It was about "niche" after positive developments currently arising from my experience of "niching" but I think I was a wee bit less than circumspect about my Suite 101 experience. It wasn't terrible or libelous but with the web being so wide open ... and there was a smEll (lol)typo.<BR/>Anyway ...

I'll never be held to a niche again.<BR/><BR/>I think some of it has to do with confidence, too. There are a lot of freelancers who stick to a topics or two out of fear that they wouldn't be good at any others.<BR/><BR/>I like the site you posted- great stuff there, and not your average topics.L.
