You absolutely can – we’re happy to customize the process and work with you to choose the perfect niche.

However, we’ll also be the first to warn you if a market seems too competitive or unviable. (Sometimes “untapped” niches are quiet for a reason…)

Our usual turnaround time for website completion and handoff is about 6 weeks from intake to delivery, however that is a target and not a guarantee. Once the website is completed, placing backlinks generally takes between 2-4 weeks as well.

We will find you a fresh, brandable .com domain. Our own experience has been that the SEO benefit from aged domains is sporadic at best, and in many cases also carries a lot of risk (if there are bad links, a previously high spam score, etc)

We think the benefits of having a memorable, brandable .com domain far outweigh any initial “rankings boost” you might experience with an aged domain.

There are so many options and variables here, but for starters, the unavoidable costs are going to be hosting ($15 – $25 /mo) and annual domain renewal (~$15 /yr).

Beyond the vitals, it really comes down to your own appetite & bandwidth for writing content, promotion (link building), etc. There’s many ways to do this without spending a dime – and we walk you through all of that in depth.

However, for those who prefer to outsource content creation & promotion, we provide a range of options for that as well.

As for how much content and how many links your site will “need”, it truly all depends on your market, your content strategy and your own objectives.

What many people will do when they start out is mostly rely on elbow grease in the beginning, and then when the site starts earning, they’ll reinvest some of the proceeds back into growing the site’s content & backlinks.

In the beginning, it’s smart to reinvest a good chunk back into growth. Over time, the ratio of reinvestment can be scaled back.

No easy answer here, but our general recommendation on a relative scale is to split your resources (time and or money) on a 70/30 basis; 70% towards content, and 30% towards links.

Again, this may vary depending on what works best for you / your market. But if you need to have a rules-based approach, 70/30 is a good place to start.

Google is generally pretty quick to index some of your site’s pages, even on a new domain. But it can take several weeks until Google “sees” all of your content, even after submitting your sitemap into Search Console.

In general, you’ll see your indexing times start becoming nearly instant (same-day) once your site grows more established from having a variety of quality backlinks.

For the first ~6 months, your traffic is going to be very sporadic and inconsistent. It’s likely just going to be a trickle in the beginning. This is normal. It takes awhile for Google to figure out where your site “belongs” in its index.

But over time, as you continue to publish new content, build new links, and deliver positive behavioral signals (decent dwell time, low bounce rates, etc), you’ll start seeing your avg. position in the SERPs creep upward, and your search traffic increase.

To see revenue, you need to first see targeted, in-market traffic coming in from Google on a consistent basis.

At that point, it’s just about making sure that your visitors are actually getting helpful information from your content to help them make a purchase decision (if you’re promoting affiliate offers), or filling out a form (if you’re running lead gen offers). This can take some trial & error.

In general, we like to see revenue becoming consistent towards the 8-12 month mark. By then, you’ll have a good handle on what your existing visitors respond to, which offers are performing, and so on.

As you add more relevant content and build more links, most sites will see their revenue climb alongside their traffic.

We’re happy to help! Just reach out to us any time. Additionally, we run an ongoing mastermind (about 4-5 times a year) for all Strategic Niche SIte customers to tackle any questions, current issues and so on.

No.

Our job is to do everything possible to maximize your odds of success. And over the years, we’ve had a reasonable success rate.

But ultimately, we don’t control what Google does or doesn’t do, and we also can’t control the industry where your site will participate in.

So while we will make every effort to ensure your site stands the highest possible chance of seeing targeted traffic that will convert into commissions, we cannot guarantee any outcome.

As this is a service involving significant time investment both by ourselves and our production team, we are unable to offer refunds.

However, should you no longer want to pursue your site / market as a going concern down the road, we’re happy to provide guidance on where & how to potentially find a buyer for it.

In general it’s best if you can make the full payment upfront.

We can make installment arrangements in some cases, but it can also result in timing delays.

For example, we can’t place backlinks until your site is fully transferred to your hosting. And we can’t transfer your site until we’ve received full payment, etc.
