 |

Hello All,
I know I am asking too many questions, yes I admit I need help with each step I take.
This time I want to do things correct.
So the question today is:
Do I get all my content first and then buy SBI (I am convinced SBI is the best way for me to go now)
Or do I get SBI now and proceed? I don't want to buy it too soon if it expires or anything. I watched the video but still not clear on all the details.
So is it buy SBI and start with content or do all the content and than buy SBI.
As I write this I am seeing I need SBI to build my content right?
Wow you guys are good. You answer my questions before I get them typed out.

Get SBI first, because when you use the brainstorming and research tools, they may change your mind on exactly what your content should be.

Hey Guys,
Well you are so right Allan, I got SBI last night....
I just messed with the choose it and brainstorming and guess what.
It showed me I am totally off base with what I chose for content.  (the content idea I pulled out of the hat)
Now I guess I start all over again. Oh well it could be worse. I could have spent more money on this idea before I learned it was wrong for me.
My interest by choose it, is really saturated online, do I continue with it and just try to put a different twist on it? I do have an idea for this but don't know if I am smart enough to do it.
"Chooseit gives me these percentages about the new content ideas"
First choice (content 1) 90.88 %
Or do I go to the second choice? Second choice says (content 2) 90.87 %
Third content choice says (content 3) 81.85 %
(What I thought was a good idea for me came out 72% 65% and 66%) What I pulled out of the hat was the lowest of them all.
Please let me know what you would do with these figures.
Thanks
Linda

Just to clarify...
Have you done keyword research in each of your potential niches?
Have you looked carefully at your top 10 competitors in those niches to see how tough it would be to compete with them?
Sometimes I've gone with careful research, sometimes I've just trusted my instincts and done what I really want to do.

Hi Linda,

Congratulations on becoming an SBI?er.
You now have a whole raft of tools to help you find your niche. Ken Evoy is fond of telling the story of one of the top SBI?ers who spent three months Brainstorming and analyzing to zoom in on just the right topic and angle for him.
That was three months before he wrote one word of content, three months before he had a single page up or even had a domain name registered. What patience 
Was it all worth it? Well that original site of his is indeed very successful and he now has several other SBI sites related to his original theme.
So time spent with Brainstorm It!, Search It! Choose It! Etc. and reading and re-reading the Action Guide is very much as valid as time spent creating your content and choosing affiliate partners
Or, as Allan says, sometimes going with your instincts, despite what any ?numbers? say will be what works for you. In fact the Action Guide emphasizes that ?gut reaction? is always part of the process.
Good luck and have fun.
