The Road So Far - 2 Months
I just completed 2 months here at WA and with my website, which means it's time for a blog post about how everything is going. ;)
Current Progress
I'm currently on Course 5, Lesson 6, which I believe is really good. I'm still learning a lot with everyone and all the courses, so it's still a very good experience.
I believe I have found a new niche to work on, but it's still not time for that. I want to keep focused on my board game website (http://www.boardgamereviewed.com/) and keep applying what I learn in here before moving on to something else.
My Website
I currently have 19 posts in my website, 10 more than last month. This is great as it's still more than 2 posts per week.
As I always do, here are some statistics:
- Unique Sessions: 257 (more than the double)
- Unique Users: 187 (almost 4 times than it was before)
- Page Views: 615 (not a big increase, but a increase)
- Traffic Originated from Google: 112 (more than direct traffic for the first time)
It's still nothing exceptional, but I'm amazed how good it's getting. I have to think that this is a very small niche and very hard to get into. So I think it's a big win.
If you have a minute, please check my website and share it with your friends on Twitter, Facebook, G+ and Pinterest, it'll be a great help: http://boardgamereviewed.com/

Great progress. We started less than a week after you. Site looks great. EZ flow, lots of info, holds your attention. Shows we still have a lot to learn. Rod and Troy
I'm only just finished course one... But after reviewing your website, it looks very impressive. All the principles to generating revenue from a niche website, which I'm sure I will be learning about soon, seem to be there. It was nice to get a preview of what I'm in for.
I wonder if some of the big name game companies will offer free games for you, in exchange for a review. This would help with your variety!
Thanks for your feedback. It's great to see that you're identifying what I'm applying there because it means two things:
1. I'm doing it right and
2. You're already on the right path.
I'm talking with a small company about a new product they will launch later this year to see if I can grab a copy to do a review before hand. Let's see how it goes. :)
I really like your page, it looks really professional. Browsing it I thought that a section dedicated to videogame, series and movie boardgames could be cool, I have a Zelda Monopoly and a GOT Risk and I love that kind of special editions of regular games, but it´s just an idea. Congratulations on your page!
Thanks Santiago, that's actually a great suggestion. I'll not do videogame because it's actually a different and very broad niche, but I'm starting to do board games that go mobile for example. Movie board games is something I can probably do. It's going to be really fun. Thanks for that! :)

Well done Marcelo! Also celebrated my 2nd month last Mar. 7 but I have much slower progress.
Looking forward to hear more from your successes.
Thanks!

Thanks Jojo.
Everyone has a different progress because we have different niches. Keep working hard and you'll also get there ;)
Thanks Marcelo!
