I really enjoyed the video which for me has finally answered the question and put put it to bed.
I got involved in marketing on line primarily to promote my off line business. I then started writing etc about my passion which was nice and easy but didnt put money in the bank.
I have only recently started to explore other markets for financial rewards but I am developing a passion for the process and I enjoy this business now.

I’m one of those people who has mastered just about everything I’ve put my mind to. For me, it’s about getting absorbed to the point of losing track of time, getting satisfaction from what I’ve done. But “passion”? I don’t even know what people mean by that.

life is just a matter of choice and chance so we have to follow our passion in every single strip of our desision..so that whatever happens you wont regret it! and youll be happy for it:) nice topic..

Passion increase the value of your work.

]]> By: Tim https://www.potpiegirl.com/should-you-follow-your-passion/#comment-6380 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=1122#comment-6380 Well, a nice “rant,” but, in throwing out a lot of emotional arguments, this piece totally overlooked the reason WHY we are told to “follow our passion.” Actually, there are many reasons. First of all, If you try to promote something you don’t really believe in, it is quite possible that your readers will see right through you. They will be able to tell that you don’t really know what you are talking about. Secondly, since a lot of website marketing is done through article writing, it is a lot easier and quicker to write about something you already know about than to try to research each article beforehand. Finally, it becomes very TEDIOUS to write article after article after article about something that you have very little interest in.

How come this piece didn’t even consider any of these non-emotional points?

Money in itself is hollow.

I think you have to at least be interested if not passionate about what you do… or you will lose interest.

I must admit I personally think by starting off with something that I had an interest in, it made it easier for me!

]]> By: Laura https://www.potpiegirl.com/should-you-follow-your-passion/#comment-6309 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=1122#comment-6309 I love this perspective. I’ve been struggling with exactly this. Thanks.

I agree with everything in the video except worrying about what friends and family think and say. It’s not their life and I don’t care what they think or say.

Other than that, yes. Getting out and earning some cash has been in the forefront and being able to help others or know my true passion has been blurred because of the stress of the treadmill.

Thanks for writing about this, PPG. It’s a good one and perhaps the fire I need under my butt.

Love, love, love your site!

I was so frustrated with trying to learn how to make money online, and you have made that frustration dissipate and given me not only useful information but hope as well – which may be even more important.

I did have some questions, of course, but I think your knowledgebase might have been hacked. When I clicked on View all questions, a big, black box with a skull came up and words to the effect that you’ve been hacked. This was yesterday. I don’t dare check to see if it’s been fixed or not.

Thanks again, Jennifer!

Well, you definitely have your points but I’m more convenient in promoting products that I have tried myself. It’s kind of weird to endorse something that I know nothing about.

Anyway, I agree with you if I am just pointing people to products that they are looking for to products that I know exist without giving any endorsement to it.

Their are lots of niches that people are passionate about but aren’t willing to spend money on. Best to find a niche that you can work in AND make money from.

]]> By: John Tanner https://www.potpiegirl.com/should-you-follow-your-passion/#comment-6231 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=1122#comment-6231 The introduction to this post seems to mirror my experience. For over a year I tried to build a hole by hole golf portal to promote golf courses using real pictures shot from various angles on each hole, but I haven’t made the money.

I think it’s okay that I should change direction and concentrate on products and services that people are desperately seeking.

If I succeed here, maybe I’ll have the money to make the golf site work.

As always, you’ve provided a thought provoking post.

Thanks
John

Don’t try and make money just try and complete a small project first.

]]> By: Linda Pogue https://www.potpiegirl.com/should-you-follow-your-passion/#comment-6226 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=1122#comment-6226 Thanks for this video and post. I have a job that pays the bills, but requires a lot of my time, even after I come home. My passion is to provide for the needs of my family. I really believe that IM will be the vehicle that helps me do that. Once that need is met, I will be more interested in my hobbies, such as beading, sewing, and creating patterns. At that point, I will start creating content for these areas. For now, I will sell what I can to get to that point.
