My Gardening Site is Under Construction.

I Had an Epiphany.

One of my websites has been struggling for some time now. I haven't added to it for over a year because I came to the conclusion it was a waste of time and not going to perform well.

Then today I had one of those bright light moments. Up to now I thought I needed to make money from this site. That became my sole aim.

Isnt that normal you ask...

No. I forgot Kyle's training. Always provide your potential readers with answers to the many questions that they ask when initially doing their Google search. Create a re pore with your readers first.

I completely lost track of how I should be constructing my website. Instead of creating a relationship with my readers first, I stacked it with product reviews.

But that's not the only Issue.

I created an account with Amazon. That's okay you say! I don't agree. The average commission I receive from Amazon is around 3%. That means that if I sell a spade for $30 I receive 90 cents, I would have to sell a lot of them to reach a sustainable income.

So today is the start of a new direction with my main niche website.

The first thing I did was to place my site in maintenance mode. Then I deleted all the review articles.

What will be my Next Steps?

I intend to revamp, improve and lengthen all my informative articles.

Once that is completed I will remove the maintenance code and reopen my gardening website .

Next I will create new, compelling blogs. Ones that the audience will want to read.

I won't monetize my blog again until I regularly receive over 100 visitors a week from each informative article. I don't care if this takes me over a year to achieve, I am determined to do it right

When I believe I have enough of a consistent audience visiting the sight I will be looking at ways to create an income from it, but I won't be selling gardening tools for 90 cents income.

PS. I'm giving Amazon the flick.

All The Best. Jim
