Science Blog...

[The Abundant Man]

I have an idea for a science blog about anything space related. It'd be more of an educational platform.

There will be a section for space science. It will be anything science related from planets to blackholes on how they work and function.

Then there will be a section on space history. From Aristotle and Pythagoras nitcing that the Earth has a curvature to the Space Race during the Cold War to Billionaires taking us to Mars and beyond.

There will be a Book Review section for any astronomy books and a movie review section for any sci-fi movie reviews.

In the future, I might do a podcast interviewing scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers etc. if the blog gains any traction.

I'd monetize the website through SEO, Google Adsense and Amazon Affiliate.

I would also have an email list to have traffic.

Is this viable?

Yes.

I am speaking as someone who failed as an affiliate marketer, had a bit more success blogging, just a bit more success self publishing ebooks, but mostly as a consumer of all 3.

Your concept burns the candle at both ends: history of science and the evolution of science, concerning space.

Unique, fresh content on autopilot (written, audio, and video,) exclusive interviews/podcast when possible, and making sure all the content is monetized and you just may be on to something.

Science is an evergreen topic and an under-understood genre by far too many in America.

I imagine it to be tedious in the beginning, but once the system of automation is implemented, you may be on to something.

Just write it like you might talk in front of a class, don't write it like you are trying to impress Google. Make some posts 1200 words long and make some 4000 words long. Nice, neat and clear with a few good pictures on a really good theme and you will go far. Just don't cram it with ads. Great content will let you become the leader of your niche.

Ever went to a blog expecting to find good stuff and a lot of it only to find some good stuff but only 2 small paragraphs? Yeah, don't be that blog.

UniverseToday.com gets a ton of traffic, so I guess that's validation. You'd probably want to find a subniche or angle where you can skew value, since they've been around a long time & have a ton of content in the niche.
