Niches, no matter how much we talk about them there is still some confusion that surrounds the term "niche". Because of this, I want to offer you what I see to be the top 5 mistakes and worries I see when people are attempting to decide on their initial group of people (niche) they are going to choose to build their business around.Mistake 1: Being Too Broad Far too many people choose “health and fitness” as a niche.

I know, many of you reading this have likely obtained some form of post secondary education. Some of you may have great jobs as a result and not agree with this statement, some of you probably are on board and feel though that you have been “ripped” by the system and over-paid for your education.

The surest path to success is your ability to get more “traffic”. More visitors to your website mean more opportunity. Today I want to discuss “traffic” and the technique that I have personally used over the years to find my way to success within absolutely EVERY niche I have entered into.Traffic is the core of any successful business online... Why? Well, let me put it this way. Would you rather have a hot dog stand business on the corner of the busiest street in

Although we are heading into summer here, by no means does it mean that we are sitting on our laurels behind the scenes.

Some work, usually for a very short period of time….however, almost all of the “stuff” out there won’t work.

What most people don’t realize is that they hold the key to their success through their con

But there is a much faster, much cheaper way to gain even more marketable skills. There are two types of people in the world: Wealthy Affiliate members and non-Wealthy Affiliate members.

Good Morning fellow W AffiliGators... This Blog is dedicated to a Fellow Gator here @ WA, which after reading his Blog I felt compelled to write the following. His feelings I'm sure, are not unique, or abnormal. Many of us at one time or other, have and will face the same sentiments and challenge. I began to reply to his blog, soon to realize, it would be much to long. Then it dawned on me, write a Blog about it. Who knows, maybe my words will to

We all have ambitions. We all have goals. We are working very hard to make it happen. We spend so much of our time learning and taking actions. We spend hours on the computer - reading blogs, answering questions, postings, sharing and many more. All these activities have actually put pressure on our precious gift - EYES !
