Niche Empire Generator entered the market to the applause of many internet marketers who blog for profits. This nifty software, the brainchild of a famous marketer Andrew Hansen was created to complement the niche marketing strategies taught in his book “Niche Marketing On Crack”. It has been a few months now and a review would be timely for those who are curious about its effectiveness.

What does the Niche Empire Generator promise to deliver?

This tool was built with the WordPress blog builder in mind. The functions of the software sought to meet the 4 needs of building a niche empire of websites. The needs are to create, update, promote and to manage a group of blogs. Inside the interface, every task that you would normally do manually is integrated and automated. In short, you can:

1. Select a suitable them and instantly activate useful plugins for your website. In a matter of minutes, you have a SEO blog ready to win over the search engines and benefit from social bookmarking.

2. Add your code into the Adsense block ads and links to affiliate products quickly with simple clicks. There is no need for you to learn HTML in this case. You can build a site even without any HTML knowledge.

3. Automatically submit your RSS feeds to directories for instant traffic and indexing. This software has an in-built feature that pings your site directly to major ping services to get your pages indexed almost instantaneously.

4. Updates your blog with fresh unique content. We all understand that website updating is an essential task that can be time consuming as well. With this tool, you can prepare an entire series of content for scheduled posting. So once you have set it up, you can ignore the blog for the longest time you wish.

5. Manage all your blogs from the common platform. The beauty of Niche Empire Generator also lies in its ability to inform you about whether your sites are doing well in the search engines, and how they rank currently so that you can plan for any content updating or promotional efforts.

Where Niche Empire Generator fails to Deliver

If you are looking for software that can automate every single process needed to squeeze maximum profits from your blogs, then this tool is not for you. Effort is needed on your part in order to create profitable niche sites. This is what it cannot do for you.

1. In order to make a cash churning blog, you need to research and dig into keywords to find the right niche and keywords to target.

2. Write unique content to be posted to the websites. Unfortunately, the software does not auto-generate content for your blogs. While the package does provide you with some ready written articles, I would advise you against using them. Probably hundreds of marketers are using them and these are hardly fresh and unique to the search engines by now.

3. Drive traffic with other effective methods like submitting articles to directories, ezines, blogs and more. The software does not have a complete suite of traffic driving tools.

On a scale of 1 to 10, Niche Empire Generator deserves a high 9 for automating all the manual tasks like tweaking your themes, adding adsense and so on. It also does its job well in helping you manage and keep tabs on the performance of an entire group of blogs.

Can you do without it and still make tons of money with niche marketing blogs? Well, you can but it is going to take a long time if you are building the websites on your own even if you are good with HTML and WordPress. The other alternative is to enlist the help of web designers from RentaCoder or other freelance sites. But this option would be costly. This perhaps explains why many are turning to it as a solution.

Why not find out from my blog and see for yourself what Niche Empire Generator is capable of and discover the income potential you can get out of it?

Tyson Bradshaw asked:

New internet marketers often look for niche marketing examples to help to build blogs and websites that will help them to start making money online. These marketers need to truly know what niche marketing means before they head into the brave new world of internet marketing.

When you tell people that you are an internet marketer, they will often regard you with suspicion. This past Thanksgiving, I tried to tell my stepsister what I did in my spare time to make money. She did not understand. When she questioned if I made websites for other people, and I could certainly understand why she was asking me these questions. We had both gone to work for huge companies at a young age.

I worked for AT&T from the time I was 18 years old, and she went to work for Blue Cross when she was in her early twenties. We somehow learned the mindset that it was ok to settle for a check every two weeks, and there were no other options. At 41, I know better. We can make money for ourselves online, and we do have a unique voice and selling point.

Big companies will tend to brainwash you the way they brainwashed our parents who slaved in the 1970′s for little or no money. My thinking is that why do I want to spend 40 hours of every week waiting for you to pay me a minimal wage when I can succeed in my online niche marketing ventures on my own terms?

Niche marketing is not the big giant website that will get you noticed in about 10 years time. Niche marketing is about carving out a niche, whether it be auto parts for Nissan vehicles, to French cooking lessons.

The key is to find interesting niches that people are looking for and profiting from them. You can get started for relatively little money, and you don’t need to know how to code a website either. Simply begin from your own thoughts and ideas.

Amir Fadhil Al Take asked:

We always struggle with financial freedom and thus we try to find the easiest and most profitable way to make money online. We want always to make and get things that we like, for example going to vacation, buying cool TV or perhaps big house.

To achieve those kinds of dreams we need to know how we can make money. One of the easiest ways is making money online although it requires at the beginning little bit work but in the end it will be very profitable and help us to achieve our goal which is freedom.

So why not to start making money online with the way that you like? So what is the solution? The answer is blogging. Blogging is nowadays like a big trend that so many people create and use it for many reasons. One reason why it is used is for making money.

So how you can make money with blogs? There are many different ways. Here are listed some of popular ways.

Affiliating niche products Reviewing niche products Google AdSense Ad placement

Affiliate niche products
You write about some specific product that you like to promote and include your affiliate link. Once someone buys that product under your affiliate link you will get paid.

Reviewing niche products
Reviewing niche products is blogging method where you write a review about some specific products and once again you need to have your affiliate link in that review and once someone buys that product you will get paid. This is almost same like affiliate niche product method but here you concentrate and write only one post about that product and leave it there.

Google AdSense
One of the most popular blogging method that is used and also easiest. All you have to do is sign up to Google AdSense, create an ad in 1 minute, grab the code and place it in your blog. Every time someone clicks your ad you will get paid.

Ad placement
This is also little bit like Google AdSense method but with this method you offer ad space for specific amount of money for specific time. Anybody who likes to place their ads can buy placement from you. All you have to do is show all the spots that are available in your blog and how much you will take for one month.

Matt Sherborne asked:

You want to achieve niche market success in the quickest time possible without worrying if you made the right decision. Choosing the most profitable niche market to use for your next info-product or website can be difficult if you have too many ideas, or are listening to too many different sources.

In this case what I like to do is put my niche ideas through a checklist to narrow down my focus and weed out potential duds that may only be interesting to me or a small group of people.

You always want to target big markets with big appetites for a product. It makes good sense to find the hungriest crowd and deliver exactly what they are looking for. Here’s how I do it…

Choosing the Right Niche Market Checklist

You’ll know your niche is a good choice if you can answer yes to the following:

1. Communities are already in place

a. Online there are: Forums, Social networks and Blogs

b. Offline there are: books, Magazines, Events, TV new, newspapers, radio devoted to the niche market.

2. You see results on web 2.0 sites, Technorati, Dig, StumbleUpon and other social bookmarking pages. (There is a link to a list of the most popular social bookmarking tools at the bottom of this post)

3. People are buying products in the niche market (This is VERY important. You always want to sell what people are buying, not what you want them to.)

An easy way to check if people are buying products in your niche market is to check out Clickbank, Paydotcom and Amazon results. Do a keyword search, if you see multiple products targeting your niche idea, chances are there are people making money from it.
If your niche idea has survived so far and looks like it may be a winner, here’s some questions to ask to narrow down your focus and find the most popular keywords to use to optimize for your product and site.

1. Wordtracker search results are strong

Go to Wordtracker.com and type in the keywords pertaining to the niche

2. Google AdWords External Tool results are strong.

Use this tool to check results: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

You can see how many times the keywords have been searched and take a look at the trends, are they on the way up?

3. Google Search

Search the separate keywords on Google.com. If you see plenty of other Google AdWords on the right of each page, you know it is popular

4. SpyFu.com shows a high popularity and keyword price

5. Other advertisers are paying to publicize to the niche

The amount of advertising you see, whether it’s on TV, in the form of t-shirts and mugs, or in Target, will tell you how much the niche is marketed to.

6. It’s easy to write about

This goes without saying, but if the entire report is on a niche that you know absolutely nothing about, and doesn’t even seem interesting to you, you may want to choose another niche Now you should have some great ideas about how to choose the right niche market for your next product or website.

Rob Ganion asked:

Blogging is a way for anyone to make a decent amount of income online as long as they know how to do it. One of the ways that bloggers can make money online is with niche blogging.

Niche blogging is where you make many mini blogs about certain specific topics and nothing more then that. These blogs are highly targeted to one specific topic only. The reason for this is because that you are going to be putting up ads on your site from Google AdSense.

In order to get people to click on your ads and make you money, you need to have ads that the visitors on your site will be interested in. This means that if you make a niche blog about hockey then the ads that show up on your site will all be about hockey. This will increase your chances of getting clicks by a lot and will in return make you a lot more money online.

With niche blogging you will need to know a lot about SEO as well. If you think of it like this, anyone who searches for things online uses a search engine like Google to find out what they need. If you can get a site to rank on the top results then you are going to get visitors that are interested in whatever your site is about. If you get visitors who are interested in the topic of your site is about then they will be more likely to click on the ads or buy your products that you are trying to sell.

This is exactly what niche blogging is all about. You create many tiny blogs that rank high in the search engines for less competitive terms and from there you make money off those people who visit your site.

The primary way for a niche blogger to make money is with Google AdSense. If you can manage to make a site that makes about $5 a day, which isn’t very hard, and you make 10 of these sites then you are making $50 a day.

niche blogs are not hard to make so this is something that you may want to try out. It takes a bit of work to set up a site, but once its rolling it requires very little work to maintain but will still make your money regardless.

Jared Conley asked:

Thinking about starting a blog, are you? Before you learn how to create a blog, you had better get an idea of what a blog actually is and how it is fundamentally different from other online presences. That’s exactly what I’ll be reviewing in this article.

A blog, short for weblog (web-log, not we-blog), is an online journal. Blogs are specialized forms of web sites, so they typically contain text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, or other media related to their topics. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning “to maintain or add content to a blog.”

Blog entries, or “posts,” are usually displayed in reverse chronological order, and posts are assigned to categories to assist with organization. Posts refer to individual articles, or writings, in a blog.

Blogs differ from traditional web sites in several crucial ways:

Blogs are usually updated very frequently, with inactive blogs being updated several times per month, and active blogs being updated many times per day. Most blogs allow readers to post comments and respond to posts. This dialog is encouraged because interactivity is an important part of many blogs, and also one of the leading sources of tips and new content. Blog writing tends to be much more personal than traditional web writing. Traditional web writing is politically correct sales or marketing copy, whereas blogs have a very intimate voice. Blogs tend to be more opinionated and partisan than web sites, and most blogs are tightly focused on a niche. Blogs commonly offer RSS feeds of the posts and comments contained within them.
RSS feeds?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a family of feed formats used to publish blog content. Feeds make it easy for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that’s easier than checking them manually.

Feeds can be aggregated in a feed reader, a web page or portal page, or a web browser. The feed reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds. In essence, it’s a way for your favorite content to be “pushed” to you, or in this case, a way for your subscribers to get your content pushed to them as it’s updated. In a nutshell, feeds make sure that your readers receive your content as it’s published.

Blogs range from personal journals intended for close friends and family, to influential and significant media journals, to informal communication channels for companies. Blogs exist in about every shape, size, and topic imaginable.

The power of blogs is that they allow millions of people to have a voice. Blogs are fluid and interactive, consisting of two-sided conversations rather than broadcasts. Blogs are fundamentally changing how we use the web, so get your blog started or you’ll be left behind!

Charles Brown asked:

In part two of How To Turn Niche Blogs Into Cash Machines, we talked about the example of a building travel sites that are devoted to senior honeymoons. Each of the blogs could target a specific place and each post on each blog would use those same keywords.

Now let’s talk about how visitors will find your blog. There is a lot of talk about “long tail keywords” or “long tail search terms.” Unfortunately, most writers seem to assume you and I know what these terms mean without further explanation. I tend to be a little behind the trend when it comes to these things so I find myself not knowing what the writers are talking about. (The same things used to happen in junior high school when other guys talked about sex, but that is another story).

Anyway (now that you know more about my childhood than you ever wanted to know) “long tails” refer to specific niches and search terms on Google and other search engines.

Studies have shown that people who type in search queries that are four or more significant words long are several times more likely to buy when they visit a site. Note: “significant words” do not include words like “the, and, a, an, how,” etc. Significant words are words that are truly relevant to a searcher’s query.

So an easy way to think of long tail, is to think of a long search query. The longer the search query, the more specific the information the person is seeking. And the more specific information desired, the more that person will be willing to make a purchase.

But long tails by themselves do not identify a profitable niche. I like to look for problems or illnesses people like to solve. For example, if you look around a site like MedMD, you will learn about a lot of medical issues and problems that represent a host of situations for which people will pay to find a solution.

Another great place is Amazon.com. Look for best selling non-fiction books (particularly how-to books) to find niches that offer solutions. By definition, a niche that can support a best seller is profitable. Your job is to then narrow the niche to find a small enough niche to make money on.

Here again, Amazon can help you out. Many of the books sold on Amazon allow you to look inside. Just click the picture of the book cover and you will be able to see keywords used, and you will be able to see both the table of contents and the index. If you look at these places, you can find a lot of information that could be used to create a very targeted, niche blog that relates to a long tail keyword or search term.

Niche blogging is very profitable. Your competition is scarce to non-existent and, with good SEO techniques your blog can realistically rise to the top of the first page of Google’s rankings for that long tail search terms. All of that is an excellent recipe for success and consistent profits.

Suzanne Bucciarelli asked:

The best way to start out in niche blogging is to narrow your choices to a particular niche that you have some interest or knowledge in. This limits the problems that can arise when you try to cover too many bases and lose focus. Nothing is more self-defeating than a blog that has no appeal to anyone.

Choosing a topic that you have knowledge and interest in makes it easier for you to offer some new insight into the niche and establish yourself as an authority. Your interest and enthusiasm will make the writing fun and exciting. Once you begin to generate money from niche blogging, you will want to create more of these “tantalizing bites for public consumption”. You will probably be able to outsource at least a portion of the work to others so that you can generate material at a rapid pace.

While blogging about topics that interest you is the best way to get started, you have to also do some keyword research to find topics that others are also interested in. The more interested readers are in a topic, the more traffic you will be able to generate to your niche blog.

Let’s take an example and run with it so that you can see how easy this is to do. After researching niches and keywords, select a category that you are familiar with. The choice is yours and it can be anything from sports to earrings. Then choose a particular topic that you have some interest in. This topic should also be easily linked to current products that are available to the public. You can even focus on ideas and information and then produce your own products that have a tie-in with the information you have been providing.

If you need to find some products that you can use to generate money, you will find them at sites with high profile affiliate programs such as AdSense or Amazon. The variety of products that are available to the blogging sector is almost unlimited.

You need to understand that you will have to create new written material for your niche blog, and for the products involved. If you can not do this then you have the option of reworking some PLR articles and using them. Another option is outsourcing the work to others. The key is for you to be able to produce some information that will be useful and fun to read on a continuing basis. This is how you grab an audience for your niche blog and it is also how you create a customer base.

Terry Gorry asked:

So you have set up your micro niche blog with an exact match domain for maximum Google love and have been lucky enough to get onto the first page of Google..or have worked really hard to get it onto the first two pages.

But there is a problem.

That keyword that you targeted is simply not delivering the traffic you expected and your site is not generating the visitors or income you expected. This happens a lot and is one of the drawbacks of micro niche blogs..sometimes the keyword numbers that you have based your site around simply don’t deliver the traffic that you expected from the numbers in the Google keyword tool.

This is why putting all your eggs in one basket is a problematic strategy and why you will want to transition this site to an authority site with lots of content. This type of site is not dependent on one keyword;rather it is capable of ranking for many different keywords and consequently will provide better returns in the long run.

The key to success with blogs or websites is keyword research and it is easier to rank, initially anyway, for a whole range of less competitive keywords than one hotly targeted phrase or word.

Your keyword research should target long tail keywords initially because you will gain momentum almost immediately and the way to do this is through proper keyword research.

To do this you need to generate a large list of keywords and for each and every post on your site you should be targeting at least three keywords, not one. If you repeat this process stringently for every piece of content you have tripled the chances of ranking and winning traffic for each piece of content on your site.

And you will exponentially increase the potential traffic numbers rather than the disappointing situation of ranking really well for one keyword and then discovering that it really was not worth it.

Your keyword research needs to involve more than a cursory glance at the Google keyword tool and a check that the exact match domain is available. A product like Wordtracker will do the trick because it will generate huge lists of keywords and not just exact keywords but related keywords too.

This is vital to the proper setting up of your site with a widely spread range of long tailed keywords which will see you increasing your traffic exponentially. Related keywords are critical to your keyword research and any piece of content about, for example, education should also include keywords like “schooling”, “college”, “education grants” etc.

niche blogs

Aubrey Jones asked:

You already know how valuable blogging can be to increasing the visibility and value of your online business. Having a niche blog is something that can be profitable and easy, or challenging and difficult depending on how you handle the day to day posting. Niche blogs are typically blogs related to one or more specific industries or fields, including hobbies, illnesses, and sports. The more niche, or in-depth a blog is, the harder it might be for people not involved in that niche to get into it. However, people who are interested in the topic will become very loyal because they will find the connection very valuable. It is for this reason that one must think about the best way to make the most out of niche blogs, and finding the right niche is a good start.

When searching for the right niche for any blog, be sure to look at your business’s target market, topics that complement you business and your abilities to keep the blog up to date and relevant within that niche. Say you sell specialty items for animal lovers. You might consider a blog (or blogs) about your favorite type of animal, say dogs. To really be in a niche you should consider narrowing it down even further. So from dogs you may go deeper and focus on only one breed of dogs, like golden retrievers. There is always something new to talk about in this field, particularly if you have a Golden yourself. Animal lovers who search for information about their pets are already in the target market for the specialty items you sell. If you keep the information current and relevant you can become a trusted expert to those fans.

After you have selected your niche blog topic, it’s time to become an expert. No matter how much you think you know about your niche blog theme, chances are you could use some brushing up on the topic. One can brush up on a topic by simply doing research on the niche blog theme, and spending a few hours reading within the blog subject territory each day. Feel free to check out rival blogs, as they will give you an idea of what is popular in this niche, and what is not.

The most important part of getting the most out of a niche blog is becoming the go-to place for information in this niche. That means creating a blog that is constantly updated, and is accurate in the stories relating to the subject. If you do this with your niche blog, expect to see a small, but loyal following.

The opportunity, of course, with a niche blog is to generate revenue off this small following. You might consider selling specialty items directly from your blog if you have a wholesaler. If you provide a service related to the niche topic, you have a great storefront from which to build a client base. Lastly, consider using the blog to generate pay-per-click and or affiliate revenue. Niche blog readers probably have a hard time finding items in their area of interest. Having affiliate links to items of interest can really become a valuable bonus to readers.

So, if you are interested in starting a niche blog, start by finding a topic you know you are interested in (or can become interested in) and become an expert in the topic. Incorporate some revenue generating components and you are now earning money from a niche blog.
