New Site, New Content, New Strategy
Hello everyone,
It's Been a Little While
It has been a little while since I wrote a blog about my 'success' online. Truthfully it has been a long process of niche selection, keyword research, forum searches, but I have my site up and running
Started On Friday The 13th!
I launched my new site on October 13, aka Friday The 13th! I did it as way to remember and also when it takes off it will have 'supernatural' traffic 'juice' lol.
Anyway I just wanted to give a few updates:
New Site
My site is centered around answering common questions within my niche ( I am waiting on giving out the site info) and sprinkling in 'recommendations' within the content. I am not making the site about products. I am centering the site around problem solving.
New Content
Through my research a big traffic generator; for my niche at least; is people asking questions. People want answers to questions with recommendations sprinkled throughout. Not the other way around.
My content is really detailed, answers the questions, but also is setting up for the next stage of the site.
New Strategy
This site also comes with a new strategy: Answer questions, gain trust/authority then introduce products/services that help answer the questions.
This will require reviews, comparisons, best ofs and more. However those articles are coming up in the near future.
New Content Creation Strategy
I have also decided to create 1 article a day through the Content Creator. After completing the article I also quickly 'fill in the topics' for the next article to be started the next day.
I have created 4 articles over 5 days using this method and it doesn't feel rushed.
Updates Will Be Regular
I plan to update this community on my site's progress once a week.
1st Update
My site is indexed within Google (Was on Page 1, now it's disappeared Google Sandbox).
I have 4 articles over 5 days.

Hi, CCRider77, Has anyone ever told you that you favor a young Henry Winkler aka The Fonz?
But, any way you seem to have a great plan in place. Please keep us informed of your progress. I for one am anxious to see what's in store.
Stay focused and be blessed.

Sounds like you have a good plan in place. I like the idea of answering questions first. Although I did specifically plan it that way I am pretty much doing the same thing.
Curious, do you have someplace that you are getting these question from? I have started looking into Quora for ideas.
I go to many places:
Google 'niche + forums'
Amazon 'niche product' reviews (people ask great questions)
Quora as well
Reddit
Social media
Great ideas for your new site.Would really like to know your site name ? It also would have given you a Link Back...i think
Good Luck with your launch
You might want to ask for comments here at WA It is one of the few places here at WA where we can share our external links.
Sounds like a good strategy to me.
Are questions submitted to you through your Constact Page?
How do you get people to ask questions?
Do you find questions on forums like here at WA and answer them on your website?
No I go to forums, Google, Amazon, Quota, Reddit and look for questions or problems people in my niche have.
I then plug the question (or keywords) into Jaaxy and see what pops up. (1 question get over 5k a month with 3 sites competing).
I then write an entire article based upon answering the question. I rely on the content to be the 'selling point' and not the products.
My theory on AF is that if you present solutions to problems people have through content first and 'sprinkle' in 'recommendations' second your site gains trust and authority as an 'answer site'.
An answer site becomes an authority site regardless of size or niche.
Again just my theory it could all blow up in my face, we'll have to wait and see what happens. Great questions.
Thanks for the explanation. I think you have a winner. I will incorporate a lot of your ideas into what I am doing. I'm following and lookforward to seeing your success.
