First the update on my blogs
Income for the last 7 days
Blog #1 – $3.74
That’s it!
But hey, it’s getting higher. I’m really quite disappointed in this blog, even though it is actually making a little money which is more than I can say for the other three. The other three are quite disappointing at the moment too but the reason I am so disappointed in this one is that this blog is ranking #2 on Google.
The main keyword phrase for this blog has 8100 searches every month and this is sitting at #2 and yet I’m only averaging around 20 visitors a day – WHY???? I have no idea why I’m not getting more traffic than that, you would think it would have more when it’s sitting at #2.
So here’s my slight change of plan and yes here I go moving on to something else once again instead of sticking to one project. I know it’s the biggest mistake that Internet Marketers make to keep moving from one to another without sticking to one thing long enough, I’ve very aware of the mistake and that I’m doing it again.
However, while I’ve been creating these smaller websites and I think I may have mentioned in previous posts that I prefer to build these up into bigger websites, I just felt that I wasn’t happy with what I was doing. I felt that I wanted more, that I wanted to be able to build a big site and I wanted to build a big site on a niche that I enjoyed writing about.
I’m sick of writing articles and blog posts on topics that don’t really interest me all that much and it makes it difficult to keep going with it when you have no interest in the topic. So I really struggled to come up with a niche that I would be happy writing about and one that I thought could be BIG!
But the other day I came up with the niche – I finally found the niche that I want to work with. I still didn’t realize then how big I wanted to go with this niche though until yesterday when someone on Warrior forum gave me a link to a video about SEO and also about building bigger sites. I watched the video which went for about an hour, and was really inspired with it. I thought about what I learned in this video and how I could use it for the niche that I found and I am now quite excited about created a ‘big’ site.
It’s true that it’s exciting because it’s a new idea and new ideas are always exciting, but this one involves something more, this niche is relating to something that I am doing physically in my own life at the moment so it is something that I could easily write about and share my own personal journey regarding this topic.

Above is the link to the seo video I watched, if you have an hour to spare then I do recommend watching it. She does promote her own SEO product course at the end of it which I can’t give any comments on as I didn’t purchase it, I am working purely on what I learned from watching her video (this is not an affiliate link for her product either, in fact I don’t even know if she has an affiliate program).
With my new strategies after watching this video I am looking at having at least 100 keyword phrases for this niche and in fact once I got started I got carried away and probably have around 300 keyword phrases at the moment. Her idea is to have three or four (or even up to ten) keyword phrases in one page, then you can rank and receive visitors for those three or four keyword phrases all with one page. Of course you will need to build backlinks using the different keyword phrases as anchor texts, which will all take time, but the ultimate goal is to be receiving traffic for lots of different keyword phrases and not just one long tail keyword phrase which is what the micro niche sites do.
So this will be blog #5 although I don’t expect to be able to give big results for a while as I know it will take time to build up this site, but I will keep you updated on what I’m doing.
I’m not giving up on my other blogs completely, they can sit and grow in age for a little while and I will get back to them at some stage.
