Shoemoney System Review & Overview

Thursday 18th March 2010

Once again my plans have been temporarily put on hold as I throw myself into a HUGE information site that I’ve been avoiding doing the past year. But the inspiration has finally bit and so I’ve been striking while the iron is hot.

Not that the site is huge in the true sense — about 250 to 280 pages of very unique content. The trouble is that it’s so unique and specialized that I basically have to write all 250+ pages myself. There’s simply very few people out there who can do it for me.

The last time I did a similar site — size and content wise — was around a year ago and it essentially burned me out! Not only that, a week after I launched it someone else had launched their own site on the same topic, which effectively halved my traffic — and this after a decade or so of basically NOTHING on the subject!

However, having said that, the site is bringing in over $150 consistently each month. Not too shabby for a micro-niche site.

This new one I’m doing is essentially in the same boat — absolutely no other websites on the subject at all. There’s the odd page here and there, but no authoritative website dedicated entirely on the subject. What’s encouraging about it though is that there are a lot more products than the site I did last year. Plus there are a lot of search engine queries for it (well, a lot for a micro-niche anyway). When I launch the site later this year I fully expect it to be bringing in around $300 or so every month. And I won’t really have to worry about Google’s “sandbox effect” because there’s no other sites out there dealing with the same content. Brilliant!

Actually, I should add that I’ve already pulled it out of “non-Google stasis” so that it can start getting indexed as I add the content to it. Previously it’s been blocking all search engines while I’ve been working on the site templates. By the time of it’s “official launch” it will already have many pages indexed and bringing in the crowd. I figure the launch will be in about 3 or 4 weeks — depending on how quickly I become burned out again.

Needless to say my other web projects will suffer a bit. My updates etc. won’t be as frequent. I’ll try to continue to post updates here whenever possible though. Even if it’s just a few sentences!

So, until next time!
