Promoting Niche blogs

I am embarrassed to post this but I have to. This is all part of it-the good, the bad and the ugly get posted. After I wrote my last post-I did not write the Ezine articles or the Squidoo lenses I said I was going to do. I instead thought up this awesome domain name and thought that this was going to be "thee site". So I paid the 10 bucks and started the site. It is a "niche" I know a lot about. I mean I work 80+ hours a week doing it for a living so I should have no shortage in info to post! So I got excited-posted a few posts and...that was it. I never promoted it. I have a hard time promoting these things-I don't know why. I wonder if anyone has the same problem. I love to write and I love to do research but I hate promoting or trying to sell anything!

So is this going to doom me as a niche blogger? I certainly need to get on the ball. I am motivated to make money but for some reason I can't spit out 1 promotional article! I don't know if I should post under a pen name or use my real name. A little thing like that stumps me. I also am not too happy with how I started my niche blogs. I started with a generic domain name and created 2 blogs out of subdomains off that name but I don't know if it looks professional or if that even matters. I get very little traffic to them but write pretty good content for them. I am stumped. I am wondering if they do have a chance to make it but don't because I am just not "getting them out there". OK, no more playing around-I am going to write an article for each niche blog and see if that helps at all. I only have a few. If I see no difference in a few months-well then I am screwing up somewhere else. I will keep you posted!
