Yay! Progress! I've finally created my first site and am working through the set-up process.
Right now, my two main challenges consist of juggling my time and trying to define my niche. I'll talk about the time challenge in a different blog post. As for my niche, I had originally settled on portable, fuel-efficient cooking.
However, I do realize that this would have to be part of a particular lifestyle (more than one, in fact), so it may be better to broaden the niche to meet the needs of the target lifestyle. Ultimately, that begs a few questions:
Who would be the market?
- Digital nomads
- Off-gridders, preppers and DIY:ers
- People interested in the nomad/vagabond lifestyle
- Post-GenY:ers seeking a financially free and sustainable lifestyle (think Firecracker & Wanderer of the Millenial Revolution blog)
- People interested in lifestyle design

Which topics could be appropriate?
- Fuel-free cooking (eg. solar cooking)
- Ultra-efficient cooking (eg. thermal cooking, rocket stoves, etc.)
- Human-powered tools and how to use them
- Portable hydration (portable water filters, water bottles, water collectors, etc.)
- Ultralight travel
- Portable hygiene solutions (portable washing, food preservation, etc.)
- Portable, "use-what-you-have" power (portable solar panels and portable wind/water/heat generators)
- Performance/Health optimization
- Mobile work and working off-grid
- Smart ways to fund your lifestyle
I won't make a final decision on these topics yet. Rather, I'm thinking of starting with one or two and essentially letting them evolve over time.
Time to dive in!
