You may have heard of niche (or authority) sites and how much passive income you can make from them.

You may even started researching what niche you’d like to have a site in.

I’m here to tell you the 4 easy steps to creating a niche site and start creating income that comes easily.

This is the Definitive Guide to Create Successful Amazon Niche Sites

It’s a roadmap of sorts that will help you navigate your way to a Niche Site.

There is a ridiculous amount of information out there about niche sites. A lot of it is really old and out of date. This page is up to date and I take the time to make changes as time goes on and things change. (I actually got started by following Pat Flynn’s Niche Site Duel – the first one – a full 3 years after it started! Whoops!)

It’s different from other guides because I use Project Management Best Practices to continuously improve the process. (I’m a certified Project Management Professional – recognized by PMI.)

So, what are the 4 steps?

First thing you want to do is pick a niche. It sounds simple, but a ton of people get stuck on this step. Watch my video on picking a niche site if you need any help.

This is the most important phase of the process. Every single part of the process is dependent on choosing a niche that targets a group of willing buyers.

You can’t make the process work if you don’t have a commercially viable niche or market.

I like to say, “You need to intercept a customer on the way to make a purchase on Amazon.”

The people visiting your website will be buying something no matter what – so you just need to help them make that buying decision.

You must determine three things to confidently create a niche site monetized with Amazon.

Are products in the niche available on Amazon?
Is the niche big enough?
Is the competition level acceptable?
The first one is easy. You can simply head over to Amazon and search for some products in the niche or market.

Within a few moments, you’ll know exactly what products are out there, plus you can quickly see some related items on the product pages. In less than an hour, you should be able to generate a list of dozens of products on Amazon.

Next is setting up your site. Watch my playlist here for niche site tear downs if you need any ideas.
Luckily, this portion is less of an art and more of a science. That is to say, I can treat this section rather mechanically – I can finish this step and build out the infrastructure in less that 60 minutes.

Yeah, I know some people will disagree with me. These are essential steps but nothing is set in stone after you build out the framework.

The steps to set up the infrastructure are to:

Select a Domain Name
Set up a Hosting Account
Select a WordPress Theme
The days are long gone where you need to find an exact match domain name. An exact match domain is where the domain is the exact KW phrase that you are targeting.

I don’t recommend using exact match domains anymore.

Choose something that is easy to spell and not confusing to say aloud. Like, don’t use a number because you have to explain if it’s the digit or the word spelled out…and don’t use hyphens…

After that, publishing content is huge. This is a crucial step that mastering is going to get you a lot of success.

Last, is getting traffic. Getting traffic can seem difficult, but I have some tips and tricks to getting traffic that I highlight in the video.

There is a lot of noise out there about link building. (Yes, you can outsource link building, but it’s really important to understand the process first hand. You can’t effectively outsource a task if you don’t fully understand the process.)

A basic link building campaign includes:

Social Profiles
Blog Commenting
Guest Posting

That’s it, you are on your way to creating a niche site!
