  1. Niche Saturation

    2. Too many people fighting for too few readers makes it impossible to gain traction.

  2. Planning

    3. As a blogger you haven’t been taught how to plan out a website to make money. Without understand for whom to build the blog, how to build it and how to monetize it, you’ve already screwed yourself over.

  3. Marketing

    4. How do you stand out when you’ve learned everything you know from an A-Lister? All your competition has the learned the exact same things!

    Standing out is impossible if you aren’t any different from your competition. This goes back to planning–proper branding starts from website conception.

  4. Monetization - $$$

    5. What do you sell your MMO visitors? They have heard of the latest affiliate products, they know what your affiliate links look like, they’ve joined all the networks already.

    Not to mention they will use their own affiliate links to get any new products.

  5. Crazy Competition

    6. The principle of competitive exclusion: no two species can vie for the exact same niche. One will always beat the other over time.

    Why compete with people who are experts in this field? Plenty of niches have barely any internet marketers. This one has hundreds vying for little traffic.

  1. Who is your target audience?
    • Age
    • Gender
    • Income
    • Experience
    • Mentality (ie. what are they looking for?)
    • Problem (what solution can you offer them?)
  2. How will you attract your target visitor?
    • Traffic source
    • Branding
    • Web 2.0 vs Organic Search
    • PPC
    • Viral Marketing
  3. How will you monetize your target visitor?
    • Solution to his problem
    • How much is he willing to pay?
    • Is he ready to buy? (or do you need to convince him?)
    • Conversion rates
    • Monetization type (affiliate product, Adsense [experts only], CPA, list building)

If you can’t answer these questions and lay out your plan then I think we can agree you will have a lot of trouble running a business with your blog.
