Blogging on a Happy Fun and Profitable Niche

So what does “Blogging on a Happy, Fun and Profitable Niche” mean anyway?

Jumping For Joy

Make People Happy!


Well, I wanted to call this blog post “Looking for a Happy, Fun and Profitable Niche“. If you’re a “Newbie Marketer / Blogger”, you may be asking “What do I sell”? I myself am having a terrible time trying to decide on a niche or a market or a “Niche Market” for that matter to jump into. But something happened to me recently that I can’t get out of my mind and I think it has helped me to narrow it down.

I went to see an Orthopedic Surgeon a few weeks ago to go over the MRI pictures of my hip. The Doctor said to me, “Mr. Anderson, as you can see in this MRI picture, your hip joint is dead…the cartilage is disintegrating…this is what’s causing your pain…You have 6 to 10 months Maximum before you WILL be in a wheelchair unless we go in and replace your hip completely.” (don’t worry, this is not another hip replacement blog post).

My first reaction was “No Way! I’m too young for that kind of thing!” Ok, I’ll skip the rest of the details and get back to what this has to do with choosing a niche to market in. What that Doctor said to me that caused me to think “Happy, Fun and Profitable” was…. “Mr. Anderson, I love my job! People like yourself who are in pain all day every day come to me and I FIX their pain. Although it’s true that my patients HATE it at first when I tell them that they need surgery, they ALL come back to me shortly after and thank me like crazy, and that makes me feel good!”

The doctor repeated, “I LOVE my job because people come to me in terrible pain, and they leave with no pain at all (after recovering from the surgery of course)”. He also explained to me that although he IS in the medical field, he is NOT a doctor of cancer and heart failure and other medical fields where people suffer and die. His Patients (his customers, are you starting to get the point yet?) Love Him and appreciate him because HE makes them happy! And THAT my dear friend (um…that means “you” if you’re reading this), is over 350 words to say:

Find Something that Makes Other people Happy, and give it to them!

If you can’t create a product or service that makes other people happy, then find someone who does and sell their stuff as an affiliate. This helps tremendously in helping to focus and find what “Market” to get into! It sounds like a “No Brainer”, but sometime it’s hard to see the forest for the trees as they say. Something else happened just in the last few days that made me think twice about a certain niche I was investigating.

Keep an eye out for the next blog post (or two) as I begin to explain certain things you need to be careful about. Hopefully you’ll learn from my mistakes. Hey, I’m just being honest here, which I’m sad to say is sometimes my downfall. Keep reading this blog, and you’ll see proof that I’m often too honest…. Take advantage of it while you still can, coz the “powers that be”, just might make me be quiet.

    I agree Gary. I get a lot of personal satisfaction helping people launch their eBooks. I know the frustration of not “getting it” and always being sold to, so I tried to be different. Great post

  2. Testing my Gravatar, it didn’t work. hmmm

  3. Thanks Tiffany! Thank you so much for gracing my blog with your presence! Ok, enough butter I hope.

    This was an “Inspired” post! I thought it, wrote it, and hunted that “Jumping For Joy” pic all in about 90 minutes. I didn’t make it as pretty as your blog posts are.

    Which btw, to my other readers is.. TiffanyDow.com/blog. Check her out people!

    Hi Ganderco,

    You look way too young to have a hip replacement butI understand.
    I had to have 4 of my top teeth out at age 42 and one of them was a front tooth.

    I love the internet and the opportunities it provides.

    You write good posts so blogging for profit will be easy for you.

    I really came here to thank you for the “squidoo Lens checklist”.

    It is very kind of you and kind of Tiffany to put your link in her email to me. (I am on her list)

    I wish you the best with your health.

    • I woke up this morning to find your comment on The GanderCo Blog. It feels good waking up in the morning knowing that I’ve done something helpful for someone else.

      I’m glad you like the “Squidoo Lens Checklist”.

      Thanks for taking the time out of your day to leave a comment here!

  5. In the blogging world, not sure if it would work on biological adults. That would take energy away from watching reality shows.
