Stuck on Topic Choice? Here's Help!

[jmas2312]

Thanks Lisa. BTW, I will be looking thru your stuff for tips on how to research a topic prior to selection. If there isn't one, could you make us one?

Thanks, Also, I love your new style. Everyone looks better when they stop trying to look like someone else.

[SpazDillinger]

Im thinking of doing this..but I need support, how abou it?

[FunmobileSmarts]

Thanks for some outstanding information. You IM information is outstanding!

[BarefootRadio]

Today I was sort of agonizing over this very topic, of what to pursue and how to distinguish myself in that niche/field. Bam, Lisa has a video on the topic! Very informative. Lots of markets are saturated as heck. Still, it's about how you stand out, right? Good stuff, Lisa. ;)

[MissYssa88]

Thanks for all the tips. Just subscribed :)

am thinkin' bout starting a blog, i think i know now what should my topic be.

[cory8u]

What's wrong with your hair? It looks beautiful!

[hrpowertools]

You said this is part II, which one is part I?

[hrpowertools]

Hi Lisa. Love your videos. In this topic video, you said this was part II. Which video is part I? Thanks.

[MrsGregg0109]

Lisa,

I am wanting to create a website and have been watching your helpful videos! I am stuck with what kind of site to create. I definitely want to make $ with my site. Could you please give me your suggestions? A brief background on me: I am an elementary teacher turned stay at home mom. I taught for 8 years and plan on returning. I have been home for 2 years with my two youngest children. I want to create a site that encompasses all of the facets of my life! What do you think? Thank You!

[danpifs]

Great videos! Just subscribed

[patrick258181]

Thank you for getting my feet back on the ground. I really started off with a couple simple ideas. Then while trying to achieve the simple. Search overload hit quick. 3 notebooks and some up all nights and nothing to show but a full circle back to not really anything.

Great Tips!

[homegrownart]

Ah, I am stuck on that cute little hair doo you have going on. I admire natural hair, and adore people that are proud to wear their hair naturally. When I was younger I did not like my hair, but now it is my best asset, hmmn well next to my smile. :)) Thanks for sharing, Lisa. I am checking out your new site now. Bye...

[vaccarovj]

Luckily for me the thing I'm mostly passionate about is something that usually gets overlooked and/or ignored (especially in today's society) and therefore there isn't much "competition"!!

There is no point to doing any of this if you are not really into what you're doing.

[TheK1N1]

@vaccarovj So did you already create a website? whats the name of it?

[busngilr09]

Hi Lisa I've been doing a lot of research on affiliate marketing, and I appreciate your honesty and sincerity. Quick questions. It looks like you used WordPress for the new site. Are you still using Site Sell or site builder  or do you use it or just sell it. Also if a person has a website but wants to use site sell how does that work. Also just wanted to say the new site is real cute and I commend you for taking the natural challenge, but I just think I can retain my naps :0) LOL

[shajambet]

Thanks so much.. You're a big help!!!

[yatah]

Nice haircut :)

[darkmonk99]

Great video,content is king-I totally agree

[777ELITE666]

Second, how do you start a site from nothing when you have no money to put towards it? I need help.

[777ELITE666]

Lisa, this is the second video I've seen now and you've given me a drive.

[SJCWebDesignLLC]

Hi Lisa, I've been following for a while. Love the videos - very useful! While you say this is a brand new niche for you, my problem is when you say you are starting all over from scratch.You are not at the same "level" as you were in 2005. Secondly, you have built a relationship and developed trust and loyalty with your subscribers and that is to me THE major key in being successful in any niche. That relationship is enabling you to be successful in any "new niche" you pursue.

[lisa3876]

@SJCWebDesignLLC Absolutely. I couldn't agree more about relationships. The point I was trying to make though was that I had no relationship with the people in this new niche and had not announced this site to my 2create audience. So I built up that blog traffic and 400+ YouTube subscribers in 2 months with this new site. I was trying to show that my writing content/video-making strategy is still enough to build a following in 2010.

[wordpressvideostv]

Would love more WordPress tutorials.

[GaloreMusic]

lisa make more videso

[brocktherock68]

coolllzzzzzz

[iwubyou00]

I'm sooooo glad I found you....I been wanting to start a blog but didn't know where to start.....I have an opinion about everything....

[seekdestroy16]

What would we do without you lisa...

[mychalsimonzmusic]

Great Video Lisa. you've help me a great deal.

[mychalsimonzmusic]

great video!! Lisa

[9892818918]

Hello Lisa, can you give me some approximate ( not Exactly ) for 1000 users on a single day visits any website, how much will be google adsense earning will be there for that day.

Or you can give any approx number of visitors earning from google adsense.

Look forward to hear from you.

[richlamarkev]

II think being beautiful helps alot with people viewing your videos and responding to your other sites. But what does a middle-aged man need to learn to build a website when you know nothing about it.but I feel I have alot to say.i saw those css and htlm books in the background do I need to learn that stuff.

[lisa3876]

@richlamarkev Interesting point of view, but I STILL believe that no matter what you look like people want GOOD content. So middle aged, young, old, etc. I'd still say, find a niche you're passionate about, research demand, develop a unique angle (very important) and provide HELPFUL content. The strategy remains the same no matter what you look like. :)

[Rachellewms]

Hey Lisa, what is the name of the new hair website again?

[FaYzHD]

So lisa, i'm a 14 year old boy looking to earn some money off this website, (Saving for a MacBook Pro for my Editing). And i was wondering if Google Adsense is still 'Alive'. And by the way REALLY great tips, I have found out a lot thanks to you!

[Wako098]

Do you use the built-in webcam in your Mac to create these videos now? Or is it just basically a camcorder on a tripod?

[lisa3876]

@Wako098 No, I have an HD camcorder and I use my Mac software to do the editing.

[Wako098]

@lisa3876 Wow you replied fast. And I have a Nikon S220 I think. (I can't find my camera at the moment, but I am sure that is correct. I always end up finding later somehow) But i don't think it is HD. And I don't have a tripod. =(

[tonyt53]

@lisa3876 You looking real sexy girl.I almost want to ask you for your phone number.lol

[MsInfonetwork]

My name is Lakecia (Msinfonetwork) on Youtube. I am a subscriber to your channel and was wondering if you could add me as a friend/contact on your Youtube account? I would like for you to view my videos and tell me if you think I have what it takes to continue to make videos on Youtube.

I would appreciate any advice you may have.

[pacjamT1]

What are you doing to drive traffic to your blog.

[iBellix]

All your site's kind of look the same. You need to add some cosmetic value's to these sites.

[zylone]

i want to be your boyfriend so bad.

[thomasbatelaan1]

Hey lisa, wich operating system do you use

[lisa3876]

@thomasbatelaan1 I use both Mac and Windows. Depends on what I'm doing. :)

[bibakisv]

Nice video. Yet I still don't see how that helps on topic choice.

[Zzaborg]

Lisa, I love your videos,thanks!!

But I have one little request - can you talk about creating communities with phpBB/myBB/vB? I could not find any video from you discussing on those.

That would help me a lot! (I admit, I need inspiration (and good tips, ofc) :D )

Thank you for doing this and good luck! ;)

[Zzaborg]

@Zzaborg Oops I forgot to add that how can I write content on forums? It would be strange if I start to create 10000 topics or something like that...

[blackandgoldone]

I find this subject matter only marginally interesting....but Lisa is super cute.

The best way to promote your web site, is to hire a pretty lady....

[themom1123]

Love your flat twist btw :)

[t3du]

Many kisses in your wrists to get better n´feeling well, my Beauty thanks for the vid.

[BehindTheCurtain0]

Hi Lisa, Do you do keyword research for your pages? Or do you just go for it and write whatever comes to mind?

[lisa3876]

@BehindTheCurtain0 I do a bit of keyword research but I don't obsess over it like many do. I have never been a big keyword researcher! I mainly focus on the competition and look for ways to stand out. For this new site, I already new there was demand based on my own personal experiences, etc. so I focused on what I felt was missing.

[BehindTheCurtain0]

@lisa3876 Thanks Lisa. That seems like the approach I should be taking!

[villainy73]

what's up, Lisa?

Are you still working on selling your own product or ebook?

[idkyoo]

what were the two sites you were talking about in the beginning? about building complicated site with cool features and such.

[goGradygo]

So correct, Lisa! I've had my box office blog (which is my personal passion!) for three years, and when I'm posting a lot of good content, I notice my traffic baseline increasing steadily. Thank you so much for always reiterating that CONTENT MATTERS!

[dyaonna]

What is the name of your hair site ?

[goGradygo]

@dyaonna I can't find it either!

[cinenglland]

@dyaonna She said. 'NapturallyCurly'

[fenway2k]

Another top-notch job. I've been following you for awhile and I applaud not only you quality, insightful content, but your personal transition and growth, which clearly shows in your connection with your audience.

If you haven't been working on it already, you know you are ready to have your own product. The people are demanding it Lisa, and personally, I will be in the front of the line at launch.

Keep up the good work.

[GaloreMusic]

lisa you should really make a series of videos.. I defianlty like to watch another case study if you can make that happen. Love the videos. Keep em comin

[MsInternational123]

Thank you Lisa....your awsome......

[sebkhetsabur]

your beautiful

[TreasureFiend]

Lisa your AWESOME!!!! Thanks for another great down to earth video!!!

[Fabsnetwork]

Hi Lisa you are the realist blogger ever!!!

[ChristosSophia]

Lisa, you look absolutely adorable with that hair of yours, but does this mean you'll be tweaking your brand by changing your lovely portrait?

[ESPSROCK]

Another great video lisa :)

[NathanLee0921]

I agree with some of the stuff you are saying, but not all of them. To get more people to your website and make money, you'll need a topic that is in demand.

Also, you should promote products even when your website don't have that much visitors. It's like you selling your t-shirts and putting up Google Adsense because you'll never know.

Just don't think that you're going to make a lot of money with little traffic though. It's okay to set things up and get it ready to go.

[lisa3876]

@NathanLee0921 Excellent point. I wish I had mentioned that. You absolutely need a topic in demand. Thanks for pointing that out.

[alphamaleswimmer]

Lisa is like having an inspirational coach that I've never met, yet still inspires me and gets me going. She is like a cross between the nice girl next door and yoda!

thanks Lisa!!!!!

Simon

[dealmaker007]

Yeah it's much easier to write about something you have a personal stake (or interest) in, even if it's just a little bit. Your own search for more information o something you have a personal stake in will wind up being something you found cool/interesting and want to share with others...the writing style will show too.

[brandonlamarmusic]

DAMN! WTF!! is your monitor big enough for you?? lmao haha!

[evilwatch]

Lisa, I created a blog (mensfashionjournal(dot)com) about a moth ago and I'm loving the experience. I usually get about 100-200 viewers a day. And was just wondering if you would be able to look at it and give me your feedback on what you think about it and what I should do to improve the whole experience.

Thanks in advance.

[superman12231977]

Thanks for the tips. It's really appreciated. Hey, how big is that monitor behind you? I like it!!

[rahulxxx2000]

its nice to see you after many days :-)

[8bittrauma]

I agree with 1646Alex. Your videos are really helpful. Thanks for those CSS tips. :)

[TwelveChariots]

lisa you fine girl!

[TheMatt7000]

Great video Lisa! There are allot of people I'll be sending this to! ;)

[1646Alex]

You have no idea how amazingly helpful your videos were to me!

[BluesAndJam]

Lisa, I'm a white guy, and I seriously don't understand why black women are so obsessed with weaves on a grand scheme. I like your hair like it is now, and frankly I find weaves really unappealing. Good tips on this video :)
