But if you believe in hard work, are able to follow the best practices of blogging and remain patient for a long term then success can’t stay away from you. In this article I will share 5 awesome micro niche blog tips which will compel you to consider starting a niche blog.
What is a Micro Niche Site?
Before proceeding further let me answer what is a niche site and how to do micro niche blogging?
Actually if you see the popular blogs around you, you might have noticed that they are covering many topics under a broad niche in their blogs.
However, you will also find some sites who are writing on a very narrow topic covering a specific interest of people. These are micro niche blogs.
Micro niche websites target a very specific topic and cover almost every detail on the same.
Types of Niche Websites
Micro niche websites are mainly of two types, which is based on the the way they make money – adsense and affiliate.
Depending upon your interest and understanding, you can opt to go for either of these.
How to Make Money with Micro Niche Websites?
So how do you earn money with micro niche blogging?
Micro niche websites are meant to be money generating machines. So if you wish your site to make some decent money, you need to maintain few techniques.
Here are some micro niche blog tips which will help you to build a successful niche site.
1. Traffic Source
As we are talking about making money via micro niche blogging, you have to remember that your keyword should be targeted to such countries where conversion rate is high. Countries like USA, UK, CANADA have very high conversion rates. That means one can make more money online.
If you choose a micro niche based on India or Bangladesh then you may get very little money from ad. So choose your keywords from those countries only.
2. High Converting/ High CPC Keyword
These are products/ keywords for which you can earn a big commission in case of a sale/ click. Look for all such keywords with good volume of search. But remember the competition has to be low to get good result.
If you try to rank for a popular high converting/ CPC keyword, then there will be no benefit as you can’t beat those existing blogs for that keyword. So do some keyword research and choose your keywords wisely.
3. Plan Your Content
So you have finalized the targeted keyword for your micro niche blog. Now you have to explore more related and long tail keywords so that you can write atleast 15+ articles in your blog.
If you can write more articles then no problem as there is no limit on how many blog posts you must write.
Try to write the main article with more than 2000 words with an in-depth analysis. And then write more articles with minimum 500 words to support the main article.
4. Buy Your Domain Name
Now you have to do the next very important thing, buy a domain name for your website. Earlier, if you could find an Exact Match Domain (EMD) with a very low competition then there was huge chance of getting ranked very easily. However, now you have to be more careful about the type of site you build.
Whether you go for an EMD or a PMD (Partial Match Domain), make sure that you have a good website with some quality content on that. Also optimize your site well to rank it better.
5. Rank Your Site
Simply buying the EMD and writing few articles will not give you the desired result. Search engines has changed a lot. So you have to follow the best SEO practices like on-page SEO optimization with a good backlink structure (read the micro niche link building guide).
Keep doing these activities time to time without much bothering about the current state of the blog. Micro niche blogs are easy to rank but to be in the position may take a little more effort. And if you continue these practices then you can even beat a reputed website be in the top for a long period of time.

Micros niche earns more than any other long term site
My blog is about SImply Life Tips – motivation, success and happiness. I don’t know it is micro niche or not because I am new and learning from blogs. What you mean by the main page? Is that cornerstone page?
Hi Mathukutty,
Welcome to my blog.
Your site seems to be an authority site in the personal development niche, whereas micro niche sites are generally small websites with limited number of pages.
Here main page means the homepage of the site.
