PaidContent has an article on five ways to monetise a niche audience, illustrating this by looking at what Breaking Media has been doing, which has a “badly behaved but valuable audience of lawyers and bankers”.
The five headlines are as follows:
- To connect with a niche audience, don’t just write about them — be them
- data-mining your readers
- Low technological barriers mean content is king (again)
- Display is not dead
- It’s ok to mix verticals
It is well worth reading PaidContent’s article in full as it explains each point.
