How to Build a Directory Website

This is a business model with a difference.
You don’t need 100s of visitors a day to make money.

That’s right – I said you don’t need 100s of visitors a day to make money.

“She’s gone mad” – I hear you cry. Of course you need lots of visitors. No You Don’t

If you run a local business directory site you AREN’T MAKING MONEY FROM YOUR VISITORS.

You’re making money from the people who advertise on your site.

In fact, you aren’t really interested in how many visitors the site gets.

You’re interested in how many local business websites are competing to get onto page 1 of Google.

Look at it this way:

  • Suppose there are 50 businesses in my city selling green slime.
  • They can’t all get on p1 of Google.

Suppose I run a listings site for sellers of green slime.
Q. How many visitors does it need?
A. Not many.

If only 20 people a day search for “my city green slime” and they all come to my site – and all the businesses on my site get at least one sale a month – they’re happy.

Happy customers from not many visitors. They all made sales. Sales they wouldn’t have made without your site.

The key to success with a local business listing site is NOT how many searches your keyword gets, but how many local businesses are competing for that keyword

I’ll say that again – the key to success is how many local businesses are competing for your target keyword (business type).

These are the guys who are going to pay for a slot on your listing site.

In this tutorial I show you how I find a niche, how I decide if it’s worth building a listing site, how to build the site and how to get those all important customers.

What’s in This Tutorial?

This tutorial focuses on teaching you how to identify a niche, how to decide if it is worth building a directory site around that niche, keyword research and then suggests how to find a suitable theme or plug-in.  The tutorial uses a WordPress based site as an example.  It recommends a premium theme, but also recommends that you do your own research into which theme or plug-in to use.

This is not a tutorial on how to use the theme.
