I never watch sports but here is a quote from one of my most favorite people Vince Lombardi:

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. "

Here is another Lombardi Quote:

"It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner. "

Maddi,

Here is a post from my extra income report blog (www.extraincomereport.blogspot.com) that can help you get started.

God Bless!

OK, I'm going to give you a few pointers on how to find a niche.

The first rule is RESEARCH.

Take your time and really look around. I go to the book store a lot. Look at magazines. What trends are there?

I was at a big book store with my wife last week and I am utterly amazed that there were these huge expensive looking magazines about (get this) watches!!! Holy Manoly! There are apparently a load of people that buy the real expensive kinds and collect them! So, what I'm trying to say is look at magazines of all sorts. Look in the backs of them as well. Here's another example, look in the back regularly of magazines in the grocery stores like the National Enquirer.

The ads in the backs of those magazines cost big bucks to write and those people don't just stick them in there will- nilly! If you can, start collecting them and put them in a file. If you see the same ads month after month, then you may have a great idea for hot web site.

Here's a great place to check for ideas: http://www.google.com/trends

This is a tool that will tell you all about a trend for over a period of years. I just checked out GPS systems the other day and the need for those products are strong. Bee keeping is on the upswing too! Metal detecting too.

Want more ideas?

Start reading forums. People talk a lot about stuff there and you can get real specific. I have an electric bikes and scooters site. I checked out the forums the other day and guess what everyone was talking about? Where could they find a good supplier of electric bike batteries. I gotta put those on my site next.

Go to the library, start looking at everything. Check out stuff you are interested in, but don't be afraid to educate yourself on something new. i didn't know a darn thing about Electric Bikes but I have now written about them so much some people think I'm an authority. I got 9000 visitors last month!!!

Anyway, that's step 1. Make sure that there is a hungry crowd for your project.

OK GO! I'll check on you later!

Swiss,

I'm in Jackson Hole, Wyoming right now and I went to Yellowstone National park yesterday. The Tetons are incredibly beautiful. How is your progress doing? Have you researched you topic yet? Just checking!

God Bless,

Swiss,

The lens looks great!!! You did an awesome job on it and I think that you picked a worthy subject. I saw tons of people doing Nordic Walking all over the Tetons and Yosemite National Park so there is definitely a niche out there. You may want to focus even further by creating a niche within a niche. For example; College students that Nordic Walk, or Seniors that Nordic Walk. You could even have a site that sells Nordic Walk stuff by way of affiliate programs. Oh, well you see what I mean. Anyway, great work on your first lens!

God Bless!
