The Story of Niche Wolf – Niche Ideas and Keyword Research

May 18, 2017 by Matthew Allen 14 Comments

The original ‘logo’ that I used for Niche Wolf

It all started in the Niche Site Project 3.0 Facebook group owned by Spencer Haws. I was browsing through one day, as I often do, and came across a post from a guy who was looking to sell his website. I usually ignore those posts because they’re usually people trying to offload their crappy niche websites. But this one was different.

This guy already had his site listed on Flippa and just posted a link to the Flippa listing, within the group, along with a brief description. I checked out the site and I was intrigued! Long story short… I ended up purchasing the site and I completely rebuilt it from the ground up. Keep reading for the longer version of the story…

The short version is that I purchased NicheWolf.com and turned it into my own service-based website with some really valuable information and products for sale. I put a LOT of time and effort into the entire deal… But then the entire story took a turn that I wasn’t planning on or expecting. Read to the end to see what happened…

How I Used a [Mostly] Content Only Strategy to Grow a Brand New Site to 400+ Daily Visitors

September 5, 2016 by Matthew Allen 35 Comments

If you hate link building like I do and plan to use a content only strategy for your niche site – then this post is for you. Starting a brand new niche site on a brand new domain is definitely NOT a get-rich-quick plan. I should know. I’ve started plenty of them. But, if you want to build a long-term and reliable passive income producing website – you shouldn’t be thinking about getting rich quick anyway. Sure, we’re all in this for the money. But think of the fairy tale about the tortoise and the hare. Every single time I read the story – the tortoise wins!

This is the approach I’ve taken with the one main niche/authority site that I’ve been building out for over a year now. In past posts on this blog, I’ve referred to this site as ‘My ONE Thing’ site. In a post I wrote about a year ago – I declared that I was going to FOCUS on just ONE thing – and that ONE thing was going to be this particular niche website. My traffic and earnings for this site have continued to increase, slowly and steadily, as a result of deciding to stick with the long-term strategy.

Within this post – I’m going to show you how I’ve grown the site to an average of 400+ visitors (sessions) per day – and even as I write this post, that number continues to slowly increase! [Read more…]

Passive Income Ideas and Answers – Ask Matt – June 2016

June 15, 2016 by Matthew Allen 12 Comments

This is the very first post in what just might become a series of posts here on my Dumb Passive Income blog. People visit my blog for passive income ideas, answers to questions and some who just like to read my thoughts on certain topics. I am creating this post (and/or series) in an attempt to alleviate what I consider one of my biggest stumbling blocks. Call it a weakness – but the fact that I spend SO much time answering questions in private email or in social media groups is one of the biggest reasons that I haven’t been publishing very much content here on the blog.

It’s very difficult for me to ignore questions. And it’s even more difficult for me to produce short and to-the-point answers. I usually end up rambling on, which leads to a reply, and then another reply, and so on. This turns out to be a huge time-suck for me and usually doesn’t lead to more income. So, I’m trying something new. I’m going to save up questions and answer them publicly in published posts on the blog. I figure if one person has specific questions, others surely have the same (or similar) questions. Why not answer them publicly for the benefit of everybody who reads this blog?! [Read more…]

Getting Started with Amazon Niche Sites – How to Find Profitable Niches and Limitless Keywords

March 17, 2015 by Matthew Allen 33 Comments

Amazon niche sites. Everybody wants to build them. Everybody wants to have them. Why in the world are Amazon niche sites so popular? You hardly hear anybody ever talk about building Adsense niche sites anymore. Heck – when I started building niche sites, Adsense sites were THE thing. Very few people were talking about building Amazon sites. But now it’s the other way around. And it’s been that way for most of the last 2 years.

I think part of the reason for the popularity of Amazon niche sites is due to the plethora of successful case studies that people have shared throughout the community of internet marketing bloggers. People are more protective with their Adsense sites and less likely to share for fear of getting their Adsense account shut down by Google. But it’s totally acceptable, and even advantageous, to share a site with your Amazon links plastered all over it. It’s a good way to get more backlinks and even possibly generate more commissions. For example… [Read more…]

Niche Site at Night – Choosing a Niche (and More Keyword Research Explained)

August 20, 2014 by Matthew Allen 20 Comments

Well – I did it. I chose my niche and I’ve revealed it publicly within the video embedded below. There’s no turning back now. I’ve gone out on a limb. I’ve dipped my toes in the water. I’m in uncharted territory and the adventure is just beginning! I’m actually pretty excited about the niche that I’ve chosen. Excited for more reasons than one. I’m really excited about the possibilities that I could bring to life within a site built around this topic. It’s based on something I previously knew absolutely nothing about – but I can see myself becoming very passionate about. I’m actually looking forward to putting a lot of time into this niche site because I am eager to learn more about it and help others learn more about the topic too.

There are some things about this niche though that might seem a little off-the-wall, especially to experienced niche site builders who have been in the game for the past couple of years. As I dove into the keyword research and some of the other criteria I use to select a niche – I went a little bit against the grain as far as doing things the way many people have done them recently in the world of building niche sites.
