do you have zero experience?
ARE YOU ENTERING A NICHE IN WHICH YOU HAVE ZERO EXPERIENCE?
Good. Actually, great! Here’s what you do…
Start a blog. From day 1, explain that you know nothing about (your new topic such as cooking) but you’re on a quest to learn (a specific outcome or goal, like how to make the world’s best pancakes) and invite the reader to make the journey with you.
Now start reading about your topic.
Buy and use the products in your niche. Write about what you learn, and tell about your experience with the products.
Recommend the good ones. Once you’ve got a dozen or more blogposts, start asking experts in the niche for interviews.
If you’re too shy or nervous at first, you can start with email interviews and work your way up to audio interviews.
You become the researcher / reporter, and you let the experts handle the heaving lifting.
In 1-5 years? Now YOU’RE the expert.
And you never had to lie about knowing stuff you didn’t know when you got started. In fact, you got to be honest, truthful and yourself the entire time.
And you’ve built a tremendous rapport with your audience who very much feel you’re just like them.
When you use this formula, your readers will trust you and they’ll act on your advice, whether that’s to buy an affiliate product you recommend, buy your own products or eventually let you coach them.
Enjoy!

Hi Rob, Rally like this blog as I have been wondering how I would be accepted on my niche without being an expert at anything. I will follow the steps as outlined Nd if okay follow you too.
Thank you, John, when it comes to a niche you really should find something that really interests you, then it doesn't feel like hard work as you will get enjoyment and will encourage you to take it further :)
I LIKE this and it actually answers some of the questions many WAers have about this subject!
I hope everyone sees this blog!

Yes I have the same problems but I have found that if you stop thinking to much about things and just dive in and do it you will feel better and make progress and gain confidence, at the end of the day confidence is the key :)
I do believe that's the best way to do it. I'm working up the courage to do some interviews, myself. I was planning to start with email interviews, as you suggested. I was thinking about doing a "10 questions" style interview, where I would pose 10 (or some random number) of open-ended questions for my subject to answer and return to me.
Great post, Robby!
