Rank & Earn With A 30+ Articles Website (Quick Tips On Niche Difficulty)
Life isn't competing with others. It's about bettering yourself.
Same goes with affiliate marketing and what's being taught by WA. It can be overwhelming when you're just getting started with WA.
Most of us get stuck at choosing a niche, and Kyle has suggested that every niche is profitable.
Here's the thing, some niches are easier to rank while others are terribly difficult.
But again, as a newbie, I'll suggest starting with any niche that you're passionate in. That's the best way to learn how to build a website, instead of spending too much time figuring out if it's the best profitable niche.
Save that worry after you've made some money with the first site.
And so,
I created my first site with 200+ articles that hit $700 in 2018, but the earning has since dwindled. This site is such a mess that defy the fundamental concept of a niche.
Last year, I created another site that is focused and well-planned. It started to generate income with 60+ articles.
In 2020, I intend to challenge myself by creating a site with only 30+ articles and start earning commisions.
Is it possible? I believe so.
It's important to analyze the niche difficulty if you wanted to make a breakthrough with minimal effort.
Check out the profitable keywords and observe the competitors dominating the first page. Ask these questions:
1. Are there at least two affiliate sites with DA <25 ? (DA is Domain Authority, a relative score derived from Moz tool. )
2 How many pages do these affiliate sites have? (Check the site map for the total pages. If a 30-page site can rank, so could you.)
3. Are the products giving good commission? (Aim for $50+ items if you're doing Amazon Niche sites)
4. Is the niche medical/health related? (You'll want to avoid such niches unless you're a certified medical professional. Google is ranking such sites differently after the previous updates)
Here goes my journey to score another win over myself. Wish me luck.
Cheers,
Kenny

Good luck! Interested to see the results. Do you pay for the Moz tool in order to get the DA score?

Hi Julia,
The Moz tool is free. You just need to create an account with Moz. Just google it and you'll find the tool.

OK, thank you. I googled it before I asked. The Pro version is $99/mo. I now see the free version too.
Thank you Kenny for sharing your thoughts and recommendations. I cannot agree more that it is better avoiding the medical/health niche in our days. It used to be a pretty profitable and interesting niche for me for last 3 years. But since last year updates, it became pretty difficult to rank on the top 2-3 positions competing with Black Hat Marketers.
So, I started working on a new site in a totally different niche. Hopefully hard work and determination will bring good results in 2020.
Thank you again and good luck with your new site. I believe we can do it as well.

Hi Tanya,
Agreed, the medical niche is so volatile. Even if there's an update that benefits us, it's hard to predict when that traffic gets wiped off.
All the best to you too.
Cheers,
Kenny
