Hmm, you’ve got a point but on the downside the ‘local’ market is often too small (depending on where you live) – if you want to go big you need a big idea, on the other hand smaller niches are much easier to dominate in the SERPs

Man I've missed your blog dude!!! I love the stuff you put out and need to get back on my job of visiting daily! This is another great idea, and you're right, less savvy folks, tend to pay more for your knowledge. We forget how much more we know than the average user, because we are so used to talking to folks online that "get it" for the most part. Great idea man!

That's awesome, maybe I need to start writing my posts up into ebooks. Do you have any ebooks Jason? It's be nice to see an example of a really good one, so we could have something to model after. Jonathan Muller mastersofseo's last blog post..How to Track your Web Traffic

Hi Jason!

Great thinking – it is the same logic as going for the niche market of long-tailed keywords instead of going head to head with the big guns, or trying to get in on the hugely popular ‘make money online’ segment.

I live in a village, so it is hard to see just where to apply this in my own case, but thanks for the ’stimulus’.

yeah, I was thinking about buying a blog so that I can start doing the whole pay per post thing. Do you know where I can buy a good blog? Or should I buy a domain name and host it on a free blog site?

Your post makes me think about what could I apply to turn some money around, even a few cents would come into picture as a great fun ... from a different perspective. Thank you for the interesting tips I am juggling with thoughts in my head now. Convert to's last blog post..Computer and computing units converter

Well, I decided not to worry about the competition on price. I deliver quality to my clients, and they recommend me to others who are more concerned with getting what they want delivered, than wanting to pay nothing for nothing.

Interestingly my local market is so sophisticated they reckon local is too expensive so they won’t even look. So international is my best market.

Wonderful advice! This is a great opportunity for bloggers to network with local affiliate marketers and local companies. In addition, I like your suggestion about becoming the city’s go-to blog. This would be a good way to make a name for yourself in your area. Thanks for posting!
