Hi, my name's Mark
Here's all about me in 10 points.
# 1
I was born in South Africa. I've also lived in London, Barcelona, and Auckland. I've lived in Sydney, Australia for the last 20 years.
# 2
I’ve been a school teacher,worked in medical and real estate sales, was a luxury cruise ship host, gym Instructor, and corporate coach and trainer.
# 3
I currently work part time while working on achieving my goal here, creating enough passive income to let the part time job go.
# 4
My number one passion is travel and freedom from having to do what I choose not to do. My number one priority to achieve this - achieve my goal here.
# 5
Other passions include health and fitness, total immersion swimming, yoga and enjoying interesting philosophical discussions with like-minded friends
# 6
I've been a member here since December 2016. It's taken me a while and lots of learning about myself. Life has also got in the way a few times but once I decide to do something I never give up. Still going...
# 7
My biggest lessons here include - creating a successful business takes as long as it needs to take until you're ready to be successful, I'm doing the best I can right now otherwise I'd be doing it differently, most of your time should be spent creating and promoting content for your website.
# 8
One of the best and most helpful books I've read, recommend, and still use today to be mega focused and productive is, 'The One Thing' by Gary Keller
# 9
The best advice I can pass on to others - Focus on one project at a time, complete the training, create as much quality content on your website as you can, promote your content all the time, don't focus on your WA rank as a priority since it's not your business priority.
# 10
Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I'm not saying I'll answer immediately or that I'll necessarily will be able to help but I'll always give it a go. Take care, keep smiling and don't ever give up that which is important to you.

I hope things are going well. I know you are getting rolling within the training and there is ONE thing that always tends to confuse people and that is "what is my niche?".
I know, same thing happened to me when I started.
I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am here if you ever want to run any niche "ideas" by me or you have any questions about finding your niche.
Get back to me when you get the chance! :)

Hi Frank,
You must have read my mind. Have been trying to figure this out since starting this lesson because while I know there are lots of niches, many of them don't make money and I don't want to waste time on these.
In my opinion getting the niche right is important if your hard work is going to pay off. What do you think about any of these? Insomnia ( I hear desperation type niches are good but are they not too competitive for a beginner?), fitness trackers, law of attraction. They are all a bit diverse. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Frank,
Man this niche thing has been a bit tormenting.
Can you tell me what you think of this niche - unique gifts for men.
The QSR is 229. Can't buy that actual domain as it's up for auction but could get uniquegiftsformenhere.com.
Google Trends show a spike every December otherwise it's kind of low. Is this a problem? I am guessing this is more of a micro niche. Is it too narrow?
There are a few affiliate programmes apart from Amazon. I'm not exactly sure what I'd write blog posts about? Also are shoppers likely to go to an actual online store selling gifts than a blog?
Thanks for your advice here Frankl. I'll wait to hear from you before I continue and in the mean time I'll look for alternatives.
Cheers

Sounds like it is a seasonal niche going by what you said about Google trends.
You'd be better off finding a niche where products are evergreen, which means they are sold year round.
In my experience it is interesting how folks shop online. If they are looking for reviews on certain products and come across your review, then there is a very high chance that you'll get the commission off of it, especially if it's an Amazon product.
I developed an exercise that might help you to clarify the direction of your niche.
Be sure to do all four exercises.
Here's the link.

Let me know if you have any questions / feedback on the exercise.
Hope that helps. :)
Best,
Frank

Welcome Mark, to Wealthy Affiliates and thanks for accepting my invitation to check it out.
There's a lot to learn here, the best place to start would be the level 1 certification course. So start with the first lesson by clicking on the link below. Online Entrepreneur Certification - Getting Started (Level 1) Be sure to create a profile and add a picture, that way you'll get lots of help from all the peeps in WA. You'll find out how to do this in the getting started link above.
Sadly some people don't even get this far, for some unknown reason.
If you can do this, (i.e.) follow simple instructions, (implementing as you go), soon you will be on your way to making your first sale.
And don't forget that you can also access me for 1-on-1 support by leaving a message on my profile https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/affilicoach or by private message if you are a premium member.
There are a ton of other features you have access to right now, but they are explained in your main training linked above. Your #1 job right now is to get to lesson 1!
★ ★ ★ Access Your Bonuses! ★ ★ ★
I also wanted to let you know that if you join the premium membership in this 7 day window you'll get a TON of awesome stuff from me.
First off, you'll get a 59% discount ($19.95 for 1 month) on your membership.
☆ ☆ Bonus #1: Live Case Study 5 Part Webinar Series
Get access to a 4-Part-Series Live Case Study webinar. It's video series where a professional internet marketer creates a complete 'niche website'. All steps are included and thoroughly explained, including research, rank, content creation and monetization. Total length of the videos is 4+ hours
This will give you a broad overview of the type of site you will create on Wealthy Affiliate. I think it's always a good idea to know the direction you are headed before you start your journey.
Please feel free to ask questions in the community through live chat or the Getting started classroom above. Or as I mentioned before, hit me up anytime you want in WA.
Anyway, I know you'd be eager to have a browse around so I'll let you get your feet wet.
Best of luck, and don't forget you can always ask me for help!
