Too many webmasters are focusing on monetization before building a useful website and attracting relevant visitors. Great comment.

I get tired of all the people who just think about getting more money, preferably over night. 5 years ago when I started my first site I was thinking about "how to make this the best Karate site in Romania". And how to offer the most content I can possibly muster and be useful for my visitors. I have started many sites afterwards and thought only about how to make my visitors/members benefit from the experience. I do monetize now, but after such long time and so many hours of work. I don't start sites in niches I don't like. I start them on topics I am knowledgeable and passionate about. Start on something you like and money will follow ;) Couldn’t agree more.

I find that building a website is hard enough even if you do have passion for your niche. Why would you make it harder on yourself by choosing a niche you're not interested in? Nice post.

You really need passion, especially in blogging, and it just makes your writing all that much better if you really care. I totally agree.

I started out the same way building sites around topics that I had no interest in. The sites were not fun for me to update and it showed - no traffic at all. Once I chose a topic I truly enjoyed, I found success (traffic and revenue.) Passion is very important for me. I started out the same way building sites around topics that I had no interest in.
