Hi Rudy,

Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely make sure to check for plagiarism before posting. I appreciate the tip!

Best regards,
Peter

You're welcome.

I did a check on this post and found a high level of plagiarism. 89% on just the first 480 words.

That's pretty high.

Rudy

Thank you, Rudy.
I appreciate your feedback. This is a practice post, as I am making my first attempt at blogging. Your advice is invaluable, and I am grateful for your guidance.

Being passionate about a niche or at least really want to learn more about one will keep us interested in wanting to move forward with it Peter!

Great post my friend and all the very best for the future! :-)

Hi Jessie,

Absolutely, passion and a desire to learn are key to moving forward successfully. Thanks for the kind words and support! Wishing you my friend all the best in your journey as well. Keep pushing forward for success.

Best regards,

They are indeed my friend and very much appreciated! :-)

Nice post, Peter!

It supports all the teaching here at WA!

Most new people here in WA search for a niche they think will be the most profitable instead of a niche they are passionate about. If they are passionate about it, others are likely to be, too.

Jaaxy has been a valued tool for my keyword research since 2014. It's the tool I use to support other research regarding keyword choices.

Thank you!

Press on, Sir!

Hi Howard,

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! I completely agree—passion for a niche often leads to better results and more genuine connections. It’s great to hear how Jaaxy has been a valuable tool for your keyword research; it’s always helpful to have reliable resources.

I appreciate your support and encouragement. Let’s keep pushing forward and making the most of our journey!

Best regards,
Peter

Yes, Sir. Thanks, Peter!
