Amen to that. I know I work REALLY hard on things I'm interested in, and I'm a lazy BUM on things I don't care about. So picking a niche was tough for me too. Why? Most of the things I'm really interested in don't have a lot to do with stuff you can sell.
I resolved the issue by creating my own stuff to sell, and then the power of ego pride ownership kicked in, and nobody has invented a better motivator than that. :-)

I'm ready to start amassing content too, and I mean a MASS of content. :-) My current goal is to have a 100,000 page site that makes $1 per page per year.
Where will 100,000 pages come from? Even somebody who loves writing as much as I do can't type that much.
We might discuss the process of promoting ourselves from writers, to publishers. This is a conceptual leap that many of us can make, even newbies.
That is, instead of working ourselves in to exhaustion writing our own content page by page by page, work smarter by learning how to grow and manage the writings of others. This is an especially promising idea for those who just aren't naturally comfortable with writing, as many people aren't.
Being a people manager is a whole different ball game than being a word manager, and for those with the gift, it's a ball game that might have much bigger horizons.
Anybody here thinking along these lines? If so, please share your thoughts.
