Amazing article I truly agree with bathroom mirrors, there should be passion is all work we do, we should do the things with passion. Work done by passion always comes up. It you have passion for blogging then the blog which you write will always be much better.

Hey Steven,

Excellent, I have never even thought about trying to find a sub-niche in an over saturated market, just tnd to see it as too busy and more on to find another market that hasn’t been filled.

Thanks,

James

For WDS I tend to blog about something I’ve learned that week myself, For example, I learned how to put snow on my Blog last week so I blogged about how to do it, When I first started out I Blogged about starting a blog, I know lots and lots of people do the same, so I try to make mine different and show examples. It works, I’m not looking for huge traffic, in fact, I use my blog as a kinda online journal or notebook for HTML and CSS, if I can’t remember something in work, I’ll check my blog and all my instructions are there.

I think this is a relevant post, and timely too as it's time to move into a new year. Most people will be thinking right now about strategies, effectiveness, efficiency, re-focusing, and so on. In my opinion, this post is particularly relevant for those who want to monetize their blog and what Steve is saying here is absolutely correct. I'll add that, in my case, I had to choose niche that I particularly feel competent and passionate about, something that I can fairly compete with regardless of who's on board. I'm able to write on not so 'hot' topic because monetizing the blog is not my primary purpose. I do make money from the ads there, but it's not my primary source of income...I have other and far more richer offline streams. I however noticed that there's a significant increase in my search engine traffic now, and from referrers. On the long run, don't sacrifice competence and passion. The long term 'content-is-king' strategy is still unbeatable. Thanks Steve, and Merry Christmas to you and Boss and the rest of the family!!

Yup so much to learn about supply and demand. Most people don't realise that and start banging on things which has high demand and starting to realise that competition is too tough. I suggest starting on smaller stuff first and work until you get a good grasp of the matter then proceed on. Ben Peis last blog post..Big List Of Social Bookmarks
