You Can Develop Ideas From Your Own Encyclopaedia Of Life

Defining your own Encyclopaedia of Life draws on your personal life experiences, and it is completely unique to you.

If you have any ambitions to do business or just blog on the internet, you must have a passion for your subject.

Passion is the ingredient that will keep you interested, focused, and continuing with your subject over time.

Unless you have some knowledge of your subject, you will be starting from scratch and will have a huge learning curve to become sufficiently knowledgeable to become an expert in the field you have chosen.

And if you have no knowledge, how can you help people and answer questions about their problems?

No Passion, No interest = FAILURE

However, if you have found a subject/niche that you think will be good for you to get involved with and there is a need, then test the subject/niche to find out who is also involved in this niche and make a plan, i.e., what can you offer that is different from what is already being offered? How will you set up and deliver to your customers?

It would be ideal to have a subject or subjects you know well and are familiar with, but it is not essential.

You might not be an expert in that subject, but you need to be well invested in it and interested in it.

If you have developed knowledge and passion for your subject, you are more likely to take the extra steps needed to succeed.

However, even with knowledge and passion, it might not be enough.

It takes, and this is probably the most important thing, persistence to be successful in any business, let alone an Internet Business.

If you have passion and some knowledge, you can add to that knowledge through research and study and become somewhat of an expert in the subject, but without passion, it will be difficult.

Money can be a good motivator, and successful entrepreneurs show this time and again; however, they need to find a good subject, often called a "Niche," that they really believe in, have a passion for, and know well before they can make any serious money.

So, passion has to be your main motivator to succeed on the Internet. Your passion can become financially rewarding, and perseverance gets you there. Never give up.

So, how do you find a subject you are passionate about?

Well, you should already know this, but you can think about your likes and dislikes, your environment, your work, your family—you should get the idea—things that bug you or something that you think you can do to improve daily life.

You may be interested in many subjects, but only a handful will truly ignite your passion.

These are the subjects you should focus on, because they are the ones you are most likely to succeed in and stick with.

You should do research on your subject(s), search for others in the same niche, ask what they are doing, and consider how you can do things differently or better. Then, go to Google AdWords and search keywords related to your subject.

Research should give you some indication of the viability of your subject and give you the incentive to pursue it further or to move on to a different one.

Your own Encyclopaedia of Life is important as it relates to your personal life experiences, which are completely unique to you.

Everybody has unique life experiences that are different from anyone else's. You should use these experiences as a starting point for your internet ideas. Explore your unique experiences, the good and the bad, and try to build something to propel your internet ideas.

Remember that bad experiences are often the catalyst for a new idea. If something has not worked for you or somebody else, or if a situation you or others have experienced could be the catalyst to develop an Internet business idea, think about solutions to those experiences and what you can do to rectify them if possible.

Your solution can be a plan, a book, software, an eStore, articles, a blog on the subject, etc.

So, start planning, write things down, think about what you know or have experienced, and try to develop those thoughts into an Internet business model.

Where is your expertise?
You should find a subject that can be turned into a business opportunity, you need to find something that you know and can build on to produce an information product in a niche market that can be useful to others?

You should explore your own knowledge and experiences, list the things that you know and are interested in. Below is a list of questions that will prompt you to think in different ways. Make a list of the things that you know and put them to the test on the idea creator rating chart Appendix 4.

At the outset I suggest that digital products are a good place to start, it is easier and can be delivered at virtually no cost, so consider this as your first choice, you can of course go into whatever you want such as providing a service or a physical product that you supply.

It is important you realize that nothing should hold you back from exploring all possibilities, there is nobody that can tell you with any certainty whether a subject will work or not.

If you explore the internet you will find some weird sites, and in many cases they make a success of it so what makes people do what they do, it is because they have an idea and just do it.

A good way to look at developing an internet business is that you should try to find a problem that people want solved in some way, identifying issues that are problems gives you a market to target, if you can identify where people are having problems with something it is likely that by developing a product it will provide a solution that will give you are market to work in.

Just because you may think people need a solution to a problem does not mean they want it, so do not be too bullish at first make sure you study the subject thoroughly first.

So explore, when thinking about an idea try to think what people would be looking for and what you have to offer from your experiences or something that you could study and provide the expertise to that niche.

If you really want to try something then have a go.

Now go through the following questions and make a list on paper.
What do you know?
What have you done?
What have you studied?
What have you experienced?
Is there something that you have done that has been difficult to understand or do?
Or, conversely is there something that you know of that others have had trouble understanding or doing?
Is there something your wife/husband or friend wish there was a better way of doing?
Are there things that your children do that could be done better?
Is there something in your day to day activities that is annoying and could be better?
What happens at your workplace that could be better, could you develop ideas to make things better?
What have you learnt through your workplace that you could turn into a business, maybe a manual, book or consultancy?
What experiences did you have in your youth, what went wrong, and what went right, can you use something from these experiences?
Is there something that you have always had a desire to try, an idea, a business?
Are you interested in learning about a particular activity; maybe other people are as well, can you produce something that would interest them?
If you have children this could be a great source of inspiration, they take you where you may not have been before, is this a source for earning a new income?
Can you relate something to your sporting activities, interest or knowledge?
Do you like gadgets; can you relate something to this activity?
Do you like working with computers, there are so many options and need for information and knowledge that people want, is there something that you can produce that would help others with some computer activity?
These questions are to prompt your thoughts deeper, to start you thinking and analyze what you really know.
