Niche Site Report – September 2022

Well September flew by and honestly I had great momentum at the start of the month but my progress ended with more of a whimper than a bang this month. However, I do have good starting positions on a couple of the sites and I feel recharged to get on a better content schedule to put some numbers on the board for October.

General Site Information

  • All Sites are running on WordPress
  • I am not currently running any premium themes but I am using the free versions of GeneratePress, OceanWP, and Astra. Since I’m still rather new to WordPress in general I wanted to get a feel for a couple of different themes as I assume as time goes on I will start to favor certain themes.

Other News

So I fell into a slight deep dive into Medium.com about mid-month and for some reason decided to start writing on that platform as well. I don’t think this is something that I will continue in the long term but I have enjoyed connecting with other Niche Site builders and reading about their journeys. However, every minute spent on that site takes away from my core objective of building up niche sites so I’m adding Medium back to the back burner for October and pushing forward on content as that is what my sites need most right now.

Niche Site Report – August 2022

Month Overview

Well this month was the official start of the whole “becoming a Niche Site builder” phase in my life. I created this particular site (dorkwriter.com) as sort of a personal journal/Niche Site Reference/Accountability tracker and so far I’m happy with the way it has progressed (although more content would have always been better). I’m slowly learning all about the wonders of WordPress and themes in general but still feel i’m at the start of this learning curve.

Work Completed This Month

I have scratched out a rough draft of how I want each site to work and am currently working on building some form of templates so that I can hammer out content quickly as I’m not really a big fan of drafts. My ideal workflow is Grab a template -> Populate template with awesome content -> Publish. Draft posts are lame.

Niche Site Wins

Any Wins I want to remember or notable site updates (accepted to an ad network, etc…)

Niche Site Losses

Any Losses I don’t want to forget or any site related updates (rejected from an ad network, etc…).
