Niche Site Blogger

Niche site tutorials coming

I’ve got a few tutorials lined up for you covering a couple different kinds of niche sites. Each one will be an affiliate-based store, but using different approaches and different levels of complexity.

Simple Store Front

For this tutorial I will build a simple store front much like the store that I’m an affiliate for. There are only a handful of products so no elaborate catalog and thus no elaborate programming involved. We’ll add in some content for the search engines benefit (and the users), but otherwise this will be a relatively quick build.

Datafeed Site

A much more involved tutorial, we’ll take a datafeed that is provided by the advertiser to build a catalog automatically. Obviously this one will take a bit more work but it won’t be too difficult and perhaps a bit more fun than the first one

Hybrid Site

For this tutorial we’ll combine an affiliate store front with an eBay style store. I’ll be using the eBay software that I’ve been working on however instead of the eBay listings being the main focus they will be more of a supporting role. We’ll use the content capabilities of the software to build the actual store and the eBay capabilities naturally for the eBay piece.

In the spirit of completeness I’m not going to hide what the affiliate programs are and I’ll even provide source code where necessary. Yes, this means anyone could duplicate my sites exactly and compete. So be it. I’m hoping though that you take these tutorials and apply what you learn to your own stores and niches. Either way I hope you enjoy them.
