Talking Niche trouble and a stubborn cat

I started off frustrated because I couldn't find a niche. Market Samurai data was unreliable, Google Trends was iffy- I didn't know where to turn to... life was pretty bleak.

But then I made a discovery that turned my success around.

I started asking my cat.



My cat seemed to have an uncanny intuition for good niches to pursue. She also was extremely knowledgable about SEO, especially when it came to LSI.



I'm surprised Ed hasn't addressed this issue. I admit, having a resident cat does cost a bit of money, but if you're willing to splash out, the benefits are enormous.



I'm back on track with the thirty day challenge. My cat has worked 24/7 to help me catch up. She even fixed the Google Analytics on my Wordpress blog.

I'd say the best solution for finding your motivation for the 30DC have to be a combination of:

watching Ed Dale get angry in his Day 17 30DC TV show.
watching Caro generally
having a cat with substantial niche marketing knowledge

Good luck people!

I've got two persians. one is just a jerk who hides in the corner and growls at me all the time. The other is a rescue from Taiwan who while very loving, is not the brightest crayon in the box. I don't think I'm going to get much help from either of them. good thing I work at an animal shelter. I'll have to ask around our population of felines and see if any of them have degrees in marketing...

Well about the only thing better than a niche finding cat, would be a DOG (of which I happen to have a few that help me daily)!!!



Seriously, glad you're back on track.

I actually do feral cat rescues and they always have ideas for what you should be doing. Mainly feeding them and then leaving them alone.

The problem I have with cats is that they like to chat with their buddies on the internet. I don't know how many times I've had to kick them off the keyboard.

And I have one who likes to kibitz over my shoulder.

BUT they did give me a very nice little niche so they have earned their keep.

Traci, my 2 dogs help inspire me. When they bark at the mail carrier it sets my brain into an electrical storm, causing a short circuit, and amazing ideas appear. Thank goodness for the mail carrier and my dogs' loving to bark at anyone who walks by the window.
