Blog.Azwan

The last 5 months (since that post) were very taxing for me. There were so much things to do, but so little time. If you have been wondering where have I been until I didn’t have the time to update this blog and also my kids blog (see RSS feed on sidebar), I was busy with my niche blogs.

Hosting
I had to decide whether to stay with the the old hosting company or move. I had to re-organized and re-group similar blogs together. The ones that have been receiving more traffic from US are moved to a US server. The ones that are still in infancy stage are group together while the one that are already making money need attention to grow.

Seems like there are many blogs involve, but there’s only a few actually

New Domain
There’s also a domain that needed a new name. After a while, a personal blog tends to head towards a specific niche. So in order for it to grow further, I decided that it needed a new domain name. Hence Comics & Games dot com. That way, if in the future I decide to sell it, it will be much easier. This took a while, as planning is quite crucial. Maybe I’ll do a post of domain migration later.

The niche may not be as profitable as Cyza’s Chemical Engineering, but as long as I can maintain the traffic, it will do just fine as I am blogging about what I like. And in October 2009, after marketing related affiliate products on that blog, I got my first affiliate commission from Commission Junction. Although a small amount, but it is a start.

Most of my time was spent on this particular blog and it was fruitful. Alexa rank has gone up. Traffic has doubled and Page Rank is now 2.

If you look at the statistics of the most viewed posts on the left, you will know what I mean. And that does not include the main posts yet. I have a few anchor posts that will be the main pillars of the blog, and those will only be posted in the first quarter of 2010.

New Niche
There’s also a new niche that I am experimenting. Will blog about this in detail later. It’s a video blog, however  copyright may be an issue. Not be my cup of tea, but it is already making money. May consider to sell it. Anyone interested?

Joint Venture
There’s one project with another blogger that started in August 2008. A blog specific to Johor Bahru, although I am not from Johor JB Cool is currently looking for guest bloggers. So, if there’s anyone interested, let me know

And a few other things. I am also considering to build my own list. Have been blogging and making money for quite some time, but no list yet. Most IMs says that the money is in the list, but I don’t have any yet. You can still do it without a list, but having one does make it easier

Happy blogging!
