  CPA, better known as Cost Per Action.   There is a cost for a visitor taking a specific action, and if you can cause them to initiate this action, then you get paid for it.

  Have you ever wanted to write a book before? Feel like it’s daunting? While it may have seemed daunting, the online marketplace has made this dream a reality through Kindle.

  They say that you can go wide or you can go deep. The problem with going wide is that you are trying to focus on too many different things and hoping that the right people find you. When you go deep, you are really niche-ing it out. Just as the name implies, a niche is a particular area. Instead of a broad general topic, you would be choosing one specific topic and focusing your website around that. A niche website can be a few pages or can even be several hundred pages. An example of a niche website would be “Beginners Tennis For Elementary Age Children.”   Instead of focusing on Tennis, you are focusing specifically on children who are beginners. Who is this ideal for: This is ideal for an individual who has a very specific interest in a very broad area.   Just as in our example above, if someone enjoys tennis, but would rather focus on teaching beginners or even kids who are beginners, then a niche would work out well. This is also ideal if you enjoy speaking, writing or teaching
