When you first see yourself learning
about earning an online income, or when
you’ve made the decision to make
money with internet marketing, it can
seem impossible not to notice the articles
and writings that go out of their way
to warn you about the importance of
avoiding the internet marketing niche.
This may draw you in even more, or
perhaps you’re thinking that these
authors are trying to prevent future
competition. I’m not sure about
either of these things, but I do know
that no one knows the exact purpose
for any given writing.
I think that many times, these authors
are simply trying to get across a message
that says “Use the knowledge that
you have gained through your experiences
in life.”
It doesn’t always make sense
to take your time and learn about a
new field or a new subject when you
could jump right in and start selling
what you know…
- BUT -
Sometimes it seems impossible not to.
Was it just me?
I was asking over and over if it was
normal, the way a person can feel that
irresistible magnetism towards this
“Niche of Doom”. I found
relief by answering “It’s
ok to feel this way; this must be why
the niche is saturated.” –
This might be true.
I know that if you being to learn about
the internet marketing niche, you will
see an immense amount of information
and competition; this is unavoidable.
A sticky niche…
Day after day I said to my self, “Why
are you still reading about marketing
marketing when you should be finding
a niche related to your life passions;
you should be finding a ‘need’
or ‘pain’ felt by some group
or target audience that you already
know inside and out.”, but no
matter what I came up with, I was always
led back to this sticky internet marketing
niche.
I didn’t realize how much I was
gaining from this experience.
Insider secrets are everywhere…
Just like the niche market of internet
marketers is constantly growing, my
knowledge about this magnetic subject
was growing.
I learned to look past the ads that
were screaming “make $10,000 this
month”, and I began to actually
put my knowledge to work for my online
as and offline business ventures.
I clearly realized that the ‘insider
secrets’ of so many sales letters
and products that had come and gone
were surrounding me; the countless forum
posts and the myriad of great reading
materials that I had consumed was compounding.
For me personally, the most fascinating
secret of all was a simple one –
something that should be jumping out
at all of us – that voice inside
had begun yelling “Be unique;
be creative.”
Insider secrets are outside…
Imagine what it’s like to have
the realization that everything people
say about USP (unique selling position
– unique sales perspective) is
powerfully correct. Add to that, knowing
that you have to build strong relationships
with your partners, customers, and visitors.
Now, throw on finding flexibility in
your ability to go with what works and
make changes for what doesn’t
– This is the realization that
‘insider secrets’ are ‘outside
the box’ – Insider secrets
are everywhere as long as you have flexibility
and creativity working on your team.
These kinds of thoughts and realizations
really pulled me towards telling others
about what I was learning; this knowledge
was becoming organized in my mind and
I was ready to let it flow.
Time to teach, Time to learn…
The little voice in my head kept saying
“Share your new learnings”,
so I began writing about my online experiences.
With a background in helping people
learn, I didn’t have the struggle
of learning to write. So many people
go through this.
My subscribers send me questions about
writing; these are hard questions to
answer. Usually, I tell them to write
like they’re talking to a close
friend, but no matter what, I always
remind them that teaching is learning.
Assure your self that the process of
writing will bring a much greater library
of knowledge than the initial reading
and research that leads the process
of learning.
As you begin to share your learnings
with other people you will realize that
you are multiplying your knowledge through
instructing others and writing.
I learned fascinating things from teaching
and writing about this doomed niche,
and I was able to see the truth about
internet marketing – you’ve
got to crawl before you can walk, and
teaching is running.
Conclusion
I’ll wrap this up quick by reminding
you to find a niche that you already
have experience with – UNLESS
– you’re driven to learn
about something new and driven to become
a knowledgeable expert on your subject.
If you’ve got that uncontrollable
urge to learn and eventually teach people
about a subject then don’t let
anyone stop you. It’s your right
to write.
