So I have gotten stuck at the choosing a niche part of this process. However, I forged ahead anyway.. I chose to become a Premium member right away because I can see the value in this experience and how much work Kyle and others put into this themselves.

I love words and writing especially creative writing. I have a habit or a hobby of coming up with acronyms and years ago while trying to think of business ideas I made up an acronym for WOMAN. It stands for Word Of Mouth Advertising Nexus (this could also have been Network but I chose Nexus because it means bridge).

My funny dream then was for a man to go up to someone (maybe even with a business card) and say, "Hello. I work for WOMAN." But I could never figure out way back then, how I could make money with my idea. I feel like we all sell something or advertise something at the very least almost everyday. The minute you recommend a movie or a book or a restaurant to others, you are free advertising for that movie or book or restaurant and that is word of mouth. I still had no vision for my idea. Well now I feel closer to making that dream, that idea into a thing.

I really wanted the domain womandotcom. Thinking about it now, maybe I should have chosen the dot org option. I think it was still available. But I chose a long name for the domain and maybe it willl pay off in the long run.

I want to stick to life's basic needs with a niche. The French say we humans have to eat, drink and make love so why not be really good at those things. At least that's something I have read. Seems true that they do food and wine pretty well.

I think light is an important basic need for humans, plants and animals and we here in the Northwest where it rains a lot dont get enough light. And there is such a thing as light therapy because of SAD(seasonal affective disorder)plus a lot people don't just grow veggies here as Marijuana has been legalized.

A long time ago, I did some research on light because my (ex) husband is a cabinetmaker and once they made a huge mistake in color for a clients cabinets because their lighting was bad. I am sure the colors had a subtle difference but still it was not what the customer wanted and it cost them.

So the idea I am bouncing off you my fellow members is, shall I post my light research report and find an affiliate light company to add to my website? And if I do, is it ok to add other websites about different thing sother than light but still pertaining to my idea of basic human needs that could even include different waters like mineral, spring..etc.

The other website I made here is more personal and I just decided what to work on and published my first official post today. I woke up at 2am last night, worked on it until maybe 8 or 10 in the morning. I went back to bed for awhile and got up and worked some more..One of the reasons it took so long was because I was doing it from my phone..Mostly just to prove to myself that I could and had no excuse not to be working on things like that or doing the training. I may need to invest in a laptop(suggestions here, on a budget). Right now, while my son is at his father's, I am using his pc.

I need to continue the training. I am stuck at Jaxxy and keywords. But I remember when I had no clue what Jaxxy even was..I am feeling very grateful right now.

Am I supposed to ask people to go check out my first post on my website or even tell you the names of my websites? I guess if anyone is interested they can leave a comment. I wrote about my Dear Ellen Diary..in 2016 my marriage of almost 25 years ended and instead of going off the deep end I chose to write to Ellen like a diary. She has no clue she saved my life.So what I posted was the first 9 or 10 pages of that diary. It is honest and hopefully interesting and funny and inspirational.

Question: are tags like keywords? When you add tags to a post, are you choosing keywords from your post? Is there such thing as too many? I did not add any yet because I am not sure exactly what they are or what they mean....I never have. Catch me up..I am a little slow on the uptake. hah

Thank you for reading.

I still need direction on how to read and comment on others' posts for points or credits or whatever. I am ready to participate and learn more..

ps..chuckling to myself, because I don't have a problem with writing and probably could run into the problem of writing too much,,,or too much of the wrong stuff. I am very open to criticism and pointers and suggestion and direction.
