    @Ax3 , I'm re-reading my reply to you, and I hope I didn't come across as a know-it-all. I was trying to tell you the ways that I'm implementing your advice or planning to implement it, but it might've come across as cocky. Thanks again for your detailed write-up; it was hugely helpful and very...

    INTRO 
    Update: I'm combining research and marketing by going on Pinterest and following every single board that pertains to my niche. (It's tedious, but I think it will be worth it.) Then I'll create my own boards and repin from the boards I followed. This will double as research for my blog posts...

    Hello, I'm discerning

    INTRO 
    For someone who wants to fill others' needs, you seem pretty focused on your own problems. Maybe if you focused on other people's problems instead, you would find a need you could fill.

    Thanks! :) Ok, this was more than a few observations. You took a deep dive and even made me a spreadsheet! Thank you. Since I'm planning to connect lots of different theories, my articles will include lots of search terms. I haven't "gone public," but I've shown it to friends and even...

    Fear and Action-Faking in Entrepreneurship-- a 19 year old's guide to askholing.

    NOTABLE! 
    I have mixed feelings about this thread. On the one hand, OP makes me angry. He has such a messed up sleep schedule and doesn't even have insomnia. I literally started standing my mattress up vertically during the day so I wouldn't take naps, because guess what? My health issues keep me up...

    Creating domain or business name!

    Resurrecting this... just found it in the archives and it was very helpful! I'm thinking of the alliterative name "Style System Central" for my brand (thread linked below): https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/23y-o-chronically-ill-want-to-shoot-higher.88997/ Edit: Hmmm...

    Do you want to learn more, or earn more?

    Tell me what you think when you get further into it! I feel like I understood TMF better b/c I'd read StoryBrand first.

    Do you want to learn more, or earn more?

    MINDSET 
    Before I read TMF, I read a book called Building a StoryBrand. It helped me get into this mindset. Anyone else here read it? It teaches you how to cast the customer as the hero in all your marketing materials, not yourself or your brand.

    Thanks! Yep, exactly. :smile: The only thing that bugs me is something that @Johnny boy brought up earlier... if I'm just aggregating information, then what can I actually charge for? Sure, I'm not just aggregating; I'm also analyzing/simplifying... but I don't know how to make that into a...

    @cautiouscapy What has your experience been with personal style? What do you WISH existed in this niche? Do you have any needs that are being unmet by the current resources?

    Doing market research and thinking. The most glaring lack I see in this niche is that there's no hub* for all the info about style theories. I think I could create that hub. I could interview stylists and authors and create a one-stop shop for all things color analysis, personal styling, etc...

    Okay, I see what you're saying! Thanks for explaining and thanks for the encouragement. Based on all the advice I've gotten so far, my first step is going to be market research. I already have a casual knowledge of the market since this is a topic I'm interested in, but I need to do a deep dive...

    I probably have that mindset because I am an editor, and I'd like to think professional editing is worth the money. :happy: But I see what you're saying, and those are excellent suggestions! Thanks.

    Yes, I have! I have been editing for self-published authors for a few years (since my second year of college). I have been observing the self-publishing process and mentally filing my observations for future action. It is very easy to self-publish a book poorly—which could mean writing poorly...

    Great food for thought, Jeff. So it seems like blogging isn't a way to earn significant income, but it's a way to draw people to your product or service. Thanks so much for sharing your girlfriend's experience; this is super helpful information.
