Hey Warriors hope all of you are having a great and successful day..

Alot of struggling and new Internet Marketers don't know where to start at in their online business venture so I just wanted to talk or write a minute on going after your passion in IM.

Whether that be MMO, Health or whatever it may be.. You have to look at it as having passion for whatever market you want to enter... Alot of New or Struggling Internet Marketers just go straight into the MMO Niche and that is totally wrong UNLESS you have passion for that Niche and Learn it from the inside out..

If your passion is for Instance Bodybuilding then you should definitely go after that Niche...

Before you get into anyone that you choose make sure you have passion for it and also make sure to do your research and make sure it is profitable before you go to tackle that Niche...

Just a few simple pointers to the struggling marketers who is having trouble deciding on what to pursue in this business...

    Of course, that's all predicated on your passion being something mainstream and marketable, like fitness and bodybuilding. It's true there are a lot of untapped niches out there, but if your passions lie in, say, researching obscure supernatural creatures, you're going to have a harder time generating buckets of money.

      That's not necessarily a fact, merely an opinion I suppose.

      I personally know several individuals that operate in similar industries to researching obscure supernatural creatures, and I can guarantee you that they earn much more than about 90 percent of marketers online. Just saying....

        Hah, actually, I'd be interested in learning more about that, though possibly it's not relevant to the thread. I mentioned monsters because it's, honestly, where I'd rather spend my time than the usual high-competition subject drilled down into a long-tail keyword niches that make people money, but they don't exactly cater to the "hungry buyers" set.

        I guess anything's possible...

          Supernatural topics are in itself a large niche, with many sub sub niches and topics.
          There are Millions of people ready to open up their wallet in order to buy the latest DVD or book on Ufo's, Aliens, ghosts, bigfoot... you get the picture.
          If these topics are your passion, then I say, make a living with it. Life's too short to mess around with seemingly popular niches such as making money etc, if your heart is not into it.

      Absolutely correct... I see alot of times people say stay away from a Niche if it has alot of competition... I say competition is good because you know that whatever Niche it is and it has alot of competition then that probably is a great one to go after...

    Michael,

    I would like to add the thought that following your passion doesn't necessarily mean that you have to market in the niche of your passion.

    Let me explain.

    Let's say I'm a very talented illustrator. By following my passion it doesn't mean that I have to create a business in the graphic illustration niche and sell my drawings as other artist's might.

    I might find that my skills are best rewarded when I contract my services to authors in the writing and publication field. Or maybe I could set up my business in the video game industry, or the greeting card industry.

    I'm trying to say that certain skills and passions can be expressed in the form of a viable business and service to many varied niches.

    That's the great advantage of being in the IM niche. What other niches doesn't the IM professional touch?

    Good luck to all,

    Steve

    Passion does not, always equal profits. Pick a niche/market that has potential and earning profits, can become your passion. You gotta, love what you do, just make sure it can make you money in the end.

    There are, thousands of niches that many...have passion for, not all make money unfortunately.

      Your exactly right but having a passion for something and doing your research to make sure it is profitable otherwise you will be wasting your time with it..

      Alot of struggling IMers go straight into the MMO online Niche because they think that is all there is to go into, Which is a common misconception..

      I feel that you should definitely go after something that your passionate about but before you go into tackle that Niche you have to do your research to make sure you can make money in it...

    Here's an interesting counter argument I've read:

    ‘Follow Your Passion’ Is Crappy Advice | The Minimalists

    Here’s the key: there is no special passion waiting for you to discover. Passion is something that is cultivated. It can cultivated in many, many different fields. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense to say, “I don’t know what my passion is.” What does make sense is to say, “I haven’t yet cultivated a passion, I should really focus down on a small number of things and start this process.”
