Broke, Burnt-out, and Busted: How to Find Your Sweet Spot in Blogging and Business
Blogging for business comes down to one challenge: finding what problem you can solve for your readers. That can be tough, unless you look at the intersection of three areas: What they’re passionate about. What they’re talented at. What customers will pay for. If they’re passionate and talented, but customers won’t pay for their solution… they’ll be broke. If they are talented with paying customers, but lack passion… they’ll burn out. If they’re passionate with paying customers, but aren’t actually talented… they’ll get busted. But when they find the thing that meets all three criteria, THAT is the sweet spot!
Key Points
We'll use a diagram to show each section and suggest 3 steps in order to test whether an idea or solution falls into each of the 3 areas, to help bloggers truly determine:
1. What they're passionate about.
2. What they're talented at.
3. What customers will pay for. -
