The End of WFH Pro

February 13, 2008 · Filed Under Uncategorized · 3 Comments 

Sad to say it but I’m closing up shop on the WFH Pro. It was an experiment for me to see if I could blog in a more “mainstream” genre as I had been blogging in very narrow niches before. I think it was a success, albeit just starting to develop it’s voice, but I want to focus my attention on my true love - RareVictorian.com. The potential audience may not be as broad, but I’ve learned you need to write about what you are truly passionate about and it doesn’t matter if you have 100,000 subs or 5.

I personally have a problem with all the “money blogs”, the “get rich”, and “blogging tips” blogs as much of it is recycled, common sense, banal, or contest-of-the-week. Give away this, give away that. Where’s the beef? Most of those blogs make less than a $100 a month and it is because you are floating in a sea of sameness. Not that money should be the ultimate goal for any blog, but when your blog is about money or getting rich or blogging about blogging, I think that is why you’re here.

For you bloggers out there - what is the niche where you personally can provide the most value to others with similar interests? Go there. It’s more fun and the material just flows from your true passions. And with an eCPM of at least $40-$80 like I am experiencing, it can pay more than just your hosting bill.

Thanks to the new friends who have subscribed to this blog and stopped by periodically to listen to my ramblings. You have my permission to de-subscribe. If you liked this blog, try out Rare Victorian and hopefully I’ll see you over there. Newbies welcome.

Thanks,
John
