Owning niche sites is essential for you to excel in niche marketing.  Every month, we give away a free niche site to one of our lucky Niche Titans newsletter subscribers!  Last month (March 2009) the winner received a fantastic niche site about Organic Baby Food. This month, we’ll leave the choice up to you, our readers!

Here are the few niches I’ve thought of, and why they’d be good niches.  Then, you can vote in the poll below.  The poll will only be open for 3 days, so vote now!   Also, leave a comment saying why you voted how you did! And don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletter for a chance to win a free niche site! (Sign-ups are in the sidebar, and at the bottom of every post.)

  • Mortgages – People are definately spending less money in these tough economic times.  But, those searching for mortgage information are looking to spend money….hundreds of thousands of dollars most likely (over the next 30 years of course!)  Why not be the one to provide them with solid information, either leading them to the lending companies advertising on Adsense, or directly to lending and mortgage companies who pay you per sign-up.
  • Gardening – This is an evergreen niche (literally!)  An evergreen niche is a niche that is good year-round, and for years to come, despite any economic downturns.  People will always continue to garden and do lawn maintenance.  Why not have a site that provides them with solid information.  You can put Adsense ads on each post, while also providing Amazon links to seeds, gardening tools, and other essential supplies for the gardener on your site.
  • Resumes – With an unparalleled amount of people losing jobs than there’s been in the last few generations, many people are having to create or update their resumes.  For many people, they haven’t had to do this in years, and so they are looking to the web for how to do it again.  You can provide some solid information, then send them to a Clickbank product than can help people to create great resumes (and make you some good money!)
  • Self-Improvement – This is another evergreen niche as people are always trying to improve themselves.  There are many self-improvement books on the market, so this is a fantastic niche for Amazon consumers.   People like to spend money on themselves, especially if the product has a chance of improving their looks, condition, or personality.  This niche can solve people problems, which is one of the number one ways to get people to buy something, by solving a problem.

So, now you tell us!  Which one would you like to win?  Vote now, and don’t forget to sign up to our newsletter to be eligible to win!

March 2009 Niche Site Giveaway Winner

April 2, 2009 by · 7 Comments
Filed under: General Marketing 

Well, it’s a new month, so that means we need a winner for the Niche Titans, monthly niche site giveaway!

There were 268 confirmed newsletter subscribers (some signed up, but never clicked the link in the confirmation e-mail). I threw the e-mail address into a randomizer, and it picked the winner.

March’s Winner: Aaron from FatherOfTheBlog.com

His Prize: OrganicBabyFoodBooks.com

Stats:
“Organic Baby Food” gets 14,800 searches/month.
PageRank: 0
Indexed for: 9 months (will make it a lot easier to market)
Income: Amazon & various other organic affiliates.
Traffic: 15-30/month.
Theme: SEO Optimized
Domain: Keyword rich

Sometimes the sites will be brand new, sometimes the sites will be ones that have been aging for easier marketing.

This site hasn’t been marketed, but it can be an awesome site. Mothers are the best demographic for online shoppers. Organic stuff is getting more and more popular. Plenty of monthly searches to make it worth while.

Aaron just needs to start building links to the bad boy, and then sit back and enjoy the mothers visiting his site, buying multiple items from Amazon, and getting commission on not only the organic baby food books, but all other items purchased as well!

Congrats Aaron!

Here’s what Aaron had to say:

“The Niche Titans rock, a free website ready to roll, today is the day my fortune will change. The Titans of Enlightenment should be their tag line! Since subscribing to Niche Titans my ideas of internet marketing have been expanded beyond expectations. So excited to win a free niche website, Thanks Niche Titans Team.”

Do you want to win a FREE niche site at the end of this month? All you have to do is subscribe to our newsletter, confirm your subscription, and you’re entered! It’s that easy! Plus, you’ll get notified by e-mail whenever we make a new post, and other great newsletter-only secrets (such as a recent Affiliate Theme 10% off coupon).

Once again, congrats to Aaron! Enjoy the site bud!

New Webmaster Forum – Win Domains Weekly

I want to tell you about NoobPoint.com for two reasons:

1) It’s a new webmaster forum my buddy just started
2) You can win a free domain every week!

Webmaster Forums
There’s definitely no shortage of webmaster forums, one of the most popular being Digital Point.  But, NoobPoint attempts to stand out from the crowd by not only incorporating the best part of other webmaster forums, but also having a section that is devoted to website/blog flipping.  If you haven’t heard of blog flipping, it’s where you buy or make a site for cheap and sell it for a bit more money to make a profit.  The owner of the forums makes thousands of dollars each year doing it and he is an active member of the forum. This is a great way to learn how to flip blogs without spending any money.

There are other benefits to becoming an active member on NoobPoint such as allowing DoFollow links in the signature field.  If you include a link to your blog or website in your signature you create a new backlink to your site every time you post.  If you’ve noticed a lot of forums use NoFollow links which are used so your signature link doesn’t help your link building efforts .  When creating your signature, be sure to keep the principles of anchor text link building in mind.

Another benefit of creating new threads on NoobPoint now is the good chance that you’ll get stickied for a quality post.  That means, everyone in weeks, months, years to come will see your post at the top and it will have your signature in the bottom of the thread, linking to your site and generating free traffic.

How To Win The Free Domains Every Week
As of today, NoobPoint.com gives out 1 domain every week.  To enter the drawing, all you have to do is 3 posts on the forum in a week.  Then, one person will be randomly drawn to win the domain.  You’ll receive a $7.69 gift card from GoDaddy.  (.com’s are $9.99, but with freely available GoDaddy codes [just search Google] you can get .com’s for $7.69).  He even shows a video of the randomizer program he uses to pick the winners!

So, go check out NoobPoint …make just 3 posts a week, and you can win some free domains, and get 3 dofollow backlinks!
