Money vs Passion

Hey guys, so I am wondering what would be the best thing to do- I have been wondering about this for a while and would really like some input.

I thought I'd post this on my blog also so I can get some more feedback on this :)

I love the affiliate bootcamp, but wow internet marketing can be a bit of a bore sometimes. SEO and other stuff hardly gets me excited at the moment. It's taking me a long while to make blog posts as I have to do a lot of research.

My real passion in life is... yeah it's weird - Taxidermy!

I have been a taxidermist since 2010 and I LOVE it. I am always sharing information and suppliers with people online and have been asked many times if I would consider offering lessons physically and also online.

I can think of a thousand and one topics I could talk about and I just want to post about everything!

I think my worry is that there is not a big enough market or audience for it. I already make money off of my taxidermy, but I'm not even sure if it's a profitable niche at all.

I think the reason I went with the affiliate bootcamp is that it is step-by-step.

If I did a taxidermy website I would do book reviews, I would sell my own courses and ebooks.

There doesn't seem to be any affiliate programs for taxidermy though, so I think that's what put me off.

Ideas for a second niche site are reptiles and/or small pets.

Anyway, advice is VERY much appreciated!!

Thanks,

Matt
