I think one of the things I struggled with most when I first started here was finding a niche that was broad enough, but not too broad, and also one that interested me enough to actually stick to it. I have to admit, in the beginning I created a few websites that I never ended up doing anything with because I couldn't come up with enough content to keep building them out. I have about a dozen domains just sitting there waiting for me to be inspired. I recently became particularly intrigued by t

I remember when I was building up my first website and trying to decide between Affiliate Links or Adsense as a source of income. I wasn't really into selling WA then, because I was still waiting to see if it would work out for me. And of course, because the free siterubix website doesn't allow adsense, I started with affiliate links - selling other products that seemed to relate to my blog.

I'm sure I can do it, but anyway..."building a website" here is super basic and so much easier than everywhere else I've tried. (Not looking for suggestions just pointing

I have been pretty much "out sick" all year and unable to continue working on my websites, but I do still do some blogging and have left my websites up as something I hoped to get back to soon. This week I was having some financial stress and thinking I might get back to it, but I wasn't sure where to even start. I have been noticing I still get email subscriptions, although I haven't really been sending anything out. And I do still get tiny, random commissions on things, but not enough to real
