Introduction: Niche Websites Checklist Review
Kevin Fahey has built a reputation as the master of Internet Marketing (IM) Checklists. So much so that he has published 48 volumes of them. His latest is on Niche Websites - this is my Niche Websites Checklist Review.
I signed up in 2020 to Kevin Fahey’s IM Checklist Gold 2020 membership. That has given me access to all the 2020 checklists and each of the new ones he produces – volume 48 is the latest in this series and covers the topic of Niche Websites.
The checklists – there are always 18 of them in a volume – go through all the steps you need to follow to accomplish a set outcome. In this case the topic is all about Niche Websites.
Why Consider IM Niche Websites Checklist?
We have been told forever to build niche websites - follow your interest or passions and build on that go the words The tricky question is how do you succeed doing it. Let's start with a definition
A niche website is a site that focuses on a smaller part (i.e., niche) of a bigger market providing helpful content that answers questions or solves problems.That seems simple enough. If the niche has enough demand, it has the potential to generate a side or full-time income.
Source: What is a Niche Website
There are two ingredients here - a narrow enough slice of a market and a problem that needs solving. The art is all about getting the slice small enough so that you can get your arms around it and not be swamped by the competition BUT big enough to generate a meaningful income.
To get here you need to understand two more things. How much competition there is and how they make money and how you can monetize the niche by solving problems.
This is where Kevin Fahey's Niche Websites checklists comes in really handy. He takes you to 4 key areas in 18 checklists
- Narrowing down to choose a niche
- Building a niche website
- Creating content for the niche website
- Monetizing your niche (including key traffic areas)
My Niche Websites Story
I started my first niche website a long time back with the first one following a passion or interest - cycling. I am an avid cyclist. I can tell from the checklists that I made a lot of fundamental mistakes - I never did narrow the niche down enough - I did go down two paths - Cycling For Health and Training for Cycling (I do endurance cycling) - but not narrow enough. That lack of focus flows into too broad an array of content to keep interest growing and an inconsistent approach to monetizing. I also worked out that cyclists only spend money on new equipment and clothing - not on courses.
The starting effort on the website was working with monetizing coming from Google Adsense revenue and content scraped from around the Internet. That all fell over with the Google Penguin and Panda slaps - I was getting low results and drifted onto the next niche idea and the next one and the next one - yoga, forex, bodyweight training, drones, Bitcoin, cooking, kids toys, etc.
What is the point of all this story telling?
Kevin Fahey has compiled the checklists to help you with your Niche Websites. They tell you the questions you need to ask and suggest the research you need to do and the data you need to gather. Start your niche website journey with these checklists and you will avoid a lot of missteps along the way. The biggest lesson from my story is to get one niche website working and then apply the lessons in a cookie cutter way to the next - maybe another sub-niche in the same market.
There is no doubt I can get good value out of using Niche Websites IM Checklist – you can too!! Take my medicine - pick one area and focus in to get it sub-niched and humming.
PLR Power and this IM Checklist
This is a Private Label Rights (PLR) product. You can make it your own and sell it as your own. The PLR rights are a little different for the IM Checklists to others I have seen.
You can edit them and change them around as much as you like. You can use them as a bonus for a paid product and you can add them to a paid membership site and you can turn them into video training course you sell. All that is pretty normal. The limits are that you may not convert them into an eBook and you may not sell them on JVZoo or WarriorPlus. You could explore selling them on one of the other affiliate networks - as Kevin Fahey also sells on Clickbank, I am going to guess he may close that avenue down. Of course, you can sell them from your own website as your own product.
The art of using PLR is to brand them as your own. In my review video, I started to show a way to convert them to an interactive checklist using a newish software tool called Kuicklist. This works really easily with a little cut and paste work and with some editing to get the flow and structure the way you would like and also to add in all your affiliate links in the detail.
Check the review video here – it is a little under 20 minutes and well worth the time. I show you how to make a checklist INTERACTIVE
