The Niche of Doom - Internet Marketing

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.
