Did You Ever Face the Passion vs Profit Dilemma When Choosing Your Niche?

Hi everyone,

This is an eternal debate in the creator's world: the good old passion vs profit battle. It is one that a lot has been written and said about, and now it's my turn.

A lot of us faced it sooner or later in our business journey. We want to choose something we love, but we also want something we can turn into a full-time job.

I chose to write about golf balls purely because of my big passion for golf. I felt really lucky I could do so. But later on, I did venture into some short-lived and failed attempts of pursuing more lucrative niches. Those were invaluable lessons that I should not do something based solely on a potential high income, and I am glad I went through that.

How about you?

Did you ever face the passion vs profit dilemma when choosing your niche?

Which route did you ultimately take, and how is it working out for you?

Thanks for reading,

Dan
