Well when you bring up "online guru's" that's talking about the type of marketing newbies fall into that I don't think they should.

When I talk about finding a niche you can be passionate about it's not the hype filled world of Internet marketing.

When I talk about finding your passion - I'm talking about a work at home Mom passionate about home schooling and building a site around that. Or someone suffering with back pain who's tried everything, knows a lot about it and decided to focus on help others by building a blog about back pain. Or someone who just loves and is addicted to radio controlled cars and want to focus there.

I recently read something about the fact that - sure you can follow the money and build a site about a product or topic you could care less about. But when you do that - THATS when you need motivation to force yourself to do it and that's when the site seems like WORK.

And once again after you get your feet wet and learn the ropes you can sell whatever you want. But again for newbies I think starting off with something they are passionate about helps. It makes writing content and all the other work more enjoyable as they build the foundation and wait for the money to start coming in.
