Warrior Needing Advice - What Path Should I Take?
I am in need of some guidance from fellow Warriors, as to which direction I should take, so I am hoping that a few of you might be able to point me in the right direction.
I have been mucking around with IM for a few years now in order to gain some experience, starting websites, blogs, trying and failing at affiliate marketing, adsense, critquing websites etc and I feel that I am just wandering aimlessly, and I have decided that I need to stop trying everything and anything, and start focusing more on what I am good at.
So I said, ok I am going to focus on my strengths, however now I am not even sure if my strengths are profitable. So I am left wondering, should I stick at it, try something new again, or just cut my losses and give up.
Over the last few years experience, I believe that my strengths lie with critiquing websites. I can look at people's website's for hours, highlighting things that are wrong with them, offering realistics suggestions on how they could be improved, and coming up with new ideas to improve their site and drive traffic. I focus on things such as Usability, Functionality, Appearance, SEO etc.
I started out critiquing websites for free on forums, where people were asking for reviews. After building up some experience and confidence, I then decided to start my own website, where I could post my reviews and offer a service, however I found that I was wasting so much time administering the site, that I had hardly anytime left to perform reviews, and virtually no time left to promote my site & source clients.
With the website going no where and costing money, I decided to turn back to the forums, starting a thread of my own, that would cost nothing, and pretty much manage and promote itself with all the passing traffic, however I am finding it difficult to monetize my service.
Anyway, I am hoping that Warriors might be able to provide me with some guidance. Is there a way for me to monetize my service, or am I just simply dreaming and being unrealsitic.
Any guidance that you can provide on how I can focus on monetizing my strength would be appreciated. I will post below an example of one of my reviews.
Cheers
Jake
