Can I cover lots of different niches on one website?
Can I cover lots of different niches on 1 website?
I hope that you are having a Great Whatever Friday.
A Niche Market is the subset of the market on which a specific product is focused. The market niche defines the product features aimed at satisfying specific market needs, as well as the price range, production quality and the demographics that is intended to impact. It is also a small market segment.
Can I cover lots of different niches on 1 website?
When I started Blogging last year, I hadn't came across the term Niche Marketing, yet.
It's just a fancy word for focused Marketing. If your main objective is to make money then you need a website/blog that is focusing on a Niche Market.
The learning curve on Online Niche Marketing can be overwhelming to someone starting out. There is years of information out there already and it increases on a daily bases.
Your Create, Your Own, Meaning of Life.
The most common problem I have noticed over the past year is that a lot of people start out with illusions that they would be discovered and accepted as an expert in their Niche under a year's time.
The average business takes 5yrs to become established. You take looks at the so called Online Experts and you will find that they all have been working at their Niche for 5+ years.
I gave you the link to them so you can compare this website/blog to that one.
What impressions do each of them give you?
Which one gives you more confidence in their information?
Which site would you recommend to a friend?
Why would you recommend the site to a friend?
If you are going to choose to do a website/blog that has a lot of different Niches on it, then I suggest you use one of the free platforms that is out there. The odds that you will make some money from the website/blog is against you.
Starting a website/blog with lots of different niches on it is a good place to gain experience.
For me I see each of my blog posts I have done and working on as an investment into my future.
A website/blog with lots of different niches on it is better than nothing.
A fruit tree won't grow to give you fruit if you don't 1st plant a seed.
Whatever Fridays-Are you 1 of these type of People?
Whatever Fridays-Are you 1 of these type of People?
I have never liked being Labeled and/or Stereotyped, but because I'm on the web and the social networks, I'm being Labeled and Stereotyped, and being viewed as 1 of these type of People by someone.
Are you 1 of these type of People?
Somethings are beyond my power to change.
We as humans need to put the people we cross paths with online into categories.
If we didn't, how else would we choose the people we want to spend our online time with?
The only Sure Bet In Life. Is Your Going to Die Someday. So Live Today like it's Your Last.
Most people that have crossed paths with me on the social networks that I know don't even realize that I'm in sales.
Can you tell that I'm in sales by reading my blog here?
Did you see my pop up? Did you move your mouse to X the thing out of the way or did you snort and go for the window X to leave?
I know when I go visiting somewhere online that if something pops up on me, I'm gone.
I don't care if what was on the page important or not. I'M GONE.
There are other places I can go to get nearly the same information without having to hunt for the X to get rid of the pop up(s).
I'm more than a Salesperson, I'm a Consumer, Just Like You.
Salespeople have always had a bad rap. I even got fired from a company once cause I sent a customer to another store cause the other store had what the customer was wanting and needing, and the company I worked for didn't have anything that was close to what the customer needed.
I shake my head and sigh at what I'm seeing online. I know they are just trying to make a living online like me, but their actions are showing me that they have never stopped to take a long look at their actions from the Customer's point of view.
How am I being Labeled by Others?
Oh, and I know I don't have much an influence on you; I'm just another voice trying to be heard over the masses. If you are one of those types of People asking yourself Why Haven't I made a Sale Online Yet? Then I suggest that you READ: You, Inc. by Harry Beckwith & Christine K. Clifford.
Have you already read it? Did you find it useful?
How did it help you?
Hope you are having a Great Whatever Friday. Hope you have an even Greater Weekend.
Whatever Fridays, I'm not looking to impress anyone!
Whatever Fridays, I'm not looking to impress anyone!
Actions will always speak louder than words.
So when I hear a person in any type of business say(write) those words.
It makes me lift a brow, and take a long hard look at the person.
For anyone in sales, be it on or offline.
First impressions have a big impact on the people you cross paths with.
People determine in the first 5 minutes if they like you or not, in face to face meetings.
I'm not looking to impress anyone!
Online people, click on your social profiles, your About Me Pages to determine if they want to spend their time to get to know you better or not.
They are looking for something that they have in common and can relate to you with.
Sales Pitches won't give them something to relate to you.
I will admit to playing to the 5 minute rule when it comes to business people.
I am out to impress a certain type of business people and marketers.
I have an attitude of :
I've been hearing that all my whole life, and as a child I was lucky enough to cross paths with a New York tycoon. He was old school, he had built his empire in the times of the great depression(1930's). It was him that really sunk that phrase into me.
My first impression of the man:
Just a Train Hopping Hobo.
Spinning a whopper of a tail, and I wasn't shy about telling him so either.
The man laughed at me and dug out his business card and handed it to me. Told me, my local library should have the book of Who's Who. I was a teen I really didn't care who the dust cover 3 piece suited guy was, I passed the business card to my father, told him whatever it was my mother wanted me to tell him, then headed off to do my thing.
My father was excited, and he dragged me to the library the next day so I could read the page in Who's Who about the man. I don't remember which store it was the man had built. It was one of the big named ones in New York, and there was no question it was indeed the man in the flesh since there was a picture of him in the book as well. So my father dragged me with him to the coffee shop to meet the man again.
I once meet and Old School, Businessman From New York.
The first question I asked the man, that if he was really worth millions why in Gods name was he Hoboing instead of traveling in style? He laughed.
To get back to my roots. To get a feel for the real world. To talk to the average Joe, learn what problems they are facing these days. I can't do that if I'm traveling in style.
Wonder if that Old Man crossed Paths with the guys Behind UnderCover Boss?
Being a teen I stuck my hand out to him asking to see his wallet. He laughed as he dug it out to hand it to me. For me it was a disappointment. He had some business cards and his I.D. There wasn't a single dollar bill in it or even a plastic credit card. I don't know what my face looked like when I looked up at him after I really dug around in his wallet in search for some cash, but it made him laugh.
So my next question of him was:
How was he getting by with an Empty Wallet?
He returned by asking me how much I thought the store owner would pay him to wash the windows or pick up the trash in the parking lot.
I shrugged my shoulders and told him I didn't know. He looked at my dad who answered it had to be worth a good twenty, which is something you need because our town has a vagrant law. He said as he took the man's wallet from me to give back to him.
He asked my father if he knew who the owner of the store was, dad pointed him out. I watched as the man stood up and headed off to talk to the store owner. He came back a few minutes later to take his suit jacket off and get busy washing the windows and picking up trash.
A ruined $3,000 Business Suit.
I've never been one that keeps up with fashion but I wanted to check out his suit. It had one of those high end labels and when he returned. I asked him how much the suit was worth. He smiled and said it was around 3,000.00.
He got a chuckle out of me telling him he was crazy for running around in such a good suit that he would certainly have to destroy when he got home, cause there is just some smells that won't come out, and I knew that he had crossed paths with a skunk. He then asked me what I learned. My face made him laugh again. Cause I bet like you, I didn't get the question. And the question wasn't about me checking out his suit. Once he stopped laughing he explain it to me.
While I was washing the windows and picking up trash what did you see?
Just a man working
A man working. Is what I replied and he smiled at me, as he waved the twenty dollar bill in front of him. If you remember I asked him how he was getting by without money.
He again asked me what did I learn? I shrugged my shoulders at him.
There are jobs all around you, if you bother to look. Look out the window and tell me if you see how you can make some money, just like I did. That time I laughed at him.
I'm not going to go out there and pick up trash.
Why not? I did it, Why can't you? What makes you any different from me? is what he asked me.
Your worth millions I'm not. Was what I told him, he smiled and chuckled at me and said one word to me before he sipped on his tea and chatted with my father.
Pride.
Pride. It's having a Vacation.
Many times over the years I have sent my Pride on a Vacation.
Reminding myself of that old Business Tycoon from New York.
So with my story coming to an end.
I can tell you that I have only found Two Men, so far,
that are busy leading by their actions instead of words.
Gary Vaynerchuk.
Corey Franklin.
Do you know of any others that are out there leading with their actions instead of words?
I know there has got to be more than just these two, and I could sure use your help in becoming aware of them.
I hope that you are having a Great Whatever Friday.
Being a jack of all trades, master of none does not put money in your pocket !
That saying makes me laugh these days.
I'm laughing cause' I've been hearing it a lot lately.
Each one of the people that have said that to me happen to have been a male.
I will not place their names here, but I will thank them for their words.
For pissing me off. I needed that anger.
If a mother is not a Jack of all Trades, then what is she supposed to be?
The only dang thing I will claim to be a Master of Being;is a Mother.
It's the only thing in my life that I am confident about.
I'm sorry guys, but your words would have more meaning if it was being said by a woman.
But then it would of had an actual impact on me last month. Now I just have to laugh.
Words are considered truth until someone can come along and prove the people preaching the words to be false.
Is a Jack of all trades going to make big amounts of money like someone who is seen as a Master?
NO, they aren't.

1. Online Marketing

3. Web Marketing
4. Digital Marketing
5. Search Engine Marketing
6. Network Marketing

One can not help but feel like they are chasing the Chicken. I just noticed I missed a couple of other options, but I think what is already there is more then enough for you to get the picture.
My Blog is titled What's Next? The Future. I got a better idea about how I'm going to get where I want to be, than I did yesterday, and tomorrow I will have an even a better plan on how to get where I'm going.
There is no right way, or wrong way. There is just the way that works for you.
Do I recommend for you to try being a Jack of all trades?
No! I don't recommend it if your main objective is to make money.
Do I recommend a Marketer just starting out to start with a blog? No!!!
The really good blogs are using all the Marketing options I mention above.
Hope you are having a Great Whatever Friday. Hope you have an even Greater Weekend.
