So I have developed a plan of action
A few weeks ago I put some irons in the fire and a project that looks exciting has presented itself.
It is a blog in a large hobby niche that has some weak and targetable keywords. For example I have put the same 20 articles through about 5 directories and already the site ranks top 6 for 2 solid keywords.
Despite just starting the site is generating well over 1k visitors a month and about $20 a month in adsense.
So my plan is simple
I intend to feed the blog about 2 or 3 self-written high quality posts per week, while engaging the niche on twitter.
My overseas employee will feed 5 or so auxiliary blogs that are relevant to the main site with 3 unique posts a week per blog. Each of the 5 blogs will point back to the main site in a variety of ways. My hope is over time the blogs will grow some gravity of their own and pass quality link juice.
Once all these posts have been indexed I will run them through 5 or so of my favorite article directories.
The entire site will be built around adsense and affiliate programs around Christmas time. I would do affiliate 100% of the time but I understand that Google hates affiliate links.
Weaknesses I can see:
Site is based on a 'persona' which is of a different gender and ethnicity so it would seem video is out.
As of right now I have found no relevant do-follow blogs.
I would like a full time affiliate income but don't know how to deal with the affiliate link issue
Any constructive criticism is welcome. Thought about how I allocate my resources , link building strategy or how best to monetize are all VERY welcome.
As Always thank you in advance.
