a single source, nothing corroborates it
Mine a funded publisher's categories for your niche
A niche publisher that has just raised money has already done the market research, and its category list reads as a forecast of the searches about to exist. Treat each category as a candidate standalone site. Where a site publishes its own pageview counter, paying a developer around a hundred dollars to scrape it hands you the whole archive ranked by popularity.
The method
- 01
Read the category list of a freshly funded niche publisher as a forecast of the searches about to exist.
- 02
Pay a developer to scrape a site that publishes its own pageview counter, and you have its entire history ranked by popularity.
What it returned
- $1.25m
UploadVR raised over $1.25m seven months into its first year, and Glen Allsopp treats each of its categories, from Google Cardboard to VR advertising, DIY VR, VR cameras and VR jobs, as a standalone site.
- $100
UploadVR shows a pageview count on every article, and Glen Allsopp puts the job at around $100 to a programmer hired on Upwork.
