Why many Experts say you need to follow your PASSION? Reason being....

Dear Warriors,

Frankly, do you really understand why you need to follow your PASSION like what all other Gurus is touting?

This is how I feel (which works really much better for me)..

No matter which IM method you are using, w/o passion you:
  • won't be able to create content that intrigues your audience
  • w/o quality content, you aren't able to build the real bond with your list
The above two reasons is enough to let you know why some IMers can enjoy for years to come with only a list of 600 and why some IMers couldn't even make a decent income to quit their day job with a list of 1000.

Yes SEO is important,

Yes TRAFFIC is important.

But they shouldn't be the only two things you think about.

Why?

Imagine yourself as your own potential customer, would you be impressed with your own content? If your answer is NO, then why should any of your potential customer be listening to YOU?

If your answer is YES, wouldn't it make it all worthwhile to put in so much effort to build links, to social bookmark and to share the content?

I hope you get what I mean.

Regards,
Darren

    Hi John,

    Thanks for replying.

    I do agree with you though (partly)...

    We all started building sites and sites of niches, but think about it, this is because we are taught this way (do what works, isn't it?)..

    If you have access to the Gurus we respect, how really did the majority of them make their BIG bucks?

    It's really through penetration of many of the largest market online.

    Not that I don't encourage IMers to diverse, just that I really don't like seeing IMers get STUCK to that level.

    How I wish you had joined in 2006 because then you'll realize, 90% of the people I knew who had really made it, had already left WF, only few stayed because of the PASSION they have for this forum (don't believe? ask those who joined in year 06).

    I came back because I only know PPC up til now, and I want learn other methods.

    Regards,
    Darren

    I'd have to disagree with you on the content aspect of it. Anyone can put together good content (or pay someone to do it for them). I've done some pretty high level writing on things like annuities, Forex and sport knives, even though I don't have a particular passion for these areas. Writing good content that connects with an audience isn't that difficult if you know how to research a) what interests them, and b) where to get the most up-to-date info on a niche.

    On the other hand, it's not exactly fun for me to put together that content, especially compared to when I'm writing for niches I am passionate about. I'd argue that maybe that's a bigger factor - not that you can do it, but that you actually want to stick with it over time.

    I am sorry, I totally disagree, anyone can sound like the most enthusiastic and bubbly person... The thing which makes content good for users are the facts, if you combine that with a bit of fun writing then your content is going to look great. Wikipedia is a great example, wiki is basic, its roar facts and that is the place everyone goes to if they want to know something...
