Keyword Crash Course Review

If you'd like to learm how to make money building niche blogs you might be interested to know that I started a Keyword Crash Course review blog. Since cancelling my membership at the Niche Blogger I wanted to setup a different website for the Keyword Academy because I didn't want to confuse people about which program I was currently working on.

I don't want to come across like the Niche Blogger is a complete waste of time and money--but it just wasn't the program for me. The two programs are made for different types of people. Deciding which program is right for you depends on where exactly you are in the learning process. The Niche Blogger is geared more for beginners while the Keyword Crash Course is targeting marketers who have a bit more experience.

The one problem I had with the Niche Blogger is that in the beginning I don't think Amy does a great job of teaching students how to choose profitable niches and keywords. An emphasis is placed on choosing a topic that you are semi-interested in and might not be too competitive. Her method for evaluating the strength of your competition also isn't something I would recommend teaching others as it doesn't work based on my experience with keywords.

However, if you're lucky enough to pick a good set of keywords in the beginning of the course there's no doubt her method will make you money as long as you stick with it. In fact, some of what she teaches about building links to your site is similar to what Mark and Court teach at the Keyword Academy. Unfortunately though, my first niche didn't hit a home run out of the park. So I quickly became frustrated and decided to move on.

Niche Blogger Review Continues--I'm Ranking in Google!

Image via CrunchBaseWell today I'm on Day 57 of the Niche Blogger membership course. With a lot of hard work and a little sweat, I'm finally beginning to rank on Google for keywords related to my first blog. I'm also ranking for some "accidental" keywords I hadn't even planned for!

No, I'm not ranking on the first page yet (but I'm pretty close for a couple of keywords). Keep in mind that Amy's course is not about getting on the first page of Google in less than 24 hours (and then getting sandboxed the next day). It's about building a high-quality blog that eventually will rank high on Google and stay there for months to come (while you work on another blog to build long-term passive income).

If you read some of my earlier posts, you know that I said that the pace was a little slow for those with IM experience. Well--things are really starting to pick up now near the end of Month Two! Since I work full-time I haven't been able to implement Amy's marketing and link building plan 100%. But with the progress I've made so far--I have little doubt that I'll be making some income soon.

The great thing about the Niche Blogger is that you can build your blog at your own pace. It's taken me a while to get this first one started, but each blog I build will get easier and easier.
