Trying Micro-Niches

by Carl on January 27, 2010

After looking for inspiration for my next project I’ve decided to go down a different route and try something new.

I found a type of product – a good seller with an affordable but high cost – and set out search for domain names for the product codes. I know people do this as GW Keyword tool tells me this… and I do it myself.

Guess what? Every single item was taken, both .co.uk and .org.uk, so I thought I’d see if I if the manufacturer had a mailing for new products when I found the 2010 models had just been announced.

I registered 13 domain names for the different product codes (Not covering all of them – about 30%). Some will perform better than others but it will be interesting to see how well they do as this is my first attempt at these type of sites.

The first of the sites is up already and took me about an hour to from registration to live – obviously the time will increase when I add the price comparison features but that will be universal to all the sites and it should be quite simple selling just the one product.

The products aren’t released until around March so I have plenty of time to fill the domains with content – hopefully they’ll be a success.
