(bolding mine) Many people feel that all the good ideas are taken or that they are earning just a fraction of what is needed to make a full time income online and it is natural to look inwards at times and question your own commitment and ability to come out the other side of a long road, and it is a long road. Granted there are large success stories that have surged in a short period of time but aside from them, the majority of webmasters should be prepared for a 12-24 month investment before seeing good financial rewards from their website or blog.

It means that you should identify some topic of interest with which you have personal experience and insight that others will find valuable. What is your day job? What hobbies to you have? Do you know anything about sports? What captures your interest? The point of all this is that if you want to be an entrepreneur for the sake of being an entrepreneur, then you have a very steep uphill battle ahead of you. Too many people buzzing around this field are looking for the quick fix, which is virtually inexistant. Success takes hard work, passion and dedication. Quick fixes require all the luck in the world. “Find a niche” doesn’t mean “go out there and find a narrow subject that can be dominated and monetized”.

If you think in the way, that even though if you get a low traffic but it is helping some really needy guy with the kind of information you are proving in your blog then I feel that you are the winner. Traffic will come eventually and you will also be making some money out of it but if you are sincere in your effort you will be remembered in the hearts of millions. Sounds philosophical! our motto should be "do your work sincerely, you will surely get rewarded". I am a new entrant in the Blogging field and my blog http://itjobsdelhi.blogspot.com is getting less then 300 hits per day and although the earning is negligible but I am satisfied that the information is helping some needy person. Blogging should be a passion. Tushar Lal (http://itjobsdelhi.blogspot.com) Hi everybody,

If your sole purpose for creating a blog is just for money, then even though you get a heavy traffic after 12- 24 months of work then the purpose for which the blogs are made defeats itself.

If you think in the way, that even though if you get a low traffic but it is helping some really needy guy with the kind of information you are proving in your blog then I feel that you are the winner.

Traffic will come eventually and you will also be making some money out of it but if you are sincere in your effort you will be remembered in the hearts of millions.

Sounds philosophical! our motto should be “do your work sincerely, you will surely get rewarded”.

I am a new entrant in the Blogging field and my blog http://itjobsdelhi.blogspot.com is getting less then 300 hits per day and although the earning is negligible but I am satisfied that the information is helping some needy person.

Blogging should be a passion.

This is why I stopped buying books and magazines. The experts just state the obvious. I'm all for the small guy who has nothing and beats all odds. Those are the real heroes of business. Not the ones who have tons of capital or resources at their helms. When they come out with a magazine or website for the small guy then I'll pay attention.

What is the motivation for the next great idea, I can list 5 good ideas of my head that I have not attempted and one that I did which was a success and 1 I tried that was a failure. I find inspiration from the most random of events in my life, I'll take that on board and do a post on how I found/find my niche's. I would not say being an entrepreneur is more luck than innovation but a mixture of the two, you still need to add value to any topic you stumble/choose to succeed in, that is not luck, doing the same thing as everyone else is a nail in the coffin, taking something out there and doing it better is innovation.

Find a niche. That's possible if you are working in a feild that allows you to network or learn a great trade. But what about the people who aren't as lucky and work just regular jobs? Being an entrepreneur is more about luck than innovation and being a genius. I think its' about time that the experts step up and actually give more insight on how to start a business than just vague responses such as find a niche. If they truly know how to start a business they will actually know how to conduct real research and also tell you some things that you should be looking out for in order to get a start. I've listened to the experts advice and got nowhere. What's that telling you? Not to be negative but over and over I keep hearing the same thing. Find a niche.
