So, What Do You "Speak?"

Last Update: May 23, 2010

Hey Everybody,

I thought I would share a thought I had today (I had more than one all day, I swear.)

This is for all who can not think of a niche to write about and make a campaign for.  I struggle when I write about things that hold no interest for me as I am sure many of you do.  But, when it is something where I "speak the language," I don't even have to think about it.  The words flow effortlessly.

I speak fluent Navy, tennis, running, surgery, Iraq trauma medicine, backpacking, and am a novice at a few other dialects (like internet marketing!)

My message to all of you who are struggling to find your niches is to think about your most comfortable lingo, then head over to the Adwords Keyword tool and let it show you some niches.  

Of course, when you pick something you are familiar with, your words are more passionate and knowledgeable.  It shows to the audience.

I have heard many times, especially from the Bum Marketing guys, that marketing is about having a conversation with a starving crowd.  "Speak" their tongue and combine that with keyword research, SEO, and a lot of useful content for a successful marketing formula when starting out.

Thanks for reading and good luck!

I concur. I agree too. You're way ahead of me, I didn't manage to have one single thought yet and even that hurt.

Right on Jared. It's less like work and more like play when you choose something you love and spend time doing anyway. IM gives you a chance to share you passion with others. In a way you can even change their lives by inspiring them too. Haha, I'm an idealist. Always look at things that way.

Thanks for sharing this great blog! I agree with you 100%. I get asked by members of the WA family worldwide about this subject all the time. I always tell them to pick a niche that is a passion.
