Traffic is the live hood of online business as finance is the live hood of off line business. A self help guide to website concept development makes sure that your website has traffic. Without enough traffic which refers to surfers, your online business can’t sail. Told you it will be dead.
Are you frustrated with your website concept? You want to run online business but you don’t know where to start from? You tried to build one but you wasted your money and time to the rich quick scams that promised to help you only to disappoint you? It is said that when you lose,
don’t lose the lesson too.
Oh! The scams are many and should be avoided at all times. There are many sites in fact millions of them and still new ones are popping up. But the saddest truth is that not all these sites succeed. Majority of them are doomed. They don’t have traffic. Any site without traffic is dead. The main reason for lack of traffic is that many site owners are following wrong procedures of website concept development.
Building online business is not simple. It takes time, patience and resources just like an offline business. Before starting anything else, the first thing to do is to take a pen and paper. Write down business ideas.
Sure Website Concept Choosing
From the list of your ideas, select any three website concepts to brainstorm. Why Three? The reason is that you compare them to select the best niche.
Brainstorm It! Search It! and Master Keyword List (MKL) are the tools from SiteSell which helps you to select the best website concept.
Do brainstorming of the three ideas and select a niche that is not too broad or too narrow. Too broad or too narrow means your competitors (also termed as real supply.) It is not easy to win a too broad niche since surfers won’t find your website on search engines results page.
Too narrow website concept means that there are no surfers (also termed as demand) searching for that niche. You can easily know whether your niche is too broad or too narrow by using word tracker program.
How do you narrow down a too broad niche? You can narrow it down by adding a word to your website concept when brainstorming. A too narrow niche can be broadened by deleting a word from the website concept when brainstorming. If it has only one word, use it to do lateral brainstorming. After doing lateral brainstorming, MKL lists keywords related to your niche. These keywords don’t contain the seed word of your niche. Use these keywords to broaden your niche.
Do comparisons on the MKL among the three site concepts. Choose the best that meets the following qualifications:
1. The one which is not too narrow or too broad.
2. The one with sufficient demand.
3. The one you have knowledge on.
4. The one you are passionate about.
5. The one you have sufficient time to work on.
6. The one with more monetization opportunities.
7. The profitable one.
Your ideal website concept should have a demand of 2,000 to 3,000. Your ideal supply should be 30,000 to 70,000 but not more than 200,000.
