Opinions on BOOK BLOGGING
I am currently in the process of planning a new website idea out and want to see what everyone's opinions/recommendations are.
My idea is starting a niche blog that is mainly a book review site but will also post information/videos about the specific niche. I've heard it can be tough to profit from a site focused on books but I figured if I plan on targeting a specific type of book/topic I may be able to do well with it.
What I plan on doing is starting a blog that is formatted pretty much exactly like this example ----> Squeeze Page Design by Rhonda Crosby
(It is the 1st example under blogs, the iMarketing blog example)
It's basically a blog with an opt-in box in the upper right corner with ads along the right hand side all the way down pretty much.
I want to frequently post book reviews that are related to my niche as well as related info/videos and I am hoping to build a mailing list in the process. I want to hopefully make commissions from my book reviews/recommendations and my ads will be placed on the site, but I want to profit from marketing to my niche mailing list to build long term profits.
I'm looking to see people's opinons about how book have worked for people or haven't worked, and recommendations on how to go about building a niche book review site and building a list along with it.
Thank you guys very much for taking your time to read this, means a lot to me!!
Take care,
Anthony
