GREAT ADVICE. There is so much in your Niche, just carve your corner and GO FOR IT. The only wrong thing is DOING NOTHING or SLOWING DOWN.

I am leaving WA because we are an established business and we need to play BIG.

For you... I say...

HIT IT and Don't QUIT IT.

Wow! Thanks everyone for the inspiration!

Off I go again, with a pat on the butt and a lunch in my hand!

As @RBWade has already said, the best way to create a successful niche is to differentiate yourself from that of all the other health websites out there. What speaks to you? What do you think of when you think: health? Your personal journey in life should come as inspiration for your product/service. In writing (I'm a writer), you're told to "write what you know." The same principle applies here. You write what you know, and try and gauge the market to see if the content you produce is what the people want. Draw from your own personal experiences and that which you have the most knowledge of. For example: Instead of writing about weight loss in general, specify "weight loss for new mothers," or "pH Diet Plan: Lose Weight In 8 Weeks By Balancing Your Alkalinity."
Narrowing your niche market is the key to specialization--which has the added benefit of your being the sole expert/one of the few experts in your field, and you become a sought-after commodity! Here are some examples from "Laptop Millionaire," by Mark Anastasi, in regards to how one might specialize in their chosen field:

-The marketing consultant for printing companies.
-The property coach for U.S. physicians.
-The relationship coach for single career women.
-The life coach for advertising executives.
-The business coach for massage therapists.
-The expert for landlords with HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation).
-The wealth coach for black women.
-The marketing expert for fitness instructors.
-The marketing coach for musicians.
-The copywriter for Neuro-Linguistic Programmers (NLP) and coaches.
-The search engine optimization expert for U.K. tradesmen (carpenters, plumbers, and so on).
-The director of a golf camp for women.
-The quit-smoking-in-one-session NLP therapist.
-The Twitter queen who helps people make money using Twitter.
-The webinar expert who shows people how to grow their businesses using webinars.
-The blogging expert who helps people make money by blogging.
-The mobile home guru.
-The chiropractor who changed his branding to become the back-pain expert for U.S. executives.
-The reflexologist who changed her branding to become an “arthritis natural remedy expert” in Montreal, Canada.
-The personal trainer who changed his branding message to “The 10-Week Total Body Transformation Expert for Executives Who Are Outstanding in the Boardroom and Only Average in the Bedroom!”

Hi Cynthia. Great start to your website. As you know there are a lot of Health and Wellness website. I think the key is to differentiate yourself somehow or come up with a "brand." Perhaps your 8 Weeks to Health program is it. If so, you should feature that predominantly on your first page of your site. Unfortunately, most people trying to lose weight are looking for a quick solution so the 8 Weeks program may appeal to them. Also, think of a catchy slogan, name or tagline. After all, marketing is key and it makes marketing much easier if you can do that. Good luck to you going forward.

Thinks about what your visitors see when they come to your website. Maybe start checking out other website to get a idea of what you want your website to look to your visitors. Good job.....keep moving forward

I am not sure if it is too vague, but it is intimidating to choose the topic of that first post! Choose something that you are most passionate about, it will make the writing process smoother and more fun.

I am just starting my 5th post, and I am here because I am procrastinating starting it..but once I get started it will be easy.
