Thanks Linda for the insight.
I've been feeling like some of my products / methods were not "me". I am a newbie and have not made a sale yet but am continuously researching new stuff. I am finding the whole world of internet marketing fascinating to the point of dreaming about it. I actually love going to work (in my home office) and I'm sure will love it more when I start having some monetary success. Anyway, thanks for all the great info and advice. By the way, what happened to the site review section? - I can't seem to find it.
Thanks Linda and All,
Sincerely,
Mike King
mekingo, the Request Site Review forum is in The Marketplace. A member must have 10 posts before he or she can request a site review.
It might be a good idea to read the rest of the rules for the Request Site Review forum since there are some restrictions on what sites can be reviewed.
It should be mentioned that while all passions aren't marketable, aspects of what made you passionate about something could be. For example, someone might like baseball because it engages within them a number of passions (statistical analysis, athletics, sports writing, physics etc.) Basically, although you may have a passion that isn't necessarily something you can make money off of, really think about that passion and maybe there are aspects within it that could drive you towards a more marketable niche.

This is well said. Sometimes you have to figure out what aspect of a niche is attractive to you, and use that to help you break into other niches that are different, but share similar qualities. Most importantly though, stay dedicated! Even if you are dedicated to a small niche, it can grow over time with hard work.
At the moment my mind is coming up with so many ideas how to make money. I haven't actually made any money out of them yet. Just starting things. I'm getting my sister to make jewelery with pearls and sterling silver but from the look of it I don't think I'll make too much money.
Passion is our ability to feel to grasp onto whats real. The reason why people do so well when their passionate about something, is because they get addicted to that feeling of bliz. Thats how you know your on the right track to success. The beautiful thing about that, is you can fuel one passion into another direction. As long as it co mingles with what your doing in some shape or form. It can turn your whole life around in all areas of your life...
Passion resides from solar Plexus as feeling, and rises up to your heart to send the message out to the Universe to show you the fruit of your labors return 10 fold...
What a great subject...
Thanks for the opp to talk about it...

Well I have the feeling in my solar plexus and it's rising and rising over and over again but the fruit of my labout returning 10 fold hasen't happened yet! But I'll be an extremely happy chappy if it does.
Aint this the truth. I'm working with an ecommerce coach (ecommerce is not really my thing I'm discovering). We built a website and submitted it to directory. Luckily I'm just dealing with affiliate links. Not in the mood to find any suppliers. The niche I picked was not as inspiring as I thought it would be. I did not feel enthused about working on that website in any way, shape or form. My other website I'm excited about. I've put more work into that.
If you like something, you'll find ways to coddle it and make it better. You don't like it then it feels like unwanted homework.
Perfect, very nice and makes too much sense... its only passion that drives you to higher success... and along with comes the dedication to the work that you are doing.. it not only applies to internet marketing but to all phases of life.... good luck to all... keep up the passion.
