Theme Website: Weightloss

Themed based websites are a fantastic way to make a tidy profit each month. They’re easy to set up, straight forward to maintain, and they can be quite fun. When it comes to universal topics to create a website about, you can’t go wrong with weight loss. It’s a common thread amongst people all around the world.  

Creating Your Website 

The first step to setting up a theme based website to make money is to choose your domain name, register it and create your website. Let’s take a look at each step for maximum results and profits. 

Choosing Your Domain Name 

Your domain name is what people will type in when they’re visiting your website. However, it’s also what they’ll see when they do a basic search engine search. For that reason, it’s important to try to get some keywords into your domain name.  

For example, Weightlosswonders.com, easyweightloss.com, weighlossforeveryone.com. However, there are a few rules of thumb when choosing a domain name. 

Easy to spell.

Easy to remember.

Easy to type. (No extra characters, numbers or underscores if at all possible.)

Shoot for a .com; they’re still the most memorable. 

You can use keyword research to help you come up with a domain name, you can brainstorm ideas or you can combine both strategies. Once you’ve found a domain name you like and it’s available, register it so someone else doesn’t grab it.  

Creating Your Website 

There are many directions you can go with your theme based website. You can create a blog. Many blog templates can be set up to look like traditional websites. You can also create a traditional website using any number of software programs and languages.

Note: You can hire someone to do it for you as well, however that can cost more than you may be willing to spend. 

Finally, you can use a system like SiteSell or a website builder. These systems work extremely well whether you’re a beginner or an advanced professional. They’re set up to help theme based website owners both drive traffic and drive profits. And they’re easy to use. 

Niche Weight Loss Themes 

Now the key to success online, and off, is to have a unique approach to your topic. Weight loss in general is pretty vague and there’s a lot of room for competition. In order to perform well on the search engines and drive traffic you want your website to offer unique value to visitors. That means choosing a niche. 

A niche is essentially a sub-category or a tight market within a larger market. For example: 

Weight loss supplements

Weight loss for children and teenagers

Weight loss for pets

Weight loss technology

Weight loss clothing

Shoes for weight loss

Weight loss activities and exercises

Weight loss support

Weight loss for life

Post pregnancy weight loss

Weight loss over 40  

The list could go on and on. There’s really a lot of potential here. Choose a niche that you feel you can write on or discuss regularly and comfortably. And use keyword tools and other market research tools to ensure there’s a good demand, and low supply, for your topic. 

Weight Loss Content Ideas

Because a theme based site attracts visitors and profits based on the content on the site, it’s important to create a content strategy. Your strategy needs to first and foremost offer value to your visitors. Second, you’ll want to make sure it attracts the search engines so you can climb the ranking and eventually be the first site someone sees when they search for your information.

Content can include but is not limited to: 

Articles and/or blog posts

Reviews

Tip sheets

Lists

How to information

Fact sheets

Question and answer

Ecourses

Interviews

Video content

Audio content

Reports

Blueprints

Ebooks

Mindmaps 

Depending on your specific niche topic, the list can go on and on. Use your imagination and pay attention to what your visitors like. Create a content strategy that includes adding regular content to your website. 

Monetizing Your Theme Based Site 

Finally, you probably want your weight loss website to make money, right? After all, that’s the reason you’re creating it. There are actually several ways to accomplish this and they’re quite simple. 

PPC Advertising Programs – You can publish PPC advertisements on your website, like Google’s AdSense, and make money each time someone clicks on an advertisement. It’s pretty simple to set up and you can choose where the advertisements are placed.  

Affiliate Commissions – Another way to profit on your theme based website is to promote affiliate products. For example, you could promote weight loss cook books, a diet coaching program, dietary supplements or even exercise equipment. Each time someone clicks on an affiliate link on your site and makes a purchase, you earn a commission. 

Advertising – You can also charge for advertisement space on your website. When you have a lot of website traffic, people will pay good money to advertise on your website.  

Information Products – Finally, you can also profit from selling information products on your theme based website. Maybe you see there’s not much information on weight loss for pets so you write an ebook. You can sell it on your website for 100% of the profits.  

The truly remarkable benefit of creating a weight loss website is that much of your content will be evergreen. People are always wanting to lose weight and much of the information about how to accomplish it stays the same. Find your niche, create your site, add content and start profiting. 

To your success!
