Hi Bill,

Sure, you can follow my idea of tennis and develop a golf site. I am not sure I really understand your question but you should build as many pages as possible to get more chances of being found for various keywords.

I came across Site Build it just browsing the web yesterday and was blown away with everthing it gives you. I have already tryed onlines business’ twice and have failed both times but when I saw that I knew I had to try again. My passion is Golf and I would love to start a site on Golf instruction, but not all instruction just the one that worked for me. I love your Tennis site and I would like to do something like that with Golf. How could I so it with just one kind of instruction or should I put multiple instruction on it, you know Golf is a lot like Tennis and thats why I am really looking at your site. By the way when I was in High School I was a pretty good Tennis Player. thanks……….bill

Tina,

You can sit back when you see that you rank well for your major keywords which bring a lot of traffic. From what I see now after 3,5 years is that even if you hurry at the beginning, it doesn’t really make a big difference.

The key is not speed but persistence. Keep building content and links and you’ll do just fine.

Thanks for the great advice, as always.

I know there is hope for my website to really get moving hopefully in the near future.

I am determined and I am in this for the long run.

One question, how do you know when you can sit back and not have to worry so much over you’re site? I know I’m not to that point yet, but someday soon I hope.

I think you mentioned it in another post about how your site or sites were built and you could relax now and enjoy the ride or something like that.

Jacqueline,

You’re right, picking the right niche is the key and it’s good to be afraid of that choice. Why? So that you start asking questions!

There are a lot of experienced SBI-ers reading the SBI forums and they will share their thoughts on your potential niche. So again, my suggestion is to keep asking experienced people (I am happy to help too) to find a niche with good demand that’s also winnable for some of its main keywords.

One of my fears is not picking a good profitable niche and then all my work and time will be a waste.

I’m not saying I’m not willing to work hard and I know that I’ll gain experience by setting up websites etc. I guess I just want a solid consistent stream of income for all the hard work and to reinvest the profits for other projects.

I have a site that is in a popular niche and I focus on longer tail keywords but the traffic isn’t great and the profit from it is terrible! It’s so frustrating. I’ll never give up but it’s hard to stay motivated sometimes!

Hi Tomaz,

Your post came right on time. I was reading a lot lately about internet bussinness and I was having exactly those kind of doubts. Your post just made me more convinced that i might succeed.

Thx and keep the good work.
