For a variety of reasons, niche blogging is an incredible business model. With the advent and exploding popularity of Wordpress, many people are flocking to become niche bloggers. I will admit it - I am one of them. One month ago, I decided to pay for a niche blogger course and have never looked back since. I would like to focus the whirlwind of my first days niche blogging for profit into a concise article that will hopefully encourage more people to get involved in this fast-paced business.
On Sept 1, I joined Amy Bass' brand new course "The Niche Blogger" which promised to have step by step directions that can be followed to build up a blogging empire. What convinced me to fork over $8.95 per month were two factors: (1) this was aimed at teaching someone with little internet marketing experience and (2) the ultimate goal was to build blogs that would earn passive income indefinitely, then move onto the the next niche with little need to keep updating previous sites. I had been following Amy from Day 1 as she has been building her passive income up to $5000+ per month.
I delved in, and soon became officially addicted. Every day before work, I would login, check the post, and keep it in the back of my mind while I was at my workplace for the day. When I came home from work, I would re-read the day's lesson and then get to work. I would spend lots of time at my computer following Amy's tweaks (from installing wordpress, to configuring little details that make all the difference to overall traffic and progress). The nights would fly by, though at first little actual work was visible on my site.
I followed Amy's detailed advice as I picked a niche and researched it to ensure it wasn't too competitive, and that it was profitable. With excitement, I registered a domain and paid for hosting. I installed wordpress and configured it - all with advice from the detailed lessons in the Niche Blogger course. Once I had my site setup and configured, I started to become proud of my little creation. I decided to track my niche blogger progress on Squidoo for all to see.
About 3 weeks in, with trepidation I wrote, edited, and posted my first blog post! Boy, did I ever feel inspired. From that day on, my blog has been steadily growing. The end of the first month was focussed on pumping out the blog posts and scheduling them for delayed publishing to let the site grow by 2 to 3 entries per week. My first month is almost up, and I should have the first 50 posts written and setup to publish over the next 5 months!
I have reached some considerable milestones. I am already indexed in google, have some good ranking keywords, and am seeing steadily increasing traffic to my first wordpress blog. Amy says the second month of daily teaching lessons is focussed on marketing the blog and driving traffic to it! I am pumped to dominate my first niche. Then it is finish, rinse, and repeat! If you would like more information on how to start niche blogging, I invite you to visit http://www.squidoo.com/thenicheblogger/ today. Watch and learn how I will make $5 to $10 per day by the end of the second month! |
