Niche Empire Plan - Month 1 Status

Well today is April 30, the last day of this “challenge” I’m undergoing. You can read about the plan here.

So have I achieved my hefty goals for the month? Just about

Build 4 new niche sites per month - done. I have 2 static sites and 2 Wordpress sites. I like to mix it up.

Each site must have at least 10 unique articles within the first month - done. There are 2 smaller very niche sites which I’ve done 5 articles for only as 10 would get repetitive.

Submit each site to at least 25 quality directories - done

Submit at least 5 articles from each site to Ezinearticles in the first month - 2 sites done, 2 sites still with articles pending approval (who said platinum authors get approved quickly!)

Form a keyword list for each site - done

No advertisements on the site for the first month - done

Submit a sitemap to Google in Webmaster Tools - done

Add 5 unique articles per month to each site, based on my keyword research - these sites have been added to my May list. The smaller 5 page sites will probably have just one new article added per month (I can deviate from the rules a little here!)

Submit at least 2 unique articles to Ezinearticles each month for each site - same as above.

So as you can see I’ve done pretty well if I do say so myself
I do intend to keep this up all year, it’s not something I’ll get bored of. Until now I’ve written and submitted articles when I felt like it, not according to plan. Plans however are the BEST way to achieve goals.
