Business Day 3: Niche Research - Domain Registration
A very good evening to you all. Yesterday I set myself some goals for today, but despite only achieving one of them I’ve made some great progress.
My first goal was to complete my keyword research for the fear of flying niche. I completed this task and then exceeded it. After fully analysing the niche by using the method Amy Bass teaches brilliantly at The Niche Blogger, I decided that it IS a niche I could do well with. Read more
Business Day 2: Goals For Tomorrow
Firstly, for the UK readers: what the hell is someone like Daniel doing in the X Factor when talented singers like Laura are being sent home?! For everyone else, disregard that comment….
Tiredness has set in. I’ve been up for 20 hours after only having 2 hours sleep, and I’m struggling to function. So, it’s time to give in to my basic human requirements- SLEEP.
Firstly, I wanted to go over a few goals that I have set myself for tomorrow. Read more
What I Have Done So Far
Welcome to my blog. If you have read my about me page then you know why I’m writing. If you haven’t, then I recommend you do. Just click on ‘About Me’ at the top of the page.
It’s only fair that I let you all know where I’m at right now. I have been attempting this Internet marketing thing since last year some time (at least seriously anyway!). I have made some income, and am probably in profit by about £20 ($35-40). Not impressive - but I have spent cash, so it’s better than a loss, right?!?!
I have started various sites. Some do not exist anymore, but the first one I ever ‘produced’ was Internet Marketing Success. The site looks completely different to how it used to, and the content is much improved from the early days - but I still have made almost NO money from this site.
This was my first Internet marketing error. I tried to teach people how to make money online BEFORE I had the answers.
The ‘make money online‘ niche is incredibly competitive, and hard to break into - especially if you haven’t actually got the knowledge!!
I still update the site every now and then, but not regularly. I do not believe it’s possible to be amazingly successful in this niche until you have mastered it yourself.
A long period of time was actually spent developing Internet Marketing Success. If only I’d realised sooner I was wasting valuable time!
The second site I set up was this one - not this blog, but the main site. If you go there now you’ll see that I just use it to give away a product for free. But, previously it was a splash/lead capture page. Every guru tells you that you HAVE to build a list, and so I attempted to do so here.
Well, I managed to build a list of about 40 subscribers. They are still there too!
Thirdly - and after seriously considering quitting Internet marketing - I decided to write about something I was passionate about. Sport. CLDsport was born. I have ‘employed’ writers for the site to write some of the content, and have managed to gain a Google Page Rank of 2 for the site.
The main problem I have with this site, is keeping it updated. Sports fans are always searching for the very latest news - minutes after an incident. To keep this site fresh, and current, I’d have to quit my day job (which I cannot afford to do), or hire many more writers (which I cannot afford to do). The site is still promising though, and continues to gain traffic when updated.
Next came Self Improvement Basics. I found myself becoming more and more interested in self improvement (mainly due to my failure to find my fortune on the Internet!), and decided to attempt to build a site on the subject.
The site is very new, and still needs work, but could be a promising one - even though self improvement in itself is not a very highly searched phrase.
Finally, I’d previously purchased the domain name Recommended-Sites.co.uk and thought I’d better do something with it, and so I have installed a Wordpress blog and started to highlight some of my favourite sites. I can’t report successes or failures as I literally haven’t done much with it at all.
Oh, almost forgot, I set up ProNitroBlogger.com only yesterday. More about that tomorrow though.
That concludes the first part of my introduction. Tomorrow I aim to share with you all the memberships I belong to, and any products I have purchased that I truly believe are helping me.
Until then, good bye!
