Creating a site is easy, it's the updating and promotions that take up all the time.

 

Hey new best friend! Wink  I see it exactly the opposite--it's the creating the site that takes so much time/resources.

For the best info on niche sites I've seen anywhere, check out Pat Flynn's Niche Site Duel: http://www.smartpassiveincome......esiteduel/

 

There an example niche site that he created on there, too, and he's currently generating about $400-500/month with Google Adsense while doing virtually no more work on it.

Your site is a niche site. A niche is just a specific topic that you focus on. I would check out ProBlogger for more on reasons to target a niche.

He seems to be a pro at this and he has a great free ebook for you to read as well: http://easyextramoneyonline.com/blog/

The Financial Blogger has some good examples of a niche site. I think there was one about bamboo that he mentioned before but I can't remember the link. Also I think Sunil does niche sites as well.

 

They're basically content filled static webpages that are not updated like a blog. They serve a particular niche and from what I understand, the more well defined and desired the niche, the better. The purpose is to get search engine traffic and convert clicks.

 

I'm planning on working on one, once I have the time...

Since your life most likely won't slow down, I would suggest creating a niche site. If you want to develop it into a sports site, perhaps your niche should be directed toward that theme right away. Otherwise, you are sort of stuck later on.

I planned on focusing this new blog on sports, but wow two blogs, school, and work(in the summer) seems like a handful. I'm aware that niche sites don't take up that much time besides creating them. Should I create this site into a niche site?? The name is CouchJocks, so I could easily create it into a niche site for couch buying/choosing or I could stick with the whole sports related topic. What do you guys think?
