I have written an eBook already and have a site selling it. it is not doing very well as i have not done any of the above. In taking this course, I will be recreating my site from the ground up, from the lessons that I learn in this 30 day challenge. The challenges and tips above are fantastic .. literally drooling to see the outcome. Cheers, -Ron Hi Justin,

Even experienced marketers avoid these big dog niches and focus on the longtail keywords, such as debt relief for "ex-naval officers who like cheese" or something like that and then when they've mopped up the sub-niches they're positioned to take on the big one. Someone I speak with (and I think Justin knows - Xan and Jan) made thousands with an info product on how to tie bows. Like ones that go in your hair or something. I mean how basic is that? passionate about poker? Big niche. Can you do those fancy flourishes with chips and cards? that's a sub-niche you might look into. Great cook? that's a big niche. Make the best clam chowder in the area? clam chowder recipes are a sub-niche. It's better for you to make just $1 in an easier niche than to be disheartened in a big dog niche. Also do your research. This is where I've failed miserably in the past. I dominated the terms "instrumental Jazz music" and "students time management" and while both of them got loads of traffic, neither of them were niches where anyone spent any money! I urge everyone to not only listen to what Justin teaches, but to also TAKE ACTION on *EVERY* *SINGLE* *INSTRUCTION* *WITHOUT* *FAIL*. Good luck everyone. Tony. Hey Brad,

It's rare that you see infomercials or other mass advertising methods for guitar lessons. There are some but nothing like credit repair, real estate, weight loss, etc. etc. However, there are some guys out there that are already kicking ass. I would consider them semi-trucks, and you never want to try and go head on with a semi. Instead you want to go around them. The way you do that is by either picking a sub-niche or a unique selling point. For example look at Twitter and Facebook. Facebook was the semi-truck so Twitter chose to just focus on "status updates" and nothing more. Because they had a unique selling point then, they were able to compete very well. When I jumped into the "make money online" niche I didn't try to go head on with the Frank Kern's and Russell Brunsons, I went around them by focusing on Website Flipping. You need to research what the guitar market wants and then choose one of those things that you can be the best in the world at. Whatever you do, DON'T just pick one yourself. Make sure the market has expressed interest in the topic first. Guitar lessons is a big niche but it’s not one of the “big dog” niches.

I've found the niche I want to work in, but wonder if it is too big for a beginner. I play guitar in a pretty good "Rock" band. Have played for 30 plus yrs etc.. Have a real passion for it. Feel like I could give good content to a WP-blog etc. Simply, the only "Red Flag" that came up was is this niche one of the "Big Dogs" ? Seems like there might be a great "sub-niche" in there, just haven't figured what that might be. Your thoughts? Hey Justin, I’ll make this short.

I read all the comments below and understand the ways of doing FBook ads & using adwords for testing... but if you don't have any website at all yet?
