are killer whales found in the gulf of mexico
Just looking at some of your keywords here, wow. It goes from raising and rescuing squirrels in North Carolina to killer whales in the Gulf of Mexico. That is a pretty big variety.

I think what I would have to recommend is dividing this project up into sub-niches. Take a handful at a time... 6 to 8 or so and focus on those for a few months. Then look at another 6 the next few months.

What those sub-niches are I would leave up to you. If your passion is to become the go to site for information about rescuing squirrels in North Carolina, then focus on that. If you are more interested in educating people on Killer Whales, then let's focus on that.

I guess what I'm getting at is focusing on the main theme of your site being "nature" is just far too broad.

1) Adsense for now.

2) Get enough traffic to launch a network of nature forums on the site, thus largely automating content creation.

3) Get enough traffic to make it worthwhile to get in affiliate marketing, to diversify beyond Adsense.

4) Introduce my hosting services.

5) Have a career that I enjoy enough that I'd do it for free if I won the lottery.
I like #2. It's big. It's ambitious. I like that.

As for #3, what product or products do you have in mind to promote? That may influence what we focus on first.

I'm a little confused about #4... The hosting services. I'm just not putting the dots together between where someone would visit a nature site and the next logical step is getting them signed up for web hosting. Please help me to understand this.

Getting to your newsletter... I think you need to give away something here to get signups. Maybe something like a report of the #10 nature hikes in the United States (assuming you are targeting US traffic). Or maybe a list of "Nature sites you don't know about but should". Just throwing out examples. This is your niche though. You would know better than me. There needs to be something to entice people.

This seems very different, perhaps the opposite, of the small very targeted sites you seem to focus on.
Not necessarily. It's just instead of one niche site, you have many niche sites. We would just need to focus on each niche independently. The advantage you have over someone else that I might work with is someone who we attract in one of your niches, may have an interest in some of your other niches and there is more reason for them to stick around. I think that's a plus.

For the social media marketing, Facebook is almost a must. It's such a popular tool today. Like it or hate it, you're doing yourself a disservice by not using it. What I like best about it is the viral potential of it. For example, I'm trying to talk a local sushi place into letting us work for them. I love this sushi place and any chance I get I tell people in my area about it. The owners are nice as can be. The food is fantastic. I think Facebook would be tremendous for them. As people in the area see their friends become "fans" of the Facebook page, if they never heard of the place, they would probably look them up and try them out or ask people they know about the place. Then they would become fans. All of their friends would see that they just became a fan of this sushi place, and the cycle repeats.

Twitter, like I said, I hate, but it does get results. I've seen it. It's dumb. It's such a stupid thing. But I have been able to drive traffic to a website through Twitter. I almost wish it wasn't true.

Well, my impression (correct me if I'm wrong) is that your focus and skill is with SEO. So, if we're going to keep this about you more than me, perhaps we should stick with SEO?
I like to think that my skill is with online marketing as a whole. I just have a passion for SEO. I think of it like a puzzle that I must solve.

Alright, so you would need to pick a few niches to focus on at this point and we can go from there.
