Just like starting NicheHacks.com was a great decision for me.
Here's why:
NicheHacks has given me the freedom and control in my life I always dreamed of as well as the ability to live comfortably, travel the world, and not stress about money.
Not to mention how it's helped over 1 million visitors and counting.
Many have finally found their niche, learned online marketing skills, and profited with some tribe members crediting myself and NicheHacks for being the catalyst that allowed them to quit their jobs and live their dream lives.
Though here's the thing...
Starting a blog (or starting an affiliate website or authority site or whatever else you'd like to "name" it as) is not as simple as throwing up a few posts and hoping for the best.
At least not if you want to start a blog that actually makes money.
Pick a niche you are passionate about so you don't get bored blogging about it.
