One Last Motivational Story: $500 Daily From Adsense (No Products, No Affiliate Income, Nothing But Passion)
I would like to share another fundamental lesson to add to all of this: So long as there are lots of other people interested in your niche topic(s), even the worst niche you can imagine still has the potential to bring you a full-time income.
Fraser Cain, a friend of mine shown in the picture above, has built a six-figure website around a niche that absolutely NOBODY in the Internet Marketing community would have said would be profitable.
- There are no products to promote...
- There are no services to write about...
- There are no related Adsense ads that show up (or very little)...
Yet his site earns more than $500+ per DAY from a combination of Adsense and other contextual advertising programs being tested.
In fact, the guy’s niche has the absolute minimum checklist requirements that I outline in my 8-point niche assignment in the next chapter. He built his business on only 2 of my suggested 10 requirements: Personal passion & a huge following of other people that love the same stuff.
A) He has a deep passion for the topic.
When Fraser started his site, he did so purely out of total interest. He did not base his niche upon CPC research and worry how much money he might get per click.
He didn’t worry about the “market” or who was buying stuff in his niche area or whether he would be able to sell anything.
And he also did not concern himself over competition research or avoid/choose/alter keywords for the sake of beating other websites - yet still makes $500+ daily...
B)Second, millions of other people also share the same interest.
Fraser knew that there were other groups of people out there that shared the same interests (his targeted audience).
Sound too good to be true? Well then check out Fraser’s website. Go to www.universetoday.com and you’ll see his simple blog that was started years ago around the universe, stars, solar systems, etc.
