The cool thing right now is that you can monetize almost any niche. You can get direct advertisers, call them up and make a deal. There are tons of affiliate programs out there and you can even create your own products.

This will only get better in the future as more and more advertisers start focusing on buying ads online instead of offline. I agree completely with your point though!

Thanks

Of course, some people don’t like to follow their passion, if it happens to live in a low-demand/low-paying niche. But what I like about the idea, is that even if success takes a while to come to you – or even if you’re really unlucky and it doesn’t arrive at all – you’ve contributed something valuable anyway.

In fact, the question I asked myself before creating a website is: “If it doesn’t bring much income, would I still be glad I did it?”. If your site concept is also your passion, the answer to that question is ‘Yes’, so you can’t lose. You get to create something valuable, and you may (eventually) make some good money out of it too.

Good luck with yours

You’re great inspiration and your advices and help are very much appreciated. I’m doing the ground work now for my future site and will stop by here to update you on the progress.
Passion and the right idea – IS THE KEY to success online!

Taking Action and Hard Work are the two best points here (in my humble opinion ).

I attest to this because I wanted change in my life for so long. I’ve worked in jobs I haven’t necessarily liked and I read a lot of books, but I really never did anything to change my situation. Finally, I took action. I’m still early in the process and it is challenging, but I’m enjoying it and I’m prepared to do the hard work that is required to be successful.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Henri!
