So my goal for todays portion of the case study was to get my niche site built and online according to the specs laid out by Andrew Hansen in Niche Marketing On Crack.
I started around two and a half hours ago, and as of right now I have the site done, but without any content. His system involves a WP blog and a series of plugins. So in two and a half hours I downloaded WP, uploaded it to my server, found and downloaded the plugins, searched for themes, uploaded the themes and plugins, and added adsense code and an affiliate link.
The longest portion of this was looking for themes that fit his system, and that I liked. I had to make some allowances….I have a right sidebar, and Andrew prefers left. Also, editing the template to add the adsense code and link was a pain. I suspect that the Wordpress code has changed in the year or so since Andrew wrote the book, which made it a little tougher.
Still, I think I could do it faster, and two and a half hours isn’t bad considering I had to go back and refer to the ebook constanly.
Between today and tomorow I will be moving onto the next step, adding content and starting to promote.
