I’ve got a few things to share with you today. First up, an inspiring success story from one of my ClearSERP customers…
I got a DM a couple days ago from someone who grew a simple niche site to $100/day in less than 7 months with ZERO link building.
This is the same guy I talked about last September, who was getting hundreds of visitors on sites that were just weeks old. One of those sites is now hitting some serious numbers:
I asked him to share his secret sauce, and this is what he said:
I'd be lying if l would say l did anything special. I think good keyword research and exact domain was the secrete source. The site is updated daily with 3 articles.
He told me he uses ClearSERP for the keyword research.
ClearSERP makes it extremely easy to find low competition keywords. For example, if you want to build a site in the “home and garden” niche, a good place to start finding high volume, low competition keywords would be to search a site like Houzz in Competitor Research mode, and set the max difficulty to 0.
Or lets say you’re researching low competition niches for “rank and rent” sites. You could research angi.com with max difficulty set to 0:
Lots of juicy, high volume, high value, and low competition keywords in there!
BTW, you can do 1,000 of these keyword searches for just $19. I built ClearSERP to not only be the most powerful keyword research tool on the market, but also ridiculously low priced. Stop overpaying for a lower quality keyword research tool. Go make the switch to ClearSERP now. 😊
By the way, the owner of that $100/day niche site also told me he built a local SEO site on an exact match domain I shared a while back, and it’s currently making $200/month passively (monetized with Lead Smart).
Local service keywords are some of the easiest to rank for, as the competition is often very sparse. There’s still a massive opportunity for simple sites targeting keywords like “[service] [city]”. You can either monetize them with something like Lead Smart, or better yet, find a local company that provides the service to rent out the site for a fee.
The hard part, of course, is finding those exact match domains before anyone else does. Checking availability one city at a time gets old fast, and most of the good ones in populated areas have already been taken.
So I put together something that will save you the legwork:
If even one of these domains turns into a $200/month rental like the one above, it pays for itself many times over - and you've got 17,516 more to work with!
The list is $99, but you can get 20% off with the code NICHESITEGROWTH
Update on Publish Owl
I’ve been busy making tons of improvements to Publish Owl since the last time I mentioned it here.
One of the coolest additions is a content optimizer, kinda like Surfer SEO. But I’m not one to just make a worse version of something. I’m confident Publish Owl’s optimizer is the best on the market. You can actually try it yourself for free (just bring your own LLM and DataForSEO keys).
Sign up for a free Publish Owl account (no credit card required).
I think my favorite part of the optimizer is the “Audit”, which runs a Google Quality Rater audit on your article, using the actual Quality Rater Guidelines.
After the audit, you can “Auto-Optimize” the article, and it’ll make changes based on the audit!
For example, here’s an article I pasted in:
The quality rater audit found multiple issues with this article. Here’s a few of them:
You get the idea…that’s just 3 out of the 9 audit findings in total.
To fix the issues, I simply clicked “Auto-Optimize”, which ran for about 90 seconds, and then the article was completely refreshed and every issue from the audit was fixed.
If you want to audit and fix your articles, you can try Publish Owl 100% free, no credit card required. Just bring your own keys. After 5 optimizations, you’ll need to sign up for a paid plan.
I’m about to launch some new niche sites using Publish Owl for the content, and I’ll be sure to share the progress here. So stay tuned for that!
Before I sign off, I’ve got a question for ya: do you have any traditional “niche sites” still doing well? I’d love to hear if so! Seems these are getting more rare as most of the “niche site” folks have moved on to other business models after the HCU.
Thanks for reading,
Ian
