I would re-think this. Maybe your "passions" are more specific and not as popular as other interests, but this doesn't mean that they can't be your fastlane idea.

Instead of competing with everybody and their brother in the "regular ways to make money online", try to avoid the noise and do something in niche.

Just my opinion! Good luck

Did you even read the book? Wrong approach.

Good luck nonetheless.

It's interesting to me how you contradict yourself....

Then I read the book and it opened my eyes to a lot of things. I bought into the concepts of:

-Creating value instead of chasing money.

I think you need to let it sink in a bit more.... because you are still chasing money.

Really?

Care to share?

What are you passionate about?

Did you really read the book? Doesn't sound like it. Your intro is typical "money chasing" garble.

Wow, the market definitely needs some of this! You should have customers banging down your door looking to give you some $$!

Sorry, I don't mean to sound harsh, but your thinking puts you in line with being a wantrepreneur and being in the category of the 95% failure rate.

Nonetheless, welcome Alex. =)
