4th of July
That's when I started my busines of publishing on the web. I want to do niche pages and I have so much to learn. First I need to know what niche encompasses. I've learned it can mean to just pick a subject and stick with it or it can mean to pick an object and stay with that. It means basicly to "specialize".
So what will I specialize in. My first business has turned out almost accidentally to be web traffic. I fell into that one and now have the web site set up...the pages run so well, but still I have had no traffic. How can I sell traffic, if I can't get traffic? Oh the irony!Now I have over 2,500 email addresses and I can't seem to sell those on the YMauction at a give away price. I have read that opt in email lists are passe. (YMauction might be passe as well. I should try eBay next time.)
Oh well. I have joined up with an autoresponder service. If the addresses don't sell on the auction, I will use them myself. I will have an instant 2,500 person email list! Now that is a terrifying thought. What will I say to them? The thought of communicating with that many people terrifies me. I know it's only one by one, but still....
So that's how I spent my July 4th... pondering these deep thoughts....Since then I have continued to read, read, read. I want to author a free ebook to help promote SwitchIsp. I love that business and will work to make it a go.
I have published two "niche" pages out there on the web. These are my first experiments. One is ID Theft This is a niche page to show my research about ID theft and how it can be prevented by using the StealthSurfer. I think it's a pretty good article. It's my best attempt so far to make from scratch a Google friendly page. I whipped it up in yellow and blue, but then I read a report from James Jones which recommends making the pages plain and making the ads completely white so only the Adsense links stand out on it. So, now I will not argue with success and will need to redo that page. I'll let you know how successful I am following James' recommendations.
My other niche page is Business Opportunity That one is promoting a directory that's part of a business being developed by some friends. It will have to be redone too. I liked it in blue (sigh) If you are a promoter or list manager, you will definitely want to go see these guys prelaunch page at Zurdu There's no google on them ;-)
That about catches this blog up to date. Gotta go back to reading about making my first ebook. Please don't tell me they are passe too! I will take that chance. The auction ends July 16 and not a single bid yet. I just might end it early and take back my leads for myown private list. They all say the gold is in the list. We shall see about that!
