My Niche blog experiment and Passive Income reports
Long time no see my, friend!
A lot happened this month, I won't waste your time and jump right into it! ☄️
Niche blog experiment
I stumbled upon these YouTubers that manufacture niche blogs for profit. One of them is Adam Enfroy. After watching his free masterclass and a couple of other videos - haven't bought anything - I thought: let's give this a shot. I also subscribed to his newsletter where he shares blogs of people who followed his course. A great way to look for inspiration.
Given that I'm already "manufacturing" a different type of content - I wanted to give this a try. @natmiletic, @NicheDown, and @csaba_kissi were super helpful with all things SEO & blogging. They're pros in these domains! Thank you!
The goal is simple: let the site attract views by ranking higher on Google and providing high-quality content.
Because of this, I won't share the link to this site anywhere and let Google do its thing.
However, I'll post my numbers in these newsletters at the start of each month:
Passive income reports
Here's an exclusive thing that I'll be sharing detailed info about only in this newsletter.
I made an income report template that I'll be populating for the next year and see where it goes.
The idea is to list the income I made "passively". I put that into "" because there's no such thing as 0 work and 0 < income. I would define my passive income as an income that's not made based on my hourly rate.
For example, sponsored tweets take time to make but their price is based on how engaging my audience is and not based on my hourly rate.
Writings
For some reason, writing about my experiences works better for me than other types of posts. Last week I published my journey to becoming a web developer. It's not what you'd expect - a list post with all the tech & resources you have to learn to become something. It's my personal story of getting from absolute 0 to being confident in web development and landing a job.
Give it some 👍 if you liked it, so hopefully, it'll inspire more people:
