Hi,
I'm a web dev of some years and have been looking to invest some money for my future as I don't have much of a pension. After thinking about real estate investments, I realised I know nothing about this. So thought I could use the analogy of buying old homes and doing them up for a profit with websites. After some experimenting with micro niches and monetizing websites, I have decided on my plan for the next couple of years.
I plan on building 4 authority sites (or at least damn good sites) over 4 niches. These are four things I'm interested in and also know other people interested in who I can get to do bits of writing for me.
I'm not the best at SEO and the niches I've chosen are admittedly quite saturated, but I'm hoping with quality and catchy content, I can make at least two of these sites successful within a couple of years.
As I'm not the best at SEO, I'm going to be looking to promote the sites in different ways - particularly through Social Media and paid ad campaigns. The goal is to build viral articles that I can seed on social media and will be shared well - which will in turn help build up my SEO presence.
A rough shortterm timescale is this:
Month 1:
- Set up 4-6 Twitter accounts for my blog niche and grow them manually with real targeted followers to 5k each
- Build the sites and seed some content
Month 2 & 3:
- Build Twitter accounts to > 10k
- Populate site content - 2 decent articles per day (so that means fresh content for sites every other day)
Month > 3
- Twitter accounts at 20k
- Increase article submissions (paid and contributions)
- Promote content through Twitter accounts + public forums / reddit etc.
- Monetize sites through Amazon + Adsense.
2 of the sites will be click bait type articles with no obvious amazon products but should do well with Adsense.
2 of the sites will be tailored to sell Amazon products.
Month 6
- Evaluate
I'll be posting on here in the hope that any old timers can help me along the way
Thanks
