Frustrated!!
A few weeks ago I thought that I had my niche all figured out. I started putting content on the site after building my framework and then something happened.... I really don't know what, but I felt that the niche I chose was not the right one to go with at this time.
For the past few days, I have been thinking of nothing else but a new niche. I have gone back and forth with a few ideas and just when I had one picked out, I would get sooooo excited and pumped for about 30 mins and then my head makes a couple 180 and I think... no I don't think I can pull that one off!
It's so frustrating because I feel I know a bit about a lot of things but I don't really know a lot about one thing.
I tried to go in another direction as well with an Amazon type store but I'm so confused and overthinking this whole thing.
Some days I want to give up and say screw it, but I think what I need to do is step back and try to organize my thoughts.
I think I'm trying to find my perfect success the first time out and I'm not sure it exists...that's what I have to come to terms with.

Thanks guys... i'm still thinking and doing research... I have something in mind that i'm hoping I can commit to.
Take a step back, take a deep breath. You're right, there is no perfect. Stop worrying about if YOU think you can pull it off. Nobody is an expert and knows everything about their niche. There is always new things to learn about everything.
Just find something you enjoy talking about so you won't have any problem working on your site. If Amazon products interest you, check this out: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/tj-books/blog/making-money-on-amazon-video.
I am very passionate about my niche but I too have days where I feel like walking away. It ok. I just take a few days off then and come back renewed.
Don't give up donna hang in there things will start coming together soon like you said just take a step back and think about your niche a little more and then come back again with it. :)
Stepping back does help. You may want to write up an pros and cons list to help with your decision. I don't think anyone knows quite everything about their chosen niche. It will require some research for some things and you have all types of resources available for that on the internet. I agree, don't beat yourself up on this. This isn't a race either, take your time with your decision.
Good luck and enjoy the upcoming week. :))
Hello Donna, don't beat yourself up. I'm sure most of us have been there. Oftentimes, great success comes from frequent setbacks. I was so confused about my niche as well. I just went with my first choice....and if needed, I can always tweak my website. Go with where your passion leads you. Don't over think it! Set your daily short term goals and you will feel great about accomplishing them. Before you know it, you will be proud of what you have created.
Donna,
Greetings, I can understand your frustration regarding the "Perfect" niche. It drove me crazy long before I joined WA and continued on even after I went Premium.
When I 1st came to WA I had some tech background but I had always been scammed in the past, so rather than get all upset about finding a niche I decided to learn the craft.
By that I mean I took the Affiliate BootCamp route which was a pre chosen very competitive niche you have to make work. That is where the WA education really kicks in.
You learn step by step from Kyle what it takes to become an "Authority Figure" within this Making Money Safely Online niche.
It does not happen overnight, it takes time, patience, trial and error the same as for any other niche but this route eliminates a lot of the preliminaries for you is all. Though I did still catch myself researching the niche a bit later on.
I hope this does not further confuse, it is not my intent, I simply wanted to share what has worked out awesome for me.
My best to your success,
Gary
I Gary. i like your post. I did exact;y the same. Learning within the confines of a chosen niche for me was about learning. I have another niche I want to develop
My other thought is that in some ways I don't think it matters what you choose as long as you can enjoy it and it has enough scope to be successful. Just make your decision and stick with it 6 months or a year and then you can try something else,
Just my initial thought. Good luck.
It is as life is, complicated. Don't complicate things. Relax, stay focused and committed to one thing at a time. No niche is perfect, just as life is not perfect. Finish one site at a time.
Stay focused and committed.
Your friend,
James

I received a bit of advice not long ago, like you I know a little about a lot of things. If you read 5 books on any subject you'll know more about it than 95% of the population. That was a mind bender for me and opened up so many options. You'll get there, just take the advice from everyone else here, they've already been where you are now (including me!) :)
