I dig the idea of reviewing other sites…pointing out successful aspects of others sites that are out there doing it right now. Rock on! You’re 100% right that you can monetize any niche. People are often scared to tackle smaller niches, but they’re opportunities not to be overlooked!

I think that looks great, Michelle! It seems like you’re the perfect person to be running a site like LFAD. Now, did you have a lot of bracelets made, and you package and send them to people, or when people order one, does it essentially work like an affiliate link and the manufacturer sends them, while you get a slice of the money?

hi Grady,

Thanks for your comment :) Yes, I custom order about 300 bracelets at a time and package them and mail them all myself. :)

LovingFromADistance.com is truly a model that works. As a graphic designer, I love the art work site as well. Congrats to Michelle, and thanks to Lisa for highlighting her success.

What a fun way to bring others to the forefront, awesome idea Lisa.

Michelle you have truly built something amazing. With so many relationships dealing distance be it due to work, war or other you are definitely filling the gap and helping many cope and thrive in such situations. Bravo:)

Great job Michelle! You clearly demonstrate that a finely targeted niche is a fantastic way to go. Now let us know when you get to $10,000 a month. :-)

Unique and great idea for a niche by her. I agree. Awesome points Lisa. It helps to have a narrow niche. It is great that she has more than just content filled on her site. Giving your website a feel that is helpful to your readers keeps them coming back. They may also link to your website. Great website and good points Lisa.

I did all the titles for the pages and side banners. The background and menu and all of that I paid someone to do. It only cost me $125 and it’s a unique design custom made for me. I spent probably a week emailing the designer tweaking things just the way I wanted it. He did a great job and he really worked with me to get everything right. If you would like to know who did the design just email me.

Lisa thanks so much for doing this review, I also have a relationship website for Christian singles and I have learnt some tips that I can implement into my own website.

My website is less than two months old and I had 64 unique visitors yesterday might not seem like much to you guys gettig thousands of visitors a day but its enough to give me the encouragement I need to keep going.

And its all thanks to you Lisa, I’ve been following all your advice I can see results already.

Lisa, one more thing about this website – it’s just BEAUTIFUL. It’s not the most important thing, but it adds a lot.

Lisa,

Thank you for being such a wonderful & thoughtful person! I really admire how you are will to share and help everyone who “wants to be helped and look for advice!”

Thank you for featuring “Lovingfromadistance.com”. I have been reading and reading and reading and brainstorming and brainstorming and finally I have narrowed down my topics for my up coming blog(s). I may have to narrow it down a little more to a “niche of a niche” but I am far along from where I started….”all over the place!”

You really do inspire me….. Thank you & GOD BLESS YOU!!!
