Timely post David. Last summer I decided to find out if I could build an audience around a specific niche subject that had passionate followers and lots of media products like books, videos, games, apps, etc. I chose media because I could monetize it via Amazon aff links and because of the changes underway in the conversion to digital media.

I’ve learned a few lessons along the way. One, it’s important to add value and not just copy/paste old content…hard work in other words—you still need a “voice”. Two, mix up original content with curated content whenever possible to differentiate yourself (I added interviews). Three, pay attention to metadata and analytics. Analytics is like an editor, it’s useful for providing feedback and future ideas.
