Well, I've decided to enter the Forex niche. I was doing some research over the past days and realized the niche is very very lucrative. I figured even if I get minimal traffic, with the value of adsense clicks alone, I could do fairly well.
I picked out a domain name and now I'll get going on a site. My plan is to use
PLR articles and adsense in addition to promoting Clickbank products. That's pretty typical, but I have a video created to promote a specific CB product that has a gravity through going the roof…

The first websites I ever built were created with
XSitePro web design software v1.0. I purchased the software on the recommendation of many other marketers, most of whom said it was super easy to use right out of the box.

As an update, I did finish creating the 6 niche blogs I wrote about earlier and am now promoting them. I submitted the RSS feeds to about 40 aggregators and have done a little social bookmarking. Each has an article in the pipeline to be published on numerous article directiories. So…

I just successfully completed the transition of a static website to a wordpress blog. That wording sounds kind of awkward so I'll try again. I just took one of the sites I originally created in XSitePro and turned it into a wordpress blog, keeping the page urls consistent in the process. I'm thrilled. I've been wanting to do this for quite awhile but have felt anxious about it, not wanting to screw the whole thing up in the process.
There are a couple reasons that I wanted to do this. I find wordpress to be much easier to add content to. …
