You don’t have time for a side hustle. Right?

Bullshit.

For the next year, I’m going to be building a profitable niche site in one hour a day. Because you don’t need all the time in the world. You just need to start.

Today I’m sharing stage 1. How I went from zero ideas to a published website ready for content in under three hours.

Hour 1 — Niche and Domain Selection — Just Pick One

My first blog failed because it was too general and the advice was shit. I worked on it for three months and backed out for something more commercial. But I began learning how to write online.

My second niche site failed. It was about extended-range guitars but playing guitar is going out of fashion faster than riding to work on a hoverboard. I worked on it for about 4 months, earned a little affiliate commission and realised it wasn’t a viable niche. But I learned about affiliate marketing and SEO.

My third site brought my first 6 months of learning together and hit the target. I carried on learning and worked on it for the next four years before selling it.
