I created this room for those of us who are both new to 30dc still at days 2 to 4 because we haven't yet found a good keyword. No 30dc forum rules here- if you want to gripe, moan or scream that's fine but no flaming, no spamming, no libel, and try to keep swearing to more acceptable terms. let's give each other plenty of support and encouragement. I reserve the right to change these rules
I'm stuck for a niche. I tried global warming and decided this wasn't something I could write articles about... Now looking for something I know about so I can write the articles....
Hello fellow strugglers, I'm also trying to work out a niche. I have two ideas - photography and business/life coaching. Are these too broad for this exercise?

Anfernee, I looked at the coaching niche early on, weren't enough searches to make it worth it. But you might find different...
- Isha (Marysia)
Thanks Marysia. Yes, I'm looking at other niches now.

I'm still here. Up to day 9. I'm waiting for the indexing!! Could you clarify what you mean by "coming up short"? How are you searching for keywords?

Hi. I'm happy there is an outlet here for strugglers. The 30DC forum seems to have a lot of successful gurus and i get depressed just reading the posts. I am not that much behind but am ready to give up. I chose 2 keywords in a specific niche and did everything i was supposed to do. NO LUCK.
Hi. Don't give up. Might re-look at your key word. It took me a while, persistence will help you, keep on going. Did you read the Niche Marketing Black Book from Noble Samurai, the one behind Market Samurai, it helped me with my search.

I feel your pain.I have watched each of the major videos to keep pounding it into my head. I learned long ago that there is a reason patience is a virtue. It is so hard to learn and practice consistently. Don't quit - just go back and review as you need to. The goal is to learn not to arrive. Arrival will happen in time.

Thank you guys for your advice. No, i didn't read the black book from Samurai, where do i find it?

Hi Ruth, I am pretty new to all this. I was trying to find a way to contact you to say I loved the Byron Katie quote that you have on the 30dc forum. I came across her thru a friend in Netherlands (I am in Melbourne, Australia). BTW... up to day 7!
I am also a bit stuck. I thought about green/ethical investments so on a similar track to Yvonne. I even have a domain name for this. I also have a "Stop Excessive Sweating" (sorry, gross i know) blog. After that I'm not sure. Any suggestions on how i can adapt either of these?
Hi everyone... I did the challenge last year, a little bit behind this year but not too much... I will try and help out as much as possible... Just stay possitive... this realy works...
i keep having to go back and forward with the challenge. not quite as used to the lack of sleep as i used to be. still looking for the right keyword. tried one so far and not sure why it isnt working.
Hello everyone - learned of this awesome training late and am just finsihing (I think) with pre-season. It's all new to me so it has been a lot to digest so far; am excited to move into the actual Challenge and learn more!
Some of us started on Aug 1st Alina and are still at day 3 looking for our good keyword. A lot of the advice I've had from seniors is that 1) It's really worth doing this keyword market research thoroughly even if it's taking us a long time. I think you're right to keep on with the keywords 2) this market research phase is great experience, and we can learn a lot from it 3) once we've found our keyword & we can move on then everything else is much easier. Stick with it - we're with you!
