You Have To Believe It!
In order to have your websites do well you need to thoroughly know and be passionate about your niche. This will show in your writing of your content. In relation to writing good quality content, Matt Cutts of Google has said, “to write good content you have to enjoy what you are writing about.” This is why it is best to pick a niche based on your knowledge of it and not based on how much money you can make from it. If you are passionate about something or anything, then you can make money from it, you have to believe in yourself!
Success starts with YOU! I highly encourage you to listen to the snippets of motivation spoken by Will Smith in the video link at the bottom of this blog post. It will definitely pump you up. He is 100% right in so many of the things he says and he is living proof. Even I am seeing this manifest from my websites helping me to becoming an independent QA contractor again. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the below video…
"The first step before anybody else in the world believes it, is you have to believe it!"
"There is no easy way around it. No matter how talented you are, your talent is going to fail you if you are not skilled. If you don't study, if you don't work really hard and dedicate yourself to being better every single day, you'll never be able to communicate with people with your artistry the way that you want."
"If you are not making someone else's life better than you are wasting your time."
WEBSITE = RESUME?
One more thing you need to remember about your websites is that you never know who will visit and read your content. Not everyone who will visit is a buyer. Some might be business owners within your selected niche who just happen to have a job opening available. If they read your content and find it fresh and unique, they may offer you a job. It’s happened to other members here at WA and it just happened to me, which I mentioned in my blog from last week.
I view my websites as not only niche content websites but also a form of an online niche resume. If you are passionate about your niche and can portray that passion in your writing, who knows, you may get a job offer in addition to making money from your website. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IT!

Thanks for this Robert, now I can show this to the people who criticise me for staying up to all hours.... 'Will said...'
This is very true Robert! If we don't sound passionate about our niche and believe in ourselves then no one else will either. Thanks for sharing such an inspiring post and best wishes to you :) -Sherry
You are welcome Sherry. It's so true that we must be passionate about our niches because how can we convince our readers of it unless we know everything there is to know about it, within reason of course. Unfortunately too many are choosing niches based on what they think they can make from it instead of what they know about it. That's the wrong way to choose a niche. Even Kyle says so.
Its true. This is our work that we have put in and can be a representation of not only our knowledge on certain topics but also a representation of how dedicated and hard working we are.
Exactly! And it was because of one of my websites that a company approached me for a contract job with them. It just goes to show you that you never know who will be visiting and reading your website content.
You are welcome Della. Yes, this information and the inspirational quotes from the video are powerful information.
I am in the very rough draft stages of my site, to not only promote WA but also JAAXY. Today, I came up with some content. Is it perfect. No, but I am feeling great today, Because in my rough draft of my site, it's actually for me too. There are themes I am working on right now! SO yeah, I believe I can be a success with WA, and with Music. This is a great post which all members need to read!
I agree because too many people get discouraged too soon and don't believe in themselves and their journey. Success is a journey that you have to work long and hard for. You cannot stop believing in your journey because if you do you will fail and you will have no one to blame but yourself.
I have been writing song lyrics since I was 14 in 1984. In the last 2 years, I have been writing better than ever before. I review what I used to write, and what I write now! Am I a published song writer, I was in the past. but Yes, I have to believe in myself, Cause If I don't anyone can see through this easily! And it when it comes to LYRICS I believe in myself now 30 years later. I am also re-learning Keyboard/Piano and how to write music for this. SO yeah This is 100% True believe in yourself, and it will show! BIG TIME!
Like I said above with one of my favorite quotes in the video. "The first step before anybody else in the world believes it, is you have to believe it!"
I wholeheartedly agree that one must be passionate about their chosen niche in order to succeed. We all want to accrue some money from our website but we must also consider whether or not our chosen niche is something that we care for or merely a money making platform. I believe that the latter would cause much disappointment and result in a short lived fantasy.
You are absolutely correct Charlene. I see too many new members asking the question of what is the most profitable niche when, as Kyle says in the training, that any niche can be profitable if you build your content correctly. The best way to start at doing that is to be passionate about the niche you choose and to know a lot about it.
But too many go into this with dollar signs in their eyes and are missing the point of this all together. Again as Kyle says, you have to build a foundation, build confidence from your readers with good content, write often, share often, build traffic and only then can you start to think about monetizing. If you are serious about making money online you have to become skilled at your craft, as Will Smith says in the video.
You nailed it with this post Robert. I would say more, but I think you really captured it well.
Thank you James! I'm just so excited about the new business adventure on my horizon and the knowledge that I will soon be able to return to working from home every single day doing what I used to do.
When I came to WA I had a desire and the drive to build a great website...didn't expect to build 3. LOL But it put my passion and skill for my video game QA niche out there and now I will soon be returning to that line of work again because of someone who visited my website and liked what I was promoting.
So I hope everyone here will have success in some way with their websites, even if it's not with affiliate marketing. The first step is to believe in your future business and the next step is to work hard at making that belief a reality.
