SO when starting out I decided that my niche was going to be online shopping tips, reviews etc. As I progress forward I am finding that I would really like to change tack a lit
I think that the shoppingsiren website would need to be left as it is BUT there would be no harm in starting another site to cover the other issues and that would allow you to write posts in each with links to the other.
Hope that make sense
I'm of the opinion that if it's going to make you worry and second guess yourself then you should probably go ahead and change it that way you put 100% of your attention into moving the website forward.
If it's just a passing thought type of thing I would probably just leave it the way it is.
It has been a passing thought that has been niggling at me for a few days now. Perhaps I will sit on it a bit longer. Thanks for your comment.
Hi Jodie!
You've got yourself quite a dilemma! Personally, I think the URL would tell me it's a shopping website. You're Premium, so you could create a new website for what, $13-$15, and take your time copying/moving things from theshoppingsiren to your new site, then add the things for healthy eating, beauty care, etc. If you've got a lot of stuff, you might consider a backup of your existing site and a restore to your new site
In fact, I just did that with some of my photography. I had started a "marketplace" that had mounted canvas prints, software products, t-shirts and some novelty football snack things. So one by one I'm moving them to their own niche website. Photography was first, the others will move as I have time.
Of course, the decision is yours. Hope this helps at least a little. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
All my best!

hmm that is what I thought, I must be honest and say I do not even know how to back my site up so I will start there and slowly move forward. Thank you.
Here's a link to some WA training on the back up that's built into WordPress. The Basics of WordPress - Part 1: Functionality Features
I'm in the same boat as you. My first niche website was too broad and wasn't moving in the right direction. So I decided to start up a new one. The beauty part is, I can always go back at a later date and revise the old one.
Yes, I struggle with time to write and I am not sure if I should start over. I am hoping the URL I already have is ok to use to go in this new direction. Thanks for your comment.

Should I start a new website or keep using the one I have?

So, I have just read a training about ranking from MudreM, it looked really good and I love the explanation of the traffic lights. My problem is that I am using all in one SEO
Yoast! Those red lights are so "in your face" that it's much harder to miss things. You feel more in control of quality. I particularly like the built-in readability analysis. When you install Yoast, you will be asked if you want to transfer your settings from AIO. Just say yes.
Personally YES! Yoast is better because it's much more helpful when writing your post so you know if it's ok to publish or not.
I have tried Yoast and went back to All in one, luckily I kept both at the time I was investigating. I wrote a 25 points checklist, it contains the 12 points of Yoast and 13 extra points and I am using that now for myself. Yoast was very enlighting in understanding the SEO usage. Checklist before you hit the publish button, 25 points!
Thank you so much for pointing me towards your training, I will be using this for sure from now on!

Hi, I bought my original site http://theshoppingsiren.com/ here through WA. I am however based in Australia and have really decided that I want an Australian domain name with .
It is possible from a technical standpoint. If you did buy the domain you would set the name servers to be WA's nameservers. Then you would go through a similar process as if you were transferring a free siterubix site to the domain. You would select the "move" button underneath "theshoppingsiren" domain and then select an existing domain at WA and then select the new domain. This video kind of explains what I'm talking about but in reference to a free siterubix website: How to Transfer a SiteRubix Website to Your Own Domain
Based on your question, I think you will be better off buying the .com.au from another domain seller. Go daddy has some very good prices. I haven't tried this myself but I think you can point your .com site to the .com.au once you own it. Perhaps a member who has done this before can help. Once you have bought it you will be able to transfer the domain to WA. Wish you the very best!
You only need a dot com dot au if your site is aimed at the local market. Also, you need to have a registered business (ABN etc) to qualify for the dot com dot au domain name. And you'd have to buy it from a different domain name registrar because WA only has dot com, dot org and dot info.
If you want to have an international website then stick with the dot com you've already bought.
Well I am so far locally based,concentrating on local stores etc. I have put that I am Australian based into my settings I guess anything else sounds like way too much bother. Thanks for your reply.
I agree with Marion about .au.
Not sure if the same applies to a city extension.
For example, workfromhome dot sydney is available for AU$119....lol . I think at this time only Sydney and Melbourne have the city extensions.
I went through the checkout without being asked for my ABN number, though I did not take the last step..
Business registration might only apply to .au extensions.
You can call them for more info:
This is the site I checked. They've been around for a while:
