Going Nicheless (My plan for 2019!)

Hey, just giving an update on what I'm working on and insights I've come across.

I just finished up my cold weather/seasonal site and it's up to $500 a month (in a similar niche last year I made $350 in October).

I'm hoping to crack $1500 in November (last year I got over $2000 in November) and to average over $3000 for December, January and February.

My plan since September has changed. I had a niche all picked out and it was going to follow the same strategy I've followed for the last two years but I've decided to switch it up a little.

Instead of picking a niche, I'm going completely nicheless and I'm going to put my keyword research skills to the test.

I'm still targeting "best of lists" but I'm going after more of the special feature best of's I talked about here:

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/dylanrieger/blog/finding-bes...

Many of these keywords still get traffic with the year and those I consider golden.

To make this work I'm targeting best of lists that are very, very low competition. In some instances there's no competition. Mainly, though, if a keyword has best of's past the 5th page I won't be bothering with them. Also, the products are generally in the $250 and up range.

I've found when there's only one or two other "best of results" on page 1 of Google I can not only rank for the "best of" but for the term without the word "best" as well. This brings a lot of traffic.

The last month I've been researching like crazy in all niches trying to find these keywords and have a list of nearly 300 right now. My goal is to write 100 of them in the next year.

My ultimate goal is to have a $10,000 month in 2019. I believe in 2019 the winter site I just finished up will make over $5,000 in December, which means this site I'm turning my attention to will have to make over $$5,000. It'll be tough but I'm hoping I can do it.

I'll be providing updates along the way with anything new I come across. It takes about 6 months to see results so it'll probably be around March or April when I update.

I also have started ecommerce dropshipping with Shopify and Aliexpress (opened a store a few days ago). This is different from seo and traffic comes form Facebook Ads and other pay for traffic sources.

I've made a few sales from launching Sunday but so far the ads have cost more than the profit. This is to be expected with Facebook ads, though. Basically you spend $30 on each ad and cut away the losers and keep the winner and scale them to profit.

I'll be focusing on dropshipping this year as well and I hope to get a profitable ecommerce store going.

So that's my 2019 plan. In 2018 I sold my site and got ahead for the first time and this year I'm hoping to stay ahead. I don't want to sell any sites this year and I finally want the round the clock passive income I've been dreaming of for 3 years now.

I wish everyone luck reading this and hope you reach your goals in 2019!

**Note: I wouldn't go nicheless if you plan on targeting keywords like best refrigerators 2019, best tvs 2019. You need a lot of authority to rank for those keywords and you most likely won't get that type of authority going nicheless.

SO much love for this post and your plan! I love having some "niche-less" sites - they tend to do well AND they are amazing testing grounds for new niche site ideas. You're gonna crush it!

Yep! I'm hoping to find some good niches in it to expand further.

Hi Dylan,
Do you mean your website will be a "Best Of" type site so it could contain any products in a "Best Of" format? Is that what you mean by nicheless?

I always look forward to your updates!

Thanks,
Jessica

That's what I mean.. I'll be targeting very low competition best ofs across all niches.

Thanks! I always appreciate your ideas.

Always love your Posts, Dylan.

That's a really interesting approach but I have absolutely no doubt you'll do it! I'm still working through the training :-) so info and posts like this are a real boost.
Ian

Hi,

I always love your posts and when you say nichless it sounds intriguing is that similar to that post in YouTube you did. Forgive me if I come across a bit ditsy.

I havent tried any of what you do but I am thinking of venturing down those ways. If I do I shall go into your posts in a more in-depth way.

Wishing you all the best. I have to say your posts are so helpful. Looking forward to reading more from you Dylan. Thank you for sharing. Your brilliant anyways.

I'm just not going to tie myself down to a specific niche and do a very broad website.

It all sounds exciting and you will accomplish it thats for sure Dylan.

Do you reckon america getting rid of e-packet will affect your ecommerce business?
have thought of getting in on this but the profit margins from china have just been squashed.
I hope you have a good 2019
Phil

I don't think it'll effect things too much and I'm not entirely sure epacket is fully going away. If anything it could be good for dropshippers and force Chinese manufacturers to store products in America. This will mean much faster shipping times!

Hi, can I ask you, how old is your cold weather site?

6 months.. but I had experience in the niche before and knew what keywords to target

Good work! I guess I will just keep plugging away.
