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

Image representing Google as depicted in Crunc...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.

Niche Blogger Review--Month Two

I know I haven't posted to this blog in a while, but the truth is, I've been busy learning Amy's Niche Blogging system. This girl has me working really hard but I know eventually all this hard work is going to pay off!

What I really love about this membership is that everything is completely hands on. A lot of ebooks I've read are full of ideas and theories but no action plans. This course is 100% full of "do this and do that."

Amy has explained that her "Top 20" blogs make her a passive income of $5000/month. All together she has put 40 blogs on the Internet. She says that not all her blogs are successful. Luckily Amy explains all her successes and failures throughout the course so even though it took her more than a year to build her empire, someone following her system exactly could do it in less time.

Yes, this takes work. But the beauty of The Niche Blogger, is that once the work is done, you can move onto another blog. This is passive income. It may all sound strange to you, but it will all make sense once you take a peek inside the Niche Blogger. This is not complicated at all. In fact, I was surprised to learn how simple it really is.

In Month Two, we get down to the nitty-gritty of monetizing and marketing our blogs. No, I haven't made any money yet. I knew it would take a while to learn the blueprint (I signed up for the monthly membership). That's why when I wrote my goals I aimed to be making $10/month by the end of November, not October. ;-)

I work full time--so I'm not moving forward as quickly as others in the course (there are already success stories being posted in the forum). But you can follow the blueprint at your own pace. Some people are working on several blogs at one time, but I prefer to do one blog at a time.

I know October is going to be a busy month for me, but I haven't gotten tired of this yet. Which is really saying a lot for what Amy is teaching. Any other report, ebook, or membership and by now I'd already be scanning the WSO of the Warrior Forum looking for something new.

In fact, since I signed up for Amy's Niche Blogging membership, I haven't visited the WSO forum once. I think that's saying a lot. :-)

If you have any questions about the Niche Blogger I'd be happy to answer them. Just post them in the comments section below.

The Niche Blogger Review--What to Expect



If you consider yourself an "experienced" internet marketer you might consider the pace of The Niche Blogger to be a little slow. Of course, depending on when you sign-up, you'll probably be able to go through the content faster than if you signed up at the beginning.

Today is Day 15--and we're now learning how to update and change our Wordpress theme based on Amy's recommendations. I personally like the slow pace, because it allows me to get back to basics and to look at blogging from a fresh prespective. I also now know how to set things up properly in the Wordpress admin panel.

Everyday Amy updates the blog with two "assignments" for you to complete. You can take as much time as you want and move onto the next day only when you're ready.

To keep things fair for both old and new members, Amy is going to build a new blog for each month of membership. After you're a member for 30 days, you'll receive a link to the "Month 2 Blog". That way--people who sign-up three or four months from now will only have access to the first month's of content--making it fair for those of us who have been paying from the beginning.

Amy explains it this way:

I know what you are probably thinking. I signed up at the beginning and if she keeps adding to the blog someone who signs up 6 months from now will have access to all the back content their first month. That is not fair.Well, you are totally right. I am going to set it up so the main blog only has the first month's content. I will be making a different blog on this domain in a special location for each month. As you hit month 2 you will get an email with the location of the month 2 blog and so on. So when someone joins they will have month 1 while you have the month you are on. Does that make sense? I want to make it fair.

I think this should work out just fine. As you can see, Amy is a top-notch professional. If you're even slightly on the fence about trying this out, post your questions below. I know Amy is planning on raising the price soon (really!) so now is the time to join.
