Solomon | February 3, 2012 - 8:19 am

Running one of the more popular blogs in my niche, I talk to another beginner blogger who comes across my site and asks for advice every couple weeks or so. The first thing I tell all of them is you need to be writing about something you’re nuts about if you want to get anywhere.

Even if at certain times it seems that we are not able to keep up with all new developments, we should always give our best. In the end, the one with the broadest knowledge base also has the widest perspective, can pull the right strings, and leads [...]

Felix | December 3, 2009 - 6:20 pm

Do you want to strike it rich on the Internet? Are you listening to Internet marketers trying to sell their internet marketing products?

They tell you to go for the niches. If this is such a sound strategy, why aren’t they implementing this strategy themselves? Why are they selling “internet marketing” and “get rich quick” products in a highly competitive market instead of developing niches like they advise [...]
