Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

I am basking in the glow of Wordpress love today!! I got an idea on Saturday to launch a site based on Wizards of Waverly Place. My kids are really into the show and we had just watched the movie. I checked a couple of affiliate programs to see if there were products to promote, and there were.

With a combination of my Thesis developer's license, Popshops, and a few standard free plugins, I launched the site in about 3 hours Saturday night. By today, I am already getting about 50 page views a day from organic search results alone. That's not huge, but the site has only been up 3 days and I haven't advertised it at all.

I love Wordpress!! Easy to get sites going quickly. And if it doesn't take off, I'm only out the cost of the domain name.

Thanks! Some are better than others. It's the "others" I need to spend a little more time on. LOL!

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. "Blatant self-promotion" is discouraged on SI, and "spam" is not welcome. Please be considerate of your fellow members.
