Week 2 - Still are not satisfied with my niche.
I am a premium member now and in Course 2 where I have to fill my website with content.
My real problem is to stick to a niche. Today this, yesterday that. Nothing really makes me 'happy'!
When I thought I found my niche I look thing up and feel I am just copying stuff that is already there and I don't like this.
So I was thinking: 'what do I do all day that motivates me, makes me happy?'.
And then I found a possible answer: I am talking a lot to my neighbour, telling him about facts and story's I found online or heard about or saw on TV. I am constantly reading the news about everything.
So in short, I am not an expert in anything, but know quite a bit about almost everything.
Could this be my niche?
Could my niche be about Sports, Finances, Home, etc. that I want to share with everybody but have only shared with my family and friends so far.
Here on example:
My now three year old learned about a year ago how to unlock doors and I had a hard time finding the right thing to lock the door safely. I searched everything online but could not find anything expect the expensive plastic door locks from the known name brands.
But the solution was way more simple and I found it later across the door at the home improvement store: it's a simple door lock called Flip Action Door Lock.
Here another example:
Every year i fly to germany to my parents - with wife and kids. There are so many things we learned the hard way that we didn't think about before, like purchasing a portable backup battery for the tablet or phone that my kid can play with.
I search for "preparation for long flight" but not really useful expect from bring toys.
I guess you know what I am talking about.
Could this work if let's say I post at least one blog a day?
Of course I have in mind the keywords and search for low competition keyword or currently hot search topics.
I am really serious about it and want to spend time with the site every day.
Thanks for your honest opinions.

thofue, you sound like me. I looked for a way to connect all that I loved with basically doing just what you want - being happy. There is a book called Mindfulness, by Ellen Langer - it was written in 1989 but, as I was looking through Amazon, I noticed many more books on Mindfulness. Maybe this might help you. You might be able to find a book/theory to tie all in so that it feels comfortable to the reader. Did that make sense?

If could find no solution to problem probably a safe bet you found potential pot of Gold. Make a eCommerce site and offer to sell Flip Action Door Lock. Price with nice overhead and offer free shipping if over $50 or $100.
the price of this lock is $2 a piece so probably not earning me a fortune haha. But I guess not every blog must be an ad related blog, as long as it brings traffic.
It sounds like a good idea, your niche could be "how to deal with lifes small problems" or "stuff everybody should know" It's hard to place this amount of information into a niche, because it can be about anything and everything, but I like the idea.
