Starting a niche website

Niche website is a very valuable online property. The trick is to find a market that is not crowded but have enough audience to earn some money. Only way you can succeed this way is by doing research research and more research. I'm testing out a new blog which is about Yeast infection in dogs. There seems to be a decent amount of search for those words so maybe I'll do pretty well in that one. Results will be shown in another blog post.

Another lens in squidoo

Squidoo is a nice place to add your expertise on different subjects and also a nice place to get some traffic to your blog. It is especially useful if your blog is covering one niche and you are dying to write about some other thing that you know of. I know a bit about adding a favicon to a website so I decided to create a squidoo lens about it. Check it out and let me know if you like it. How to add a favicon to a website.

Evaluation contest

Today we had an evaluation contest and a humourous contest in the Toast master meeting. I also particapated in the Evaluation contest and one thing I learned is that two minutes is a long time when you have deliver a evaluation in front of an audience. Other than that I think I wasn't prepared enough for the evaluation , sure I read the articles in the web and the pdf files , but I havent't thought of specific suggestions and so on. Well hopefully I can do better the next time.
The event as a whole was a great success , the humourous speach part was especially good and there were few very nice topics.Learned a lot from them and maybe I can do better next time.

Another great toast master session

Last Mondy attended another Toast Master meeting. I was the ah counter for this meeting and was a bit nervous about it. But it wasn't that hard but I have to make sure I prepare a nice introduction next time. The guest speaker was Mr.Niranjan Silva and he gave an exellent speech about public speaking and evaluating others. It was full of information and I learned a lot from that speech. I'm beggining to like this Toast Master club very much , after all its friends helping friends.

Going for social dancing

Today was the first day of our dancing lessons and it was fun. With my history of breaking hands and teeth lots of jokes were flying aroudn teasing me. The attendance was huge , I guess there were more than 100 participants. The first lesson was on jive and it was not that hard to follow. If nothing else it sure was a good exercise. If Basket Ball practises started on Wednesday then this is going to be a problem. Just have to wait and see :)
