Not Interested In My Niche At All - Do I Continue?

I agree with Yukon. No sense in wasting your time and effort on something you aren't passionate about.

Reflect on your life's interests and hobbies and try to figure out a way you can begin marketing to others who share that passion.

When you have passion and true love of your market fueling your business nothing will be able to stop you. Best of all it will shine through in your marketing materials and any content you create.

Then it really won't be work at all and you'll find yourself making great strides towards your goals quicker since you'll be getting so much done in a very small period of time.

One month is way too short to be able to evaluate the results, to see what works and what doesn't.

If you are going to jump to something else after every month - you will never finish anything...

Hi,

If you choose to do what Kay suggests, and it's a great suggestion, then
you'll have more options at that point.

You may want to think about monetizing with Adsense. John Schwartz,
whose nick here is Zeus66, is a resident Adsense expert, and I believe he
has something in his sig about a free ebook (optin) that looks very good
and informative about Adsense optimization. I mention that because I'm
about to start using Adsense on some blogs.

So, my point is you can do that, and if you're making some kind of Adsense
income, then that will increase the value of the site. Then you can sell it for
more money.

I also wanted to say something about your comments regarding the other
niche you really like but feel it's very competitive. I'm sure it is, taking your
word for it.

I recently saw a video by Mike Filsaime and Chris Farrell in which Chris explains
how he cracked into the digital photography niche by using a different approach.
Actually, the approach wasn't anything new to me, but still it was a good
explanation.

I'll briefly explain it, and you can do the same thing with that competitive niche
you are really interested in.

They called it a horizontal entrance. What he did was create a great free
offer that targeted the digital photography niche. But it did not directly compete
with the usual DP products, etc.

He did some good research and created an ebook that explained how digital
photography enthusiasts can sell their photos. Cool, huh? The thing he stressed
was that his ebook was extremely well-researched and provided excellent value.

That horizontal approach, as they called it, worked very well, and he just built a
list from that. There were other elements in his overall strategy, but that's
basically how he got his foot in the door in a highly competitive niche.

You can do the same thing, too.

So perhaps you can implement Kay's suggestion, and then to satisfy your primal
needs for something to work on that offers more satisfaction, which is totally
understandable, you can begin working on your horizontal entrance into that
other niche.

Hope that helps, some.

I've built a couple of sites and taken them down. I not only took them down, I also lost all the content. That was dumb, dumb, dumb! I can tell you! I have also tried to build sites that I don't have a real passion for and I find the same thing...it's really difficult to keep on with the site. However, I've been able to do so with one site and it's doing okay. I can feel for 'ya though. Been there done that. Hope I've learned my lesson! Let us know what you decide to do and good luck.

I think the idea of flipping the site is excellent. Wish I had known about flipping sites when I took mine down.

As long as it's making you a profit, I say do it.

You can outsource writing stuff you don't know about.
