Are you among those that are aware that Wordpress has evolved from being a simple blogging tool into content management system for niche websites? Due to the flexibility of the Wordpress core files and the hundreds of great plugins and widgets that have become available to extend it’s capabilities, Wordpress content management sites have become forces to be reckoned with. This has made the open source (free) software the foundation for many virtual goldmine niche websites.
How’s this for an example: Johns Wu was a 22 year old Wordpress blogger that developed Bankaholic.com, then in 2008 he sold it to BankRate for $15 million. Google Johns Wu name and read about his story and how just over a period of 2 years he made this pr ofit
How many have a JOB that actually offers the opportunity to retire in just 2 years with $15 million profit? Does that encourage you just a little to get started in building up a Wordpress blog in a good niche? You might not ever be offered $15 million for your blog, but what if you could just make a healthy living blogging? That would be worth it wouldn’t it? Just maybe you will be offered a newsworthy profit for a successful blog! How many niche sites can you think of to start?
By doing keyword research based on your interest you will find many subjects with a lot of interest that will make your niche site popular. After you find popular keyword phrases try your favorite to find a domain name that you can register. Use the rest as single subjects to write about to create your pages and blog postings
To drive traffic to your niche wordpress site you need to continually update your content and build backlinks to it. Quality content and backlinks generate search engine traffic. That will bring interested targeted visitors that become interactive.
When building your Wordpress website it should be done from your intense passion for your niche subject. If you build it for the sole purpose to sell it for pr ofit it may never sell. So now you just won’t know if it will sell someday
This intense interest is what will make you stand out from your competitors and make your blog profitable. This being said, if you do get a once in a lifetime offer, it may just take every penny of a few million to make you part with it!
Summary:
Consider a Wordpress niche site to promote your cause first as a hobby. You can set it up within hours, afterwards you add new relevant new content to it everyday. You can learn to automate it for both adding your content and creating backlinks to it.
Only by starting now you can know if the big payday or a money making hobby is in your future!
