There are 90,500 monthly searches for "kerosene heater". And 1000+ for multiple long tails.


Update: now #1 on G for the main keyword

The unlimited article submissions are $67 a month, the best spinner is $77 a year, and reseller hosting is around $25 a month (all these prices are subject to my memory at the time of writing).


But this is a minimum online business investment scenario I think (you are very likely to spend more on courses, and other tools), but it gives you an idea for a possible budget.

I think if these sites can average $25 per month, it's a success. With 100 micro-niche sites @ $25, you're making $2500 a month. Seems like the cost is $60 per site. So, that's less than 3x revenue.


If you outsource the content creation and do the keyword research and write the article titles yourself, you should be able to scale the project.

The cost of the sites per month is: (numberOfSites x $10 + $77) / 12 + $67 + $25

For 100 sites it works out as: $181.75 / month

So if they made $2500 a month, the ROI is: 2500 / 181.75 = 13x

For 10 sites, the cost is $106.75 / month

So if they made $250 a month, the ROI is: 250 / 106.75 = 2.3x

The EMD micro-niche sites with low competition tend to hold their positions well. So, once you rank the site you shouldn't have to spend on link building.

A site ranking #1 for 1000 monthly searches will get more traffic than sites ranking on the bottom of the 1st page 10,000 monthly searches. This is the power of the micro-niche. But, it will depend mostly on your research on whether you are able to make a profit.
