Website vs. Blog Experiment
The last few experiments I’ve done have become oo stressful that I’ve had to stop them almost as soon as I started. My focus is on starting my own projects so I only have to work for myself and companies that I enjoy, instead of dealing with editors that stress me out. I am going to go back to website building. Instead of trying to sell a product this time, I’m going to use it as a place to put my written content and then monetize it with adsense. This is the old school approach which has never really worked for me in the past. However, I have bigger hopes for it this time simply because:
- I will be writing in a niche.
- I will be targeting medium payout keywords with low competition.
- I will use SEO.
- I will be marketing my site with articles placed on other sites.
- My articles will be at least 400 words each.
Hopefully all of these things will combine to be as successful if not more successful than my blogs. On my blogs I write things that are funny, and loosely base them on a niche. I like the format of a website because the content will evergreen and it will require less upkeep. This is the first time I will be putting all of my web writing experience together to work for me instead of someone else. In a way I’m already discouraged because I blog all the time and I still have to work for other companies. I’m hesitant to even start an experiment that I don’t fully believe in but I have to chase after that possibility. I wish that there were virtualization services that would make what I envision become my reality. This will be different and hopefully it will pay off.
