Like any business, building niche sites isn& #39;t all roseshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose">

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1">Understanding of SEO*
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2">Basic Wordpress knowledge

*As you grow your 1st site you will need to up your SEO skills
Easy enough
But how do you pick a good niche?
There& #39;s only 3 things I look at when picking a niche:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1">Are men and women BOTH interested in the subject?
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2">Do people buy digital products related to the niche?
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3">Is the audience likely to sign up to an email list for more info on the subject matter
All 3 must be a YEShttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">
All 3 must be a YES
What about competition?
I don& #39;t worry about it b/c I know that over time I can win any niche with my process
The harder the niche is...the higher the reward is when you winhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Explodierender Kopf" aria-label="Emoji: Explodierender Kopf">
I do suggest picking a less competitive niche for your 1st site so you can get a quicker winhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏆" title="Trophäe" aria-label="Emoji: Trophäe">

Most people know what affiliate marketing is but here& #39;s a dumbed down version:

I always start a niche site with the intention of adding display ads at some point
Once I hit a certain traffic level I will display ads on my site using either Mediavine or Adthrive
I love selling digital products on my sites for a number of reasons:
This is really the glue that keeps everything moving
The old adage "You are only as good as your list" still holds true today
I don& #39;t build a site until I have laid out a plan on how I& #39;m going to market via email
