Blog is starting to take shape!
Ok so while I can't use the feedback form on Wealthy Affiliate to ask for feedback given my choice to move my site back to my own server, I can now now show it so if you have any comments or questions then please feel free to post them!
I used a theme from my favourite theme store, its a premium theme and I really love the layout. On the backend I have added about 30 pages which I turn into posts as I I do them, each of the pages are set in draft mode based on the keyword so I know exactly what I am going to write about ahead of time.
My method of writing is simple, I grab my keyword and place it into google, find a few articles that i like and do my best to improve them and update them with my own style. To help me I use a piece of software that looks at the original article and checks my own writing to work out how mine compares in terms of originality. This means I can write a 1000 word article in an hour or two. I can't write one every day due to time constraints. I work full time as a web developer and have clients I help out at home in the evenings so I do my best with Wealthy Affiliate.
I am probably getting ahead of myself in the training but i have added a subscription form to the website. To save money on my list I am running it through Amazon SES rather than the usual getresponse, Aweber etc. I stay away fro them because in my view they are grossly overpriced. I pay $1 for 10,000 emails sent..you can't beat that!
I haven't added an email sequence yet but that is on the cards in the next couple of days. I guess that once I have caught up on at least 7 to 8 posts I will then move onto the next part of the training as the site!

I would be cautious about re-writing articles, even if you use Copyscape to check them. Ideally, you want to start off with your own unique topics, if you need ideas, PM me and I'll give you a list I have of about 40.
I am not using an article rewriter or anything like that, i am adding my own style and observations to an article it doesn't even look the same by the time i am finished with it. I take a variety of sources and use them to create a new one with a new view on things. I hope that makes sense.
The topics I have selected are all topics are all pulled from my keyword research, I then do further research on them closer to writing date before creating new content from the sources i collect.
