Pickleball Strategy 101
Hii
I started with WA the beginning of June so I've been in the program for 2 1/2 months and am on level 4 of the OEC training.
The niche I chose is pickleball - pickleball strategy to be precise. Most people don't know this but pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in America. It is particularly popular with the 55+ community.
As of now I have a website with approximately 15 articles, a home page and an About Me page. Most of my posts have been in the 1200 to 1500 word range. I have a new post going up tomorrow, and I'm currently working on writing an "e-course" (an idea I picked up from a recent training video) to use as a give-away at some point in the future.
Developing the website has been a challenge. I am not very tech savvy. I wasn't happy with the original theme I was using courtesy of WA so hired someone from PPH to help me convert it to a new theme just yesterday. Although we haven't solved all the bugs - especially performance - I am very happy with it, and the cost was miniscule.
I did attempt to hire someone to write blog posts but couldn't find anyone whose writing met my standards so I'm writng all the articles myself...and loving it, although it takes up a tremendous amount of time.
I have signed up for a handful of affiliate sites and currently have a few blog posts with products that are linked to them. No revenues yet.
This week has been "social media week" for me. I now have up Google+, Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook. Not quite finished with the designs but getting there. In the past few chapters of the training I have been learning how to use these platforms and hope to get them in full gear within the next week or so. I didn't want to go full steam ahead with them until I had more content in my site.
The most important thing I have learned so far from being in the business for only 2 1/2 months is that you have to treat this as a real business, and although I am not successful by any means right now, I think it requires a full-time effort.
That's my goal for the next three months - just work the plan and do what I'm supposed to do, and we'll see what the future has to offer.

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for responding to my WA blog post. Sometimes it doesn't feel as if I'm doing all that good, but I keep plugging away. How long have you been at it? What stage are you at? I'd love to see your site.
