Built A Micro-Niche Site: These days, anyone can easily start a blog and follow various methods to make money from blogging.
One misconception about blogging is that you need to work day and night to make money. There’s some truth to that if what you’re trying to do is create a name for yourself and/or build a brand.
But if your goal is simply to earn money within a short period of time (but with long-term gains), then there are many shortcuts available.
Let’s take a look at one such shortcut:
In this guide, I will give you a detailed example of a micro-niche blog that helps you to make $100+ per month from AdSense, and an average of $100/month from affiliate marketing. All of this only took a few hours of work to set up.

Before start, first we need to know –
A micro niche blog covers a specific topic and targets a close group of people. It is completely different from normal blogs. These blogs are usually small, and have limited content. You can easily rank a micro niche website on google and drive targeted traffic.
First of all, following many algorithmic changes from Google, niche websites now rank higher in search engines than non-targeted sites.
If you create a high-quality website on any particular topic, your chances of ranking higher are stronger than any existing authority website out there.
Plus, you won’t have to worry day and night about updating your blog.
Once you’ve done the hard work to create your niche site, the next step is to wait for the money to be deposited into your account.
You can follow these steps to create a successful micro-niche blog of your own.
The most important thing you need to do is find a niche that you are comfortable with.
Make sure to think about the potential commercial and popularity aspects of your niche.
Since the target is to make money from the blog using AdSense, it is very important to choose a topic that is popular in countries like the U.S. and the U.K., and that has high commercial value (high CPC).

For keyword research, I used SEMrush. I like SEMrush because you just need to put the website link of the most popular site in your target niche & it will show all of the keywords that site is already ranking for.
The next step is to get a nice domain name. Since it’s a micro-niche site, I would suggest including your keyword in the domain name. Ensure it doesn’t look spammy & add a little flavor to it by using words like “Guide”, “Users”, “101” & so on.
This is the most interesting part, and it’s a little time-consuming. But it pays off well in the long run.
I usually suggest using a Google docs spreadsheet to jot down your research to keep everything organized.
For the content planning, I was clear about a few things I needed to do:
Instead of being particular about choosing only high AdSense CPC keywords, I created a mindmap of content, which was more like an FAQ.
For example:
These were some of the basic ideas I started with before getting into detailed keyword research.
I then used SEMrush to find keywords.
Next, chose a few related blogs on your topic & as I mentioned earlier, use the same tool (SEMrush) to find the precise keywords which are already driving traffic to these sites.
Note: SEMrush is a paid tool, but you can use this link to try SEMrush completely free for 07 days .

By the end of this process, I had at least 20+ topic ideas for my micro-niche website!
Next, spend few hours writing 4-5 blog posts every day, and then one post each day for the next several days.
Within a few days, you have 15 high-quality evergreen posts and your content was ready to go. (Evergreen posts have a 2-3 year expiration date, meaning that these topics should be relevant for at least the next 2-3 years.)
As I said earlier, if you are not good at writing, there is no harm in hiring someone to write for you. Managing a blog takes a lot of work, and it’s important to make sure you have good content to manage.
This part of the set-up is very easy.
The following is a list of the exact tools I used to create and set up my blog, and it’s recommended for you too:
Some useful Plugins and tools for website:
The whole idea of the blog was to not do a lot of work and create a blog that was capable of earning money. The goal was to get great search engine traffic, provide solutions, and quickly make money from this micro-niche blog.
Create A Separate Social Media Page
Social media profiles are helpful in many ways, it’s always good to add social media profiles to your site and use social media automation.
Backlink Building & Promotion
For certain niches, competition is too high & the best way to make your blog rank is by generating high-quality backlinks.
Monetization of Micro-niche website
AdSense is best to monetize your website. However, if you haven’t gotten AdSense approval, then you should use Media.net. Both of them work great if you have traffic from the U.S.A or Europe.
