I read something a couple of weeks ago about how ineffective heavy multi tasking really can be and how being more productive is best accomplished by finding a few select tasks and do them well with consistency. I think that is the best route to go when you are just starting out. Find a few things to tackle each day and do them every day until they become routine and then gradually add a new concept or task once you gain momentum. One thing that hard core multitasking does is create burn out and then you lose interest.

For a few years I was so immersed in the world of Paint Shop Pro that I thought that was thee only world out there. Needless to say I had found the one thing I loved and did it well enough to the point that now I am teaching basic classes on Wednesday evenings via web conferencing. Paint Shop Pro will always be my first love but now I am on to a much bigger fish in the niche ocean- Web 2.0. Yeah mmm I like to tackle the big niches cause I want to prove that I can do it. Prove it to myself that I can do it.

tehjess if your wanting to blog about internet marketing but not sure if your able to handle a full time blog just yet I am looking for talented writers for my blog on Web 2.0 you can find it at http://wildheartsweb20.com. Feel free to check it out and see if my blog may be a good fit for you

As a contributor you wouldn't be bound to a quota of any kind either.

Now here is my take on what I advise people to do. "Write what you know, what is authentic to you." The same goes for business do what you know you will enjoy doing. I made up my mind that I wasn't going to settle when it came to what I wanted to do in life. I would rather struggle doing something I love than make money doing something I hate. That is why I have stuck with blogging it makes me happy and all the connections I have made along the way have made it all worthwhile.

Where you're at in your career allows you to weave and dance between niches. Let's be honest – you're the Queen of non-profit social media – on and off Google! For business bloggers starting out, staying with one niche for a while helps SEO and their brand.

John, your sincerity is genuinely felt in your posts, tweets and retweeting! I love these basic questions and think that answering these questions brings you directly to the point of where you need/want to be and what you need to do next. When I witness another person genuinely investing their thoughts, interests etc in another, it makes me want to know that person more. Viewing your “competitors” as your “community” I think is what really makes a difference. Great post!
