What if you could start a business today that actually interests you? Not a lame business, not something your parents would say sounds like a decent idea, but something that only excites someone like you?
What if I told you that working on that crazy, "just for you" business idea might lead to more success faster than a more generic, "this will probably work" kind of business idea?
In this episode we tell the story of a Fizzler who literally did both and share what happened in each. The results are like a punch in the gut.
In this hour of the podcast we share Chris' story, the reasons behind the results and several eye-opening examples of non-obvious business ideas.

Chris' story
I've been running Online Passive Income Journey for 10 months. The Fizzle crew always roll their eyes when somebody else shows up with a follow your passion or make money online blog, and with good reason. It's an over-crowded niche full of experts and a newbie will have a heck of a time being heard.
Well, I didn't listen either. I mostly created the blog as a record of what I'm doing and a way to practice so I don't feel like a complete noob when I start blogging in a niche where I can make an impact and where I actually know what I'm talking about and have some level of credibility that I could squander with too ham-fisted a launch.
So I finally launched Sail Mentor a month ago. What a difference!
I wrote a short post with a table to compare the results of months 3-10 (combined) of Online Passive Income Journey vs the 1st month of Sail Mentor. Sail Mentor blew the doors off my older site. In fact, I already have 6 times as many subscribers and I made my first dollar on launch day.
Now, Sail Mentor isn't some sort of huge success or anything, but it's getting real traction and I can actually promote it on social media without being shouted down by all the others doing the same.
I thought it was a really interesting case study in the difference it makes to be credible in your niche and choose the right niche.
Summary:
| OPIJ (7 months) | Sail Mentor (1 Month!) | |
|---|---|---|
| Unique Visitors | 388 | 3101 |
| Email Subscribers | 11 | 59 |
| Gross Income | $0 | $34.45 |
A fraction of the time in a non-competitive space yielded 10x visitors and 6x subscribers.
