It takes time to get from A to B, but when you calculate all the preparations you need to do for setting travel plans... well it takes time. Looks like mobile lifestyle is a huge sink for resources, if you do it extensively - yesterday NYC, today London and Moscow tomorrow.

What about the story of a tiny tree lifting up its roots and changing its place all the time to get every possible benefit, while other trees stood tall and grew on?Commitment is the keyword here - commitment to continue while keeping eyes in the goal.

It always takes some nerves to post ones thoughts for everybody (I just wish my thoughts would reach everybody) to see. I think here is the cause for so many "Hello, world" or "Great post!" comments.

In the focus-post I noticed that just preparing on something doesn't bring results. What preparation brings in reality is readiness for action, but if action never comes all we have is an ongoing preparation cycle. Wanna prepare to live your life or just live your life?

Readers can be traded into money by unleashing hordes of advertisers upon them. Poor readers can be sold cheap by introducing sleuth of digital content products for them.

"This is how to build one supporting pillar for the business", I thought. So, I sought to grab much-searched terms in Finland. I used local and global search engine popular lists, Google Trends and Google AdWords. I kept on mining those popular keywords that would eventually bring me traffic.

You won't notice it at first, because it's either too weird or too obvious, and we all know that such things can never work. Until it becomes huge and hordes of people praise the new and it becomes the new formula.

Plan is to do one site a day, which is a pace I'm not likely able to maintain, but it will set a bar that creates pressure. For readers here it will be difficult to follow my progress on this, because I plan to do all those sites in Finnish, since it is the ultimate niche framework.

Conventional internet marketing theory says that small enough niche has limited competition and therefore even small site can climb up in the search engine visibility ladders. Narrow topic of a minisite also means that author is able to cover the topic completely.
