could speakwrite on it as an authority straight out of my head. It was easy for me to sell the product as I knew all the pros and cons like the back of my hand. I repeated the same laborious research process for each product variant until I had detailed, lengthy, compelling reviews for each of them. I didnt start writing with a word count in mind, but as I mentioned above, each of the reviews ended up running to between 2,0. The great thing about content this length is you will naturally use lots of different combinations of keywords and phrases without even having to think about it.
