It’s All Been Done
I am not trying to be a negative Nelly, but something occurred to me yesterday. I spend a lot of time reading other writing blogs, blogs about blogging and blogs about making money online, and I have begun to notice a trend. The majority of us are talking about the same thing. Notice I said “Us.” It is a challenge to blog everyday and come up with something original to say, something that some other blogger in our genre hasn’t already covered.
So I have set myself a challenge. I am going to try to make each blog post I do, the ones that aren’t about services and products, contain content that is off the beaten path, that hasn’t been done before. Of course this is going to be a major challenge because, I mean, how much can be said that hasn’t already been covered? And it occurs to me that we live in a recycled world. Even the TV shows we watch, the movies, have the same actors playing different parts. Fashions that were popular in 1970 are back. Morals that were once thrown out the window are returning to the landscape of life.
That makes creating original, never before done content a hard job, but I am going to give it a shot. Maybe I am even creating an impossible task, for anything you want to know can be found on the internet, and usually in spades. The only thing I really know to do about that is to write stuff about writing, blogging and making money online that is more editorial and opinion generated, more personal and from the heart.
We’ll see how it goes.

Yes, this is especially true in the internet marketing, make money online, and blogging tips fields.
There are a lot of other niches where it’s easier to stand out, and they’re–quite honestly–more lucrative anyway. It’s harder to make money online by targeting the oft-jaded internet savvy types.
You can still make a name for yourself in this field however. My advice would be to niche down further if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd. Choose a smaller niche and become the expert in that area.
Just my two cents though.
