Niche Blogging Update and Finally A Good Update

The other day I mentioned that I had a change of strategy and wanted to work on a bigger site and targeting more keywords than just one main keyword phrase.  I chose a niche that I can relate to well and really interests me and one that I will enjoy writing about and so came the birth of blog #5.

Over the last couple of days I have added 6 pages (including a contact page and privacy policy page) and 5 blog posts.  I have enjoyed writing these pages and posts and hopefully will keep enjoying it.

I’ve planned my pages so that they have three or four keyword phrases on them.  I have a notebook where I’m keeping one page for each page of keywords that I add to my site, then I will record each time I create a backlink or an inbound link to those pages and for those particular keywords.

Niche Blogging Update And A Slight Change Of Plan

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.

Back To The Basics With Niche Blogging

I have talked a bit about niche blogging and my own niche blogging journey but I haven’t really talked much about niche blogging in general and how it’s done.  So this blog post is just going to go back and cover the basics of starting a niche blog.

It doesn’t take long to set up a blog, once you have chosen your niche, done your keyword research and chosen a domain name.

Choosing A Niche

Everyone has a different criteria on choosing a niche, some Internet Marketers will tell you to go with a topic that you are passionate about and others will tell you not to bother about that and just find a niche that is going to be profitable.

Niche Blogging Update

Once again I don’t really have too much to update about.  Earnings for the last 7 days are very low still:

Blog #1 – $0.68

Blog #4 – $0.54

So as you can see no big income coming in as yet.  I haven’t done much over the last week though due to sick kids and now that they are all better and back at school they have given me their cold so I feel terrible and am not getting much done at all.

Niche Blogging Update

Not much to share again on the income update.  Over the last 7 days I’ve made $1.16 from Blog #1 and 10c from Blog #3, so no big numbers there but that is ok.

I know this is going so much slower than planned and I have no-one to blame for that but myself.  I spend too much time doing silly little things and not enough time concentrating on building up my blogs.

This week I am still working on Blog #4 – I think I mentioned this one a couple of days ago.  I have written and posted two blog posts over the last couple of days and written two more articles.  I will post these two over the next couple of days.  I am going to write six more articles and post on the blog a day apart.

Getting Their Slowly With My Niche Blogging, Perhaps I Need To Outsource

Yesterday I planned to give blog #1 a rest for a couple of days and concentrate on blog #2.  However, I got caught up doing a bit tidy up of my hosting accounts.  You see I have my basic hosting account at Hostgator and I also have a reseller account at Hostgator.  But I don’t use the reseller account as much as I use to and I still had a heap of sites taking up space on there that weren’t even hosted there anymore (didn’t have nameservers pointing to my hosting anymore).

So yesterday I decided to go through and check which websites could be deleted and deleted them all.  What I thought would be a reasonably quick job ended up taking me almost all day.  It’s all done now though other than a couple of sites that are my own that I need to backup and transfer to other hosting, then I will be able to close my reseller account and have a normal hosting account for them.  That should save me $25 a month!
