Do You Think This Is Twisted?

I feel that I have been blessed with a fair amount of common sense, in fact I would definitely attribute my success at making money online so far to that. Well it certainly isn’t my technical abilities as that side of things needs much work!

Anyway, I read many articles written by successful online entrepreneurs on how you need to choose a niche market that you are passionate about when it comes to earning any decent cash on the web. So if you are a cyclist, then you create your own site on cycling and constantly write articles related to that sport. Over time, visitors increase and you can then look at ways of monetising that traffic to earn the most money possible from your cycling website.

But what if your only passion in life is something like catching butterflies?!!

Exactly how much money are you going to make with a website about catching butterflies? Let me answer that…. Very little, probably none.

So although I can understand the thinking behind creating a website only on a topic you are interested in and passionate about it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for people that are into less popular interests and things in life.

My advice if you are serious about a proper Internet income is.. bugger that!
Unless your passion in life is an extremely popular topic on the Internet then don’t write on your passion but on something that is going to earn you some real money online and not waste your precious time. There are many niche topics on the web to research and choose from that will bring in large amounts of visitors and give you many options when it comes to the actual monetising of your website.

Take Insurance for example, highly popular topic and frequently searched in all the major search engines. If you created a website on this and could get a good ranking in the search engines (that’s for other posts) you would be off to a flying start. Of course, most people are not passionate about insurance at all and it would become very difficult to keep writing articles on this for years to come but who says YOU have to?

Once your website is getting traffic and you are earning a small, steady income from it on a program like google AdSense then find someone willing to write good content for you and pay them. From there you are simply building on the foundation that’s been laid. Over time your earnings are going to increase significantly and you can afford to pay a few more people to write for you. Or better still, find more popular niche topics, create new websites around them and build your empire.
