niche building tycoon

I said yesterday i’d built another site, this time to raise funds for my charity skydive contest. The site is defenced.com and i’m also re-directing defence.net to it. I outsourced the content (10 x 200 word articles), but the rest i did myself including background styling and the logo, plus all the images and categories/tags etc…

It looks good i have to say and it should sell for ~$150 as the domain name is pretty solid too. The past couple of weeks, i’ve really been pushing hard to churn out niche sites one by one. Here’s just a few i’ve made;

• managefuel.com
• yesnoblog.com
• chromeguide.com
• closelyguarded.com
• famousnerd.com
• defenced.com

Whilst i do find it pretty easy to build these sites, it still takes time and effort and that all important will power. You really have to be aggressive when building these type of sites and not stop until you are happy. There’s no secrets, no one click software that can do it all for you - you have to work to get the job done.

I’d value those sites above at a combined $1k. In total they’ve probably cost me about ~$100 to build. So the profit is there for the taking and this is definitely something i could do full time if i wanted to. So why don’t i then? Well, i don’t like to think of this as a job. I don’t like the word ‘full time’ either.

The reality is i do work full time online… in fact, i probably work 50/60 hours a week. Because i still view all of this as a hobby, i really don’t find the time passing, in fact i want to work more and harder. Once i start to see serious returns on some of my sites (it’ll be while yet, probably not until next year), that will only encourage me to put even more effort in.

Work doesn’t scare me, but when YOU call it work, it does.
