Minds enjoying spreading mental viruses.
People do this for various reasons.
Some consciously want to intimidate alleged competition.
Others prefer to blame externals versus facing their own blogging ineffectiveness.
Almost all visualize themselves as a victim; albeit on a fully unconscious level.
The myth of over saturated blogging niches is pure bullshit.
Like all lies, shining light on it makes the darkness vanish along with the illusion.
Claiming that a niche has become over saturated is like a guppy at the bottom of the Mariana Trench fearing the desert.
Why is blogging niche over saturation not true?
1: Abundance Exists
Abundance exists.
No limits exist in abundance.
Every thing is an idea.
Subscribing to the incredible belief that someone can take your cheese is ludicrous because ideas increase by being given away.
Giving and losing cannot be associated.
Wait a second.
Rewind.
Think it through: every idea you give away floats out into the seeming ethers for other minds to seize and use it. By default, if 2, then 4, then 100 minds see and benefit from your idea then you gained and can never lose anything because the idea multiplied by 2, then 4, then 100.
Ideas offered increase in size and magnitude.
How can giving and losing be associated?
Now the confusing part to the ego: if abundance exists and scarcity is a lie how can other bloggers appear to flood a niche and steal, take or dominate most of the niche profits?
The wealthiest bloggers believe in abundance; ample money is theirs.
Bloggers who struggle to profit believe in:
- scarcity
- poverty
- money fears
- loss
- competition
- over saturated niches
Everything depends on your mindset or predominant ideas. Wealthy blogger leaders who dominate a niche blog abundantly and earn a hefty blogging income because of their mindset, or, dominant relaxed, abundant ideas. Pretty much every other blogger struggles to make dough because because of their mindset, or dominant chaotic, scarcity, poverty consciousness.
The niche is inanimate.
Who creates struggles?
The mind of the blogger.
Certainly, an inanimate niche cannot do anything. It is mindless.
Income is in the attitude of the blogger not the inanimate niche.
2: Almost All Bloggers Quit Sooner than Later
The first concept is important but may feel extremely uncomfortable for most minds to grasp.
All of us have strong resistance to looking within our minds because the world always blames externals to the mind. The problem has to be out there according to the world and can never be in the mind of the person who is always around when their lives seem to wind up in the shitter.
Anyway, if you find yourself in this resistant lot I have good news.
You do not have to worry about the competition because it will die before taking its first blogging breath.
Bloggers go through domains like toilet paper at a Mexican restaurant bathroom. Almost every one quits with alarming speed when the allegedly easy way to make money becomes a real business requiring careful learning, study and practice for 1000’s of hours before profitability occurs.
Niches appear to be crowded but the crowd quits quickly as another crowd arrives and quits quickly.
The blogger turnover rate is higher than judges in the 1980’s in Columbia.
Never fear the competition because it is almost always a high volume of deluded individuals who quit before doing anything even close to meaningful or significant.
Your success will increase as the revolving blogging door allows in the bloggers who exit immediately.
3: Almost All Bloggers Wing It and Screw Up
Other bloggers do stick around for many years.
But they wing it, screw up and fail because most never follow advice from professionals for a sustained period of time.
How can a veteran blogger with no traffic and income take your traffic and income?
How can a blogging niche become saturated if bloggers do not take even a smidge of the blogging pie because most have no clue what they’re doing?
Why would you fear facing a high volume of bloggers who join a niche but never “take” anything for themselves and hence can never theoretically “take” anything from you? Those who wing it get goose eggs across the board. How can zeros indicate over saturation?
Two Important Points
#1 – I do not mean to sound harsh but some need to be slapped upside the head with the blogging truth to shock themselves out of a mental malaise.
Bloggers terrified of going against a niche filled with blogging ghosts who immediately quit or struggle for years go against nothing.
#2 – The abundance mentality (Reason #1 ) comes about slowly for most because the world is fear, scarcity and poverty. Be gentle with yourself to reverse your thinking. Momentum creates resistance. Facing, feeling and looking past scarcity fears to reveal the abundance truth feels highly uncomfortable at times.
For example, one may feel great after reading this blog post because knowing the truth is fun. But you may read 10 top online marketing bloggers today who preach scarcity, poverty and spotting niche over saturation warning signs as important markers for making money through your blog.
When someone tells you that the way to make money is through the fear of loss it will confuse you. When someone tells you the way to gain is to look past over saturated niches where many bloggers fight or compete with each other from a limited, dwindling supply or loss it feels vexing.
My advice?
Read this post again. Slow down your mind. Let the first reason seep deep into your unconscious mind to enjoy knowing the truth and to look past illusions, even if bloggers who appear successful to the world teach in alignment with the illusions.
Hey; reasons #2 and #3 above area illusions themselves being mired in fear, loss, struggles and scarcity.
But I have to baby step you Young Blogging Mind Training Padawans who feel like reason #1 is a quantum leap that you simply cannot fathom today.
Conclusion
Never trust niche saturation statistics because mentally re-visiting numbers from the past bases your career on what other bloggers did a long time ago.
Bloggers who quote statistics are mentally afraid and prefer to look at inanimate numbers from the past versus looking with their mind to face, feel and forgive fears for a more abundant, relaxed, successful blogging mindset.
Look past the myth of niche over saturation by looking within the fear in your mind proving the paper tiger to be “true”.
