Dare
I’ve just cleaned up my new blog ( oh, did I mention that I’ve changed my niche ) and have done all that I can with my Article Marketing campaign for the night …. so, all is well. I only wish that I could tackle my new business with a little more vigor, but my family keeps me plenty busy .
After doing some long, hard soul searching I realized that I had to change my niche. I was originally going to market the whole “make money online” thing, and really thought I could rough it out with the best of them. But, once I stopped looking through dollar signs I realized what my real motivations were. And, I almost want to apologize. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
I’ve read enough e-books, and have bought enough programs to know that my first goal should be to add to people lives. Not take away. People know a sales pitch when they see one – and with every page I wrote it’s all I had in mind. And, for that I’m sorry.
One of the best pieces of advice I’ve been given thus far was to imagine never making a dime from whatever it is that I do online – whether it be a blog, website, a forum, or whatever. And, if for no other reason but for the sheer fun of it, what would I talk about?
With that in mind, I've finally found a topic that I want to market for the rest of my life. And, that makes me pretty happy.
Dare of the Day:
Pretend YOU aren't going to make one crooked cent from the subject you're marketing right now. Would you still do it?
Therefore it is easier to write about, more interesting to me and gave me the fire I needed to persevere. Something you love will help drive you to drive your business forward and you will come across to your readers as more genuine and believable.
