You say ‘you think’ it’s better using affiliate programs because it pays better. There’s your problem. If you ‘think’ but don’t ‘know’ then you’re working blindly. I ‘know’ a lot of my niches and what they pay in AdSense versus affiliate products and some are much more profitable with AdSense.

Just wanted to pass some related information on, I have a site about debt, the good clicks are in the $4.00 range. Occasionally I’ll get a .25 click, I found this to be a glitch on Googles part, they sent an unrelated public service add to the site. It doesn’t happen often, but it happens. Nothing is perfect.

I am in the early stage with a lot of my niche sites… If I start to see traffic then I plan to build in optin boxes and things.

It seems like you have a nice structure building system for all your sites and I am looking forward to the future posts.

No, I don’t go out of my way to focus on related niches. It is a case-by-case basis with a very strong focus on super hungry markets and or high return niches such as credit.

When it comes to managing lists in a variety of niches it’s as simple as setting up a series of auto-responder emails at the outset and set and forget.

Unless the niche is one that rapidly changes you can set things up once and revisit it only every so often or send out a broadcast for a special deal at any given time. You can even use PLR in your autoresponder series too.

I hope that helps and thanks for stopping by.

Regarding optins for niches, I’d be interested in knowing your view on when it may be too time-consuming to keep up with multiple lists. I surmise that there are times when optins on multiple sites can be merged into one purpose as long as there’s a common thread among the niches.

Using your pregnancy niche above as an example, that could easily fit under a “family” or “parenting” umbrella, if you will. So your efforts are more focused when producing emails to your audience.

But when you create an entirely separate niche with a separate list, you’ve now added another item to your list of things to take care of.

So I guess what I’m trying to get at — in a roundabout way — is do you employ an overall strategy to create subniches that have some common element among them that would make it worth your while to provide useful communications and offers to? Or is it more of a case-by-case basis that’s founded on your interests and weighing them against how much time you want to put into it?

Does that make sense?
