What is a Niche?
Here are a few niche marketing examples:
A website on Golf
A website on Guitars
A website about dog training
A website about weddings
Or whatever interests you or whatever is hot out in the market.
But, you dont want to just do your site on such a wide competitive market. What you want to do is get a micro niche.
An example of a micro niche would be...
A website about a certain brand of Golf clubs
A website about bass guitars or even again the brand.
A website about a certain breed of dog to train.
and A website about wedding dresses or wedding favors.
Get it? You want to drill your niche down to a more specific item, product or service so that you will get targeted traffic and less competition.
To better help you do this you will need some help. You will need to find out what keywords in your niche are the best. I found this keyword tool very helpful and its made to make you money and grow your business to levels you never thought were possible.

Learn How To Become An Affiliate Marketer
An Affiliate is a person (you or me) who joins a network of merchants, and then you apply to their program. The program is this, you will make a commission off of any sales that you make for that merchant on your own website. So, if you put the merchants advertisement or banner on your site and someone buys something, you get a commission on that sale!
This is a real, legitimate way to make money, and you can become very wealthy doing this. Learn about becoming an Affiliate first before you just jump in. Get a few ebooks on the subject. Educate yourself. I have a few books on affiliate marketing. I have learned alot from these books and recommend reading them before you start.
There are also some membership sites you can join to get familiar with Affiliate Marketing. They consist of education modules and community's that are very helpful. Without educating myself I wouldn't have known how to market my websites and advertise effectively as an Affiliate.
I recommend the ebooks and at least one membership website to start you off.

The Building Blocks To Online Success!
There are several paths to building an online business! People think there is only one right way and only one wrong way of doing business online, but there is no one right way or wrong way. We have to realize that there are many ways to succeed online.
Essentially, you need to build a business and generate income. The best-performing companies are those that have great income from a dedicated, patient and self disciplined owner.
The lifestyle that comes from running an online business is rewarding! You get to work from home each day, set your own hours, choose who you want to work with and which projects you want to do, and finally enjoy a great income.
Having an online business is a learning experience and teaches you to be patient, improves your communication skills and makes you more disciplined. Running your own business can be tough. Sometimes we just need to challenge ourselves.
Why I think everyone should have an online business!
1. It's cheap to get started.
2. It's a learning experience.
3. You can generate income for the rest of your life even while you sleep!!
In order to build a successful online business you need traffic. No traffic means no income. Getting traffic to your site is not easy, and it takes alot of hard work and determination. Anyone can build a website or blog these days, but not everyone knows how to get traffic. If you can successfully build lots of traffic, it’s pretty easy to make an income from it.
The bad part of online business is that people just make too many mistakes while getting their sites out there. They only do part they do get is that they need to have great content but, they don't get the technical side of getting visitors to their site.
If you are one of those people who just doesn't want to do all of the technical part of starting your own business or you simply are not able to build your own website or blog then I suggest trying hiring someone else to design your website and get traffic. There are plenty of websites that will help you build your own out there.

The Difference Between No Follow And Do Follow
I am here to help you today. Ever wonder what "No Follow" is or "Do Follow"?
"No Follow" is simply a code that instructs search engines to not follow any of the hyperlinks in the body of a document, which is provided by the links of the people who leave a comment on your blog. It was created to deter "link spamming".
A lot of times people will make comments on blogs and join social networks to put links to their blogs or sites so that others will click the link and find their site. These are also called back links.
The reason "No Follow" was created was because spammers were putting fake comments on blogs to get people to come to their websites and then it would improve the spammers search engine rank. Unfortunately it created a lot of havoc and became irrelevant to the blog to which the spammer left the comment. So, for instance a spammer would put a comment on your blog that is about tattoos and then they put a link at the end of the comment. When someone clicks the link it would go to a camping website. Nothing to do with tattoos. See what happens? It isn't relevant to the content of your blog or site and becomes frustrating and becomes a nuisance to the blog visitor.
"Do Follow" is a piece of code that will create outbound links to your site. It tells the search engines to give an outgoing link and whether or not you want them to follow the link when crawling your website. Do Follow blogs can direct some juice to websites you don’t care about, the ones you don’t intend to develop as a reputable brand. Basically, AdSense or affiliate sites where you just want visitors to go in and come out via your referral link or ad click.
When you advertise your blog as a "Do Follow" blog, you are encouraging others to comment. Which can be good if they are legitimate comments and links.
The "No Follow' and "Do Follow" have caused a great deal of debate since it was introduced. It is definitely a subject that should be researched more and tested.
It should be a good subject for me to...Follow up on.
