I am lost at how to go about my niche
I have been doing my training sessions and moving forwrad with my website but the posts have been only blogs( reading material).
With that being said my niche is bringing facts to my community about the corrupt justice system and programming(which we lack) for at risk teens.
I don't know what more to do aside from telling the truth(blogging). Ultimately I want to use page to generate money but i don't know how to do it with this particular niche i am at a standstill. What should I do??
I wanted to learn how to build my own website so that i can get locals imformative of the unjust and no funding for programs needed as well as being able to make a side income to.
Can someone please give me some advice and point me in the right direction??

I agree with the other earlier comments that this is a challenging niche. But still doable if there is strategy you can put in place.
First of all, monetization of this type of niche site would be very subtle. And before you start monetize it, you need to get decent traffic.
I would approach it this way:
1. Do some keyword research and see if there are keywords related to your niche you can start writing on. You need to pick keywords that are being searched on the internet otherwise getting traffic will be challenging.
2. Try to capture your readers into your email list and engage them through sharing your posts.
3. Once you have plenty of articles on your site and you can see some traffic flow in, it's time to monetize it with Google adsense and subtly promote items that related to your posts e.g. books, courses, ebooks.
4. You may also consider in future to ask people to make donation to support your course. I believe if you have followers, you can have this done. Start engage with people by creating Facebook page, join Facebook group in the same niche.
Hope that helps a bit.

That's genius!! I will get started on that fb page.
What's crazy is, I thought about that but thought that (fb page) it would be pointless and or wasted time and effort to do so.
😁But seeing that someone actually got what I meant and understood exactly where I was coming from as well as the importance of it is awesome.
I will keep you posted on how things go .thanks for all the great tips
This community definitely has given me that "WOW" factor since coming on board. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you kind sir :)

Hey Virginia. Like Sondra just mentioned, this is always a difficult topic to discuss because no one wants you to get away from going after your passion.
But the reality is, we're here to not only help people, but also to make money. And I've always said it's hard to help people if you're unable to help yourself.
So unless you can find a way to monetize your passion for educating people on the corrupt nature of our justice system, I would probably focus on something else.
Now i'm sure there are ways you can make money from this passion, you just have to be a bit creative with it.
Again, I don't want to be that person to take you away from your passion. Just want you to understand that making money for yourself will help strengthen your passion for educating people about injustice.
I hope this helps.

No offense taken. Thanks for the factual feed back.
I've learned that until I get out of my comfort zone I will not continue to grow and from my life experiences thus far I know it to be true.
With that being said I need peeps from the outside looking in at all angles to keep me motivated in different ways... does that make sense??
Your feedback is crucial because it gives me more insight to strategizing in different areas surrounding my niche. so no need for apologies for feedback. I asked for it. ya know.
I believe I have many challenges ahead of me but I am willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. The issues are real and its long overdue. just another stepping stone ya know?
Where there's a will there is a way, right??
Thank ya, Thank ya, for your words of wisdom please keep'em coming.

Jadatherapy and SondraM yall are absolutely amazing !!!! I like it all!! I thought about a video on you tube as well but didn't know how to incorporate it?
if you understand what I am saying?
I had a mentoring program that a few friends and myself Started a few years back but after trying to get funding from the community through council meetings fundraisers and the likes we stayed funding it our selves until we couldn't afford it anymore.
The teens were pretty tore up about it and no one helped. most of us were felons. The brains of it was a 22 year old female that had been through the most as most of had but her biggest obstacle was here father being deported and her stepping up to the plate to help take care of her mother and lil brother
She worked in the school district and with juveniles in the system as well as kids in jubilee ( juvie camp) for incarcerated teens to where she ran the only teen shelter we have here.
I am giving you this info because she has nothing to do with tit anymore. I can't go into it but it was something you only see in the movies.. for real. and her giving up or letting go wasnt because she chose to.
never having a record or an individual that had no run ins with law enforcement but to sign a teeen into the shelter, she just went on about her life in a whole different direction.
In the short amount of time it took us to help them and attempt to guide them in the right direction by telling them our horror stories of gangs, drugs, being poor, being a ward of the state (foster homes) to juvie, jail, prison, the streets, ect., our point got across to them making a huge impact on them.
Not one of them re offended , destroyed public property, go back into juvenile detention ever since. ITs like this town doesnt want whats best for the people only for the credit they will get for doing illegal shit to poor folks.
i've been to the state and testified against my county once and got interviewed by npr and many others, NOw all that said I have made monster moves in my town with the aclu and oxford house inc I am a felon so I can't do a lot of things I d like and that working with at risk youth because of it..
My town has suffocated me and thrown me to the wolves since the age of 6. I am going no where because some one has got to stand up to them. I am in so many places with this niche that is consumed me my whole life.
I am taking the steps necessary to be able to get record expunged sealed or whatever but there are things that need to be done now and if i wait any longer my own children may fall victim to it.
So should I go rosa parks on em , michelle obama or loose ass oprah??? I have ex corrections officers , government staff that are behind me, but unless there are more from the outside looking it will take even longer
so should I interview the teens that were in the program, should I make a questionnaire to take into schools and or ask door to door to ask teens what their opinion is.
Even Though I was out of control during my adolescence there were still places we could go that would detour us from getting in trouble where as now there is not one unless you have money.
yet the system states that the crime rate has gone up because of teen this and that yet they are making no efforts to be apart of the solution instead they want to incarcerate teens and harass others like dude even in their minutes from city council it says so much that the average person wouldn't know because no one attends them let alone reads what was spoke on aside from those with criminal records.
There are no programs available and our town is one of the riches in america by them selves!! thats one of a tri county town!! they literally set u up for failure and its been proven, somethings got to give.
THanks ladies its much appreciated.

I feel your passion and I can also feel that you are becoming overwhelmed by it all.
I have sent you a private message
Hi. The cause you are focusing on is very admirable. I'm a bit torn on how to best advise you. On one hand, your message is so important, do you want to distract people by sending them off shopping?
Yet on other hand it takes money to pursue any charitable or educational endeavor. That is why the largest non profits have a very robust fund raising component.
If you do try to generate revenue with this site, I would focus on products that inspire people and give people hope.
