Are you learning about your niche?
Do you ever hear about those jobs where you learn whilst you earn?
Well WA is one of those things except you don't earn to start with but the end goal is pretty awesome!
I have found that in the past 4 months I have not only learned about how to build a website and put links and embed youtube videos I have actually learned more about something I thought I knew a comfortable amount about.
For all the research that I have done into the writing the content that I have lined up for my site I have learned so much that now when I talk to people face to face I am so much more knowledgeable and able to answer their questions better. I feel more equipped for the field so to speak and this has given me much greater confidence talking about my subject as well as in general. I so think that I have a skip in my step and a new confidence.
I would say to anyone starting here with a niche choose something that you are passionate about because if you don't like it how much effort are you going to put in to learning about it and how much are you going to do with your new knowledge when you have written about it?
Choose wisely and have fun, learn and become a teacher in sharing what you know to help other people :-)

Yes, you want to know about whatever it is you are writing about, but it is crucial if you are doing it every day and you will simply run out of 'stuff' (knowledge, passion, clear understanding of the ins and outs, whatever...) to continue and that is a =horrible way to be viewed as a foolish person.

You don;t always have to know what you are talking about to explain something you have learned to someone else but it does help lol
Some people pick a niche because they think that they will earn more money with it or that the commission is a higher % There are many reasons, but I say have at least one niche, built over time, that you are happy about and participate in or with .

Yes, confidence does add an extra pep to your step!!! Outside of online research, I've gotten books from the library (can't beat FREE!!!) and recently subscribed to a magazine that will help me with expanding my knowledge of my niche. The magazine subscription really wasn't a necessity, but for only $24 for the year, that's a very low investment.
Yep, it pays to choose wisely!!!
I get loads of content ideas and headlines from magazines, I usually read them in the supermarket though lol
Hmmm.....more free reading, lol.
