Internet marketing has become a business that people can do from their home, or from wherever in the world they are that has internet access. I made the choice to leave my job behind back in 2005 in order to work from home. It is the single best decision I have ever made in my life.
During the first year I had a steep learning curve. I had always been considered the computer person at any job I had worked at previously, so I was shocked at how much technology I needed to catch up with in order to get started. I tried to teach myself, but soon realized that I was going to have to find someone to help me get started.
I was also in the position to have to find a niche. Many people come to the internet with previous experience as a coach or consultant, but I was a former classroom teacher, real estate broker, and residential appraiser, so that was not going to work for me.
After trying out several small niches for a few months, I finally realized that I had to take a close look at what I was good at. I was so close to what I had done for the past twenty years at jobs that I just couldn't see what I had to offer on the internet that anyone else would be willing to pay for. I finally asked my friends and family what they thought I was good at and how I was helpful to other people.
Everyone gave me the exact same answer. I could not believe what they each said to me. They told me that I was the person they came to if they were trying to write a paper or a report and also the only one they thought of when they had problems with their computer or wanted to learn a new computer program. My niche was then established; I was the person who would help others to write and use technology to build an online business. Very quickly I began to teach people how to blog, write articles and short reports, write eBooks, and how to use the technology they would need in order to set this all up on the internet.
I encourage you to take a look at what your experiences have been in your life and in your career, and then think about the things you are passionate about. Write these things down and see where they come together. Now look for a hungry group of people who are looking for a solution to their problem. If you can help them to solve their problem, you will have found a match between your passion and experience and the wants and desires of people who are willing to pay for your help.
