Do People Judge You For Your Niche?

Well, actually, whatever online marketing form I do people have their own assumption about Internet marketing being shady and me doing scams all day and night .

But I just ignore these remarks and do my own thing - I am the creator of my success and future.

Thanks all.

I don't think there was any intention to "hurt me" but, I dunno, I'm like "Don't you realize I'd make a niche out of clown noses and applesauce if it didn't 'hurt' anyone and didn't bother me morally and made money?"

Lol... the subject might be sensitive for some but I'm nowhere near what others perceive. I guess "it is what it is"... cause I've seen worse! lol.

Yes.

It's human nature. We all judge somebody for something.

Yes, person reading this and shaking your head NO, you do it too.

I've already read, today, on this very forum, two separate cases of an individual judging another based on their choice of niche.

All you can do is ignore them. Just like you would if somebody were judging you because of the shoes you're wearing... I mean really, they are awful.

Yep, but that's what pen names are for.

If people aren't judging you, you're not doing enough marketing.

Dont let people blocked your way to success. It is very unfair. Dont let them judge your niche, they are jealous because you have that kind of bussiness / products and they dont have. But actually. judging others is peoples nature so dont be affected is the only answer to their insecurity

I never get judged for my niches, because my real name (as here) and my niches have no visible connections (well, apart from with one product I endorse, but that isn't really one of "my niches" anyway, and I don't even build a list for it ).

But I know that if people did judge me for my niches at all, some would say, for the most part: "Who'd have thought she'd have such boring niches?" or maybe even "Who'd have thought there was money in that niche?"

This sounds pretty out of line, to me: I wouldn't be too pleased.

I do admit that I might occasionally "judge others for their niche", though: I do wince a lot when I see people promoting alternative medical niches in a way which may discourage truly sick people from seeking the medical attention they urgently need, because I think that's really reckless. Having said that, I can't actually think of another example, though ...

Absolutely, they do. And I even make my living in niche markets.

Got some pen names too, in all 3 genders, and even they get "interesting" correspondence.

But I still love internet marketing in all its various forms.

Hello... trannies!

Telling people how to get rich in a hurry? You're guilty of being a get rich quick shyster.

Telling people to build up their income slowly and carefully? You're guilty of holding people back from achieving their dreams as quickly as they could be.

Telling people how to pick up romantic partners in the field? You're guilty of destroying the wholesome fabric of the family, cheapening the meaning of love, and objectifying men/women.

Telling people how to carefully cultivate relationships they already have, built on love, trust, and fidelity? You're a goody-two-shoes and a prude.

Telling people how to get healthy with alternative medicine? You're a snake oil salesman, depriving people of real medical care they need.

Telling people how to recognize serious symptoms and go see a doctor? You're guilty of perpetuating the unethical lies and greed of the modern medical and insurance industries, who just want to keep you sick and paying.

Telling people how to get fit doing just about anything? You're guilty of failing to tell them that the One Real Truth is that the only way to *actually* get really fit is this other thing that *I* endorse.

Telling people how to lose weight? God help you. You're guilty of giving out poor dietary advice...you're guilty of failing to properly address the role of fitness...you're guilty of damaging people's health...you're guilty of perpetuating dangerous and unattainable stereotypes...you're guilty of crippling already fragile self images...you're guilty of objectifying men/women (again)...and you're probably guilty of arson, grand larceny, high treason, and God knows what else.

Everybody is someone else's leper.

Somehow, we persevere and keep selling anyway. God bless capitalism.

So, you don't believe in what you sell? I'd judge that more than I'd judge the niche.

But hey, maybe I'm reading you wrong, and I'm just some guy on WF, anyway. How you judge yourself is what matters.

Anyone who doesn't probably isn't doing anything that really matters.

I am one of the very, VERY few writers on this forum who is not only willing to write sexually explicit content, but has... well, shall we say, significant experience with the marketplace.

I had one client who was starting a "sex toy" website, who got awfully judgmental and upset when I told her what one of the products on her web site was. She had it in the wrong category, and it was for a clientele she was not interested in pursuing.

But since I clearly knew far too much about these things, she didn't want me as her writer anymore. See, nobody could possibly know that unless they were into that sort of thing themselves, you know. :rolleyes:

@CDarklock:

Dude, your picture is one of the best things on WF.

This story lacks sufficient details.

hehe.... in warrior world you should judge people for how much do they earn IMHO.

I've promoted all kinds of things. I remember my friends used to give me a hard time for shilling twilight posters and stand-ups. They quickly shut up after they realized that is how I made a down payment on my car.

If people want to judge me they are more than welcome to. For those that disagree with what I promote on a personal level, they can honestly kiss my ass. As I tell religious people who just want to argue their point... "Who ever said I wanted to go to YOUR heaven?"

Personal taste, morality, ethics. It's all so dynamic. I promote what makes money AND I sleep mighty comfortably at night...

Well, you might get some noise. Yeah, especially if your friends are religion pure pious. That and your niches are casino, or worse porn.

I judge not people for their niche but I judge the search engines for what they rank number one in that niche(unless people put in trojans or something in their websites).

Ain't never been judged for my niche; howsoever, I am forever and eternally bein judged for my beauty! Fact is, ain't many folks what take me seriously cause they cain't see past my good looks! Bein hit on all the dadgum time. Gettin so many personal messages that it would choke a horse. Folks wantin me to send em pictures of myself. People climbin over my barbed war fence tryin to get at me (don't get no fancy ideas bout what I just said cause I can clip a flys wing at 600 yards whilst he's turned away from me with my Sharps Big Fifty... an that's if I been hittin the shine. Sober I reckon I could do it at 1000 yards).

Anyhew, I was thankin I would just add my three cents to this here conversation. I just ask that you not be hatin me cause I'm beautiful!

Good point LD

Thaddeus beautiful people rock! Keep them in their place while your beauty blossoms faster than than a log set on fire with moonshine as an accelerant !

Dennis - red clown noses have an 880 global search estimate with $1.62 cpc... and good competition from advertisers! It might work!

Well one thing which is for sure is that people will always judge others whether because of their or something else. That is just human nature and there is pretty much nothing you can do about it. So I say just be yourself and do your thing. Haters will always be haters and judges will always be judges(not the judges in court lol)

So bottom line is forget about what people say and focus on your goals and celebrate your achievements.

No matter the niche, as your presence expands you run into resistance.

Some people can share their viewpoint in a tactful manner and some others are unhappy with their lives and will down you for living your own life. Leave these people behind. Remember, their judging has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them so try not to take it personally because it never is.

Your feelings are a mirror. The person who judges is judging themselves.
