Making money online is real simple, but it takes time and some hard work before you’ll see the cash on your account. Yesterday I wrote an article about quality Vs quantity and explained that quality is actually not that important. At the same time you can save a tremendous amount of work if you just write about topics with a lot of money.
The advantage of searching for a topic
Instead of creating a niche site about any random topic you can filter out niches where advertisers pay high amounts of money.
If your visitors clicks on your advertising 50 times each day and you have a PPC of $1 you’ll receive $50. If you instead write about something that gives you a PPC of $2, the same number of clicks will earn you $100 each day.
How to find a monetizing topic
First you need to find a niche with a lot of advertisers. Go to Google Traffic Estimator and search for a couple of niches you enjoy writing about. Use quotation marks to find a specific niche. For an example, we have the term “make money online” with a PPC of 2 to 3 dollar.
When you have found a niche you need to find a specific topic to write about. Head over to Google Keyword Tool and search for your niche. Make sure synonyms is marked. If “Ferrari” is your niche, you’ll find a bunch of different models, Ferrari video, Ferrari history, and a lot more.
Just by simple changing your keywords you can change your revenue for several dollars per click.

Very nice post with Stefan. You make a good point regarding PPC. By simply writing about a specific topic, you can increase your daily revenue from $50 to $100.
Thank you. This is one of the most important parts when it comes to niche sites. Even though you succeed to get thousands of visitors you may still not earn that much on them as if you were getting 100 visitors within the “correct” topic.
Great points – so often we forget that by the time that difference in PPC gets multiplied by so many clicks, that is a LOT of money! Once we find niches that pay decently, what is the best way to pick from among them? Do you also consider the amount of competition, and how do you determine that? (Number of results when searching Google, or what)? Thanks!
Since the Swedish market is so small and I have a tendency to work within similar niches I always have a hunch on who my competitors are.
With that said I think to many people are staring themselves blind on the number of results. You can have one million sites trying to rank for a term but if all of them only have one backlink you will outrank them within a second. On the other hand there may be 100 results and all of them have hundreds of high rank backlinks. Then you have no shot of coming close the first page. Try to remind of it and I will publish a post with more in depth methods on how I check out my competition.
Sounds great, thank you!
