Adding a few pagesMy last post on my Niche Site experience was almost 3 months ago. A lot has happened since then not relating to the Niche Site.

As many of you know, my wife gave birth to our first child, we ran a successful Kickstarter campaign, and printed our first comic book.

In other words, we have been insanely busy.

This is why I hope to master niche sites. The opportunity to work on my art and spend time with my family with out worrying about money would be a dream come true. That is why I am trying to make this work and build a passive income portfolio.

Make sure you know why you want to make passive income through Niche Sites. It makes the long hours and lonely nights more bearable.

We are still puttering along with the niche site and the back linking strategy.  To be honest, I will be glad when it is all over.  I guess this is why everyone says choose something you love.  While I don’t mind doing articles on pregnancy and pregnant woman’s health, it is hard for me to get excited about it.

The only thing keeping me working on this niche site is:

  • I want to see if the strategies for niche sites work.
  • I enjoy learning about putting up niche sites.
  • I feel that my Jason Loves Life readers (you) hold me accountable to see this through to the end.

Find out “What’s my Ranking”

I did a search on YouTube fore “How to find google keyword ranking” and who’s video should appear?  That’s right, Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income (the dude really is everywhere).

I have Market Samurai, so I am using that software to figure it out.

Here is the video:

Still working on Back linking

It has been a rough week trying to figure out the marketing for our niche site.  There is a lot of information and I spent more time watching videos and reading articles then I really should have.  There is a lot of information out there and a lot of people contradicting each other.

I have decided to stick with system Pat Flynn talks about in his www.thebacklinkingstrategythatworks.com article, but with some adjustments.

My back linking strategy is to create original articles; spin those articles; and submit the spin versions to article directors, use some on Web 2.0 properties, and blog sites with all of those articles having links to my niche site.  Then I have to link to these spun articles through article submission software and using social bookmarking.

From Jason and Jeremy’s article on Internet Business Mastery (http://internetbusinessmastery.com/a-quick-start-guide-to-attracting-search-traffic) I tried to diversify the “words” that contain my link to my site.

They suggest:

This week we have put in our full 14 hours. Our time went into confirming a choice for our niche site topic, finding a domain name, choosing a theme for the wordpress site, and creating a logo.

Image of computer with wordpress site designThese are all important things that needed to be done, but it feels like we should have a finished the site by now.  A few choices we have made during this process has caused us to take longer than need be.  Those are:

  • We decided before starting our search that we wanted to do a pregnancy related site.  If we just made a list of our interests/hobbies and looked for profitable niches related to them, it would have been a lot easier and faster.
  • We are very picky on web design.  With niche site, especially at the beginning, the look of the site is not as important.  Using almost any of the free WordPress site themes would work as long as they are not too visually busy and easy to navigate.
  • We decided to change the main domain which added an extra hour or two (I explain this in the time breakdown section).
