That is some great advice Lisa. I think passion always plays a key role for success. If your heart isn't in it then you probably won't give it your all.

Passion has many forms, just be aware of them.

You could be passionate about wanting to work for yourself.

You could be passionate about a product or system.

You could be passionate about a hobby.

When you learn to harness that passion you will know true power.

Great points Clint!

Sometimes people say there's nothing I'm passionate about that I know a lot about I could make money at.

So the other thing that you could be passionate about is LEARNING about something. You don't have to know it all, but if there is something you've always wanted to learn about that's still something you could blog about and make money at. The key thing is if you have an interest in it to keep you excited and motivated to keep generating content.

Your right Linda. I sometimes get stuck and don't know what to do, I run dry on content and juice. I think promoting sometime that closely relates to your interest can really get you where you definitely want.

Thanks for the post it. By the way i like the forum.

Cheers to yall.

Having a passion for what you're doing is the key to success. If you blog about a subject you don't like it will show in your writing no matter what you do. Find your niche and stick with it. A lot of people fail in this business because they give up too quick. Hang in there and work hard and you'll be successful.

This is a fantastic perspective on the whole idea of picking a niche and deciding just what to spend the majority of our time on as affliate newbies! Thanks for the great post and I now have a much more wide eyed appreciation for just what it is I want to do to get started in this game!

I believe that is an excellent post. My first blog I got bored with pretty fast. Just wasn't what I expected. But now my next blog is something I'm passionate about and its part of my day to day things and I feel I will have far more success this time around.

Thanks

Hey great Post. I have heard many people saying that you should promote products/services that you are passionate about because it shows up when you are not passionate about your product.

But you will be able to promote is much nicely when you are passoinate about. New affiliates always want to find promote or niche that will generate most money.

Lol I used to be one of them as well

I tried to follow the same advice when I was starting out. And sadly, I just wasted more than 7 months trying to make it work. I would never repeat it now.

You have to follow your passion - BUT - make sure there`s a MARKET for your passion. Make sure people are spending money on what your passion is. Other wise, you will keep babbling around for months, with very poor results, or no results at all.

Now I do follow my passion to help people. But I apply this passion to profitable niches That`s where the money is.
