Finding your niche

You need to develop a niche within a field where the competition is not so heavy, yet there is still a high demand.

Keyword search

Once you are satisfied with your niche, it's time to so some research to find out if there is a demand for that theme before you start building your website.

The way to do this is by using targeted keywords throughout your text, particularly in the upper third of your website. The keywords must also be relevant to the theme of your niche website. To find out how much competition your niche website will have, do a search for your niche-keyword at Google and see how many results you get. If you end up with millions then the competition is too stiff and you should find another topic. If your results are somewhere between 10,000 and 500,000 then you're on to a winner.
