Niche Sites as Passive Income
Niche Marketing
6:13 pm
It’s been a long time since I have posted or put much work into my niche sites. I have been extremely busy with my day job the past few years, and my niche sites have been badly neglected. Lately, especially with the economy in it’s current state, I have thought about ratcheting up my efforts and actually putting *some* time into my poor sites.
The good news is that for the past years, even though I have spent MAYBE a few hours total updating a few things every couple months, my sites have continued to bring home a nice passive income stream. My little neglected sites even managed to pay for part of my wedding and all of my awesome, all-inclusive, super-plush honeymoon. Sweet, right?
The truth is I put A LOT of effort into the sites when I first created them. I spent hours and hours researching how to perfectly optimize my sites for maximum profits. The huge work load on the front end has meant years of easy money for me. Plus, the recent panic about MRSA in the news helped out quite a bit! It taught me how important it is to start on a topic during the time period when the rest of the world says “huh?” when I say MRSA. Sure, It didn’t make a killing the first year, but after the super-bug was plastered all over CNN for days, I was patting myself on the back for my coincidental foresight.
