How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse Now that I’ve decided to stop building niche sites, I have dozens of domains collecting “space dust.”

I’m completely focused on Steve Scott Site. So I’m no longer interested in developing or building small niche sites.

That’s why I’ve decided to do a giveaway for one of these web properties.

Here are the details…

Building niche sites can get pretty boring. So a few months back, I thought it would be neat to create content around one of my favorite topics…Zombies.

The idea was simple. I’d create a site talking about the ‘zombie apocalypse’ in a funny, “fake news” manner. I could have also tied in some content relating to current events related to zombies.

I even registered a pretty sweet domain name: http://www.howtosurviveazombieapocalypse.net/

This niche site can easily be monetized through the Google Adsense model. It has a lot of exact keyword traffic, low competition, and a decent CPC (cost-per-click):

Zombie Apocalypse Keyword Research Notice how the domain name gets 9,900 exact searches per month. That means it has the potential to get a lot of quick traffic from Google.

Unfortunately, I got sidetracked with other projects and never had the chance to start this site. But my loss will be your gain. Starting today, I’m raffling it off to one lucky reader :-). Here is what you’ll get…

The winner will receive:

A free domain transfer of the website: http://www.howtosurviveazombieapocalypse.net/
1 unique keyword-rich article (1000 words)
5 unique keyword-rich articles (@700 words)
My personal recommendations for how to monetize this website

The articles are full of funny, zombie-related content. They’re written by a freelancer I’ve used on a number of occasions. So you’ll be getting great content to start your new site.

All you have to do is set up a Word Press blog and you’ll have a great beginning to a pretty unique authority/niche site.

The contest is pretty straight-forward. All you have to do is share this post on one (or all) of these three social media sites:

Twitter

You get one “entry” for each social media share. So you’ll get three entries if you do all three. Or one entry if you share it on one of these sites.

You have till 11:59 PM (Eastern Standard Time) on Friday June ^8th 2012 to provide your entry. After the deadline closes, I will pick one submission using Random.org in the order of the comments on this post.

To “officially” enter the contest you need to share this post on a social media site(s) and then post the link in the comment section below.

You can find this information under the time stamp for the share. Here’s how this looks in Twitter, Facebook, and Google Plus.

Just leave the link in the comment section and you’ll be officially entered.

Good luck!

Update: I’ve had a few people write blog posts about this contest. So I’ve decided to provide an incentive for that as well. Link to this article in a blog post and you’ll get credit for three entries. Just provide the link in the comments section and you’ll be automatically entered.
