Vertical Jump Training Blog online!

While I do enjoy writing on HubPages simply for writings' sake it is a only part of a total internet marketing strategy.  Using Google Adsense and Amazon affiliate ads, I am able to produce income from my hubs.  The past month have seen some great strides in this area as my Adsense income, though still small, has begun to increase and rarely a day passes without making anything.  This month has also seen an increase in my Amazon commissions as I think I have found a formula that works well, especially for seasonal hubs.  I will share more about this later.

As I approach retirement age, I am looking to build a residual income to supplement my retirement income.  My hopes are to make a few hundred dollars a month with HubPages and a few hundred more with some other niche marketing websites.  The strategy is to create a handful of niche websites that each produce $200-$300 dollars a month.  Then I can realize a supplemental income of $1000 to $1500 per month.  That is not a life changing sum but certainly would be welcome in retirement.  The strategy provides multiple streams of income so that all my eggs aren't in one basket.  If one niche stops performing, I can shut it down and develop a new niche website to replace the lost income.

I have just launched my second niche website using this strategy.  I have 2 sons that play basketball competitively.  Each one have sought to increase their vertical leap, a sought after ability in basketball, volleyball and several other sports.  They have purchased and completed a couple of vertical jump training programs.  They got me thinking.  After doing some research, I determined there is a large demand for information in this niche and it was a good candidate for niche marketing; highly defined, good demand and not too much competition.  So, I started verticaljumptrainingblog.com to target this niche.  I still need to add more content but it is off to a start.  If you visit the site, I would appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have to make it better. Whatever success or failures I have, I will be sure to share.  Thanks!
