Help!. Should I Change My Niche?
So I'm building my website here with a niche I know plenty about but my skills are plenty and I'm tapping into as much of them as I am permitted.
While I am here, I often venture outside and pursue a various interest. I have been promoting my music for free on Number One Music Platform where fans have been downloading my music and follow my radio station.
While doing that, it has been brought to my attention, Every Morning, and Several times a day, I realized, through the messages I have been getting that people actually don't want my music free.
They want to buy it!!!
Which is exciting and weird at the same time? I am beginning to wonder if I should create a website here in WA and embed my music on it, listing it for sale?
I have been getting some Absolutely Grand feedback.
Like... " 'Head Quarters' this is the best one I heard on N1M so far, don't forget to let me know about any music updates there!!!" -Efrain Wetzel
and... "You are different than the music you hear on mainstream platforms"-Den Walker
even... "While I'm thankful for your music here on numberonemusic I want to pay for the album on iTunes you deserve my money. Im gonna search for it right now. Love, peace and joy!" -Alison, 4rm Texas!
and... "Hi, LINDA89 FM RADIO How do I buy your song "Head Quarters" on here?" - Georgia, UK
I received 78 similar messages, so yeah, that's exciting too.
I uploaded three songs on the Free Plan and promoted only One song. called "Head Quarters". It's the one I want to use for the theme song of the video game that I'm building.
Also, the track that people are asking me to buy. The issue is that in order for me to sell my songs, they want an EP. Which I haven't compiled yet., ( My singles are on SoundCloud, Never intended on selling my music.).
N1M short for Number One Music has the best platform for selling, promoting, and building a fan base that I have had the pleasure of joining. (Haven't upgraded yet).
This is my delema., There are three interests that I am pursuing, and they still cost something
1. Wealthy Affiliate Program - I joined because I love the training and atmosphere and for many obvious reasons you all are familiar with if your Premium. Costs an easy $49.99 monthly, saves me money by going yearly, even better (on my future educational investment strategy.) :-D
2. N1M - I WAS promoting my radio station on there but people want to buy my music. An easy $99.00 a year upgraded, I can sell my music to whoever wants to buy it. I could upload multiple recordings, get licensing and collect royalties, plus my music will be played on other radio stations besides my own, plus free promo, plus iTunes and Amazon listings... I could go on... :O
3. LINDA89 FM RADIO- Can't spin, cause I hurt my wrist, Stopped the Station until My wrist heals. :-/... Costs $99.00 monthly, It's licensed nationwide if I want worldwide, I have to upgrade, $187.monthly. I can play mainstream artists, they can collect royalties, I can earn from commercial advertising, I can play whatever I want, And its My Radio Station.
Most people would be like, " Upgrade girl... Make yo' money honey!!!" Or, "Damn girl, that should be an easy decision."
But I'm like, "Which one??? I never intended on making ANY money selling my music, they're over-extended instrumentals for goodness sakes, plus I love to write, build websites, working with code, and helping people."
I was playing around when I made them and the ones that I sang to were unmastered and freestyled from the top of my head. Just uploaded for fun. So why am I overwhelmed?
It's because I can only Fully pursue One subject at a time. So which one should I upgrade?

I am not sure on to help you out with this one because I don't know what all it would take to start selling music. If it was me I would break down both see what they would take to make it and figure out which you want more.
Yes, people want to buy my music, like now. So I upgraded my account on that platform I made reference to. If I sell my music, I'll have an extra income right away. I have lots of music. All original.
But I never intended in making any profit from it. But if I can, I don't see why I shouldn't take advantage... It is kind if spontaneous... ???? It's too late now.. U already upgraded... Now I will see how much people really like my music. They will be able to buy it right off of the Site in that platform.
You have talent. Find a way to build on this. I do not understand music sites enough to help you but I do encourage you to find a way to monetize your talent. Continue having fun in life. Cheers, Nicole
I know good things when I see them, and boy do I take advantage of as many opportunities as possible. Heck yeah! I wonder if I have a disability at times? Lol
I have written a few blogs about my "off-campus" experiences and I'm working on combining and updating my portfolio, however, it seems that my outside WA endeavors are doing way better than my inside ones.
My outside WA Success Posts don't come off well. Like people could care less, about Linda's success... Right? But who cares about what Linda does? Or has done? Or Is doing? Right?
That's just here... :)
The niche website that I built here, That's Love For You, and my content is doing pretty good. I'm Actually helping people there. Putting smiles on once tear-streaked faces. Showing these saddened hearts that there is ALWAYS something to be happy about.
So what I don't get a lot of likes or comments here on my blog posts. I get them on my site, and every other place I share my accomplishments. That's because people probably thinking "If you're doing so great and so successful in your ventures, then why are you here?"
Although most of my success is off of the WA platform, I must admit that The Wealthy Affiliates Network has played a Gigantic part in my current success and interests.
Like I said in my first blog post, I am Not New here. Technically my 2nd year... So I'm the familiar and awesome support that I received them before in my first account here... Having to re-create my account then rejoining... I can feel a big difference on reception.
And compared to my last account, where I had SO MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT & SUPPORT. because I was a beginner??? Now I returned, with MORE skills than I left with?
Now, even though my WA blog posts may fall on deaf ears. I don't care. ;)
My progress can't be stopped.... only by me... If I start doubting myself because of a few haters, who maybe Not even hating, it depends on the way I look at it.
Bottom line, A lot of people wish they could do what I could do. I don't need just because I d enough of that myself and what kind of example will I set for my children and grandchildren?
I'm leaving a humongous legacy for them! Not just them...
I have a helluva interesting story to tell... apparently, It's for a select few of interested parties.
I STILL wish Everyone the best of success in their journey or journeys that they undertake.
Just wanted to share this thought... Probably Shouldn't have shared it here... But oh well, chances are hardly anyone is going to read it.
I should have written this somewhere else...
People don't understand that Everything I do, I have a HUGE reason to do them. Combining my talents to be better, Yes, I am confident that I can be successful with all of my ventures and interests.
Plus, this is the kind of multi-tasking that Jay, was Saying that we SHOULD NOT do... I was actually embarrassed to say anything because I was ALREADY FULL SWING NECK DEEP from multitasking. :-) Lol, hence today's blog post.
If you would like to see what I'm talking about, message me. I will be happy to elaborate. Just to get some decision-making help.:/

Perhaps try to do both. If it is not doable, then make a choice...
Thinking about it...
