Ok so it's been about a month since the last update, which I guess means another one is due.
What I Did in April
You know how you set out to do so much… anyway enough excuses. I did manage to build the website. As I mentioned when I announced the project, I'm using a custom built CMS. Instead of going with WordPress I've built at a custom php website. Obviously I wouldn't recommend even thinking about going down this route unless you're a) a good coder and b) have a good reason. I wanted complete control over the site. Not just the look. But how users interact with the content. So I custom built.
The build process took longer then I had expected. But that's ok.
The site is now live albeit it without any content.
What I'm Doing in May
Gonna knuckle down and create the content. As a bit of a challenge I came up with 100 blog post ideas that I can use on the site. Once you get on a roll, coming up with ideas, it's actually not that difficult. It's a great thought exercise. Give it a go.
My target is 20 posts for the month of May. Let's see if I can make it.
Revenue, Traffic?
No point in even reporting until I get the content up. I'm not aiming to make revenue until month 3 at the very earliest.
