Hey, no pressure, if you ever do try one or a couple OR A TON!, keep me in the loop, take a pic if you want, let me know how it was for you - whether you liked it, didn't like it, doesn't matter - it's your tongue, your experience. OK? I think what you're embarking on in Jan is brave and sounds exciting. Good on you. Yes, me & mangoes go back a loooooong way.

I had been working on my site for 5 years before I even knew it was possible to make money with it and I would still be doing it even if i wasn't making a cent. Might not spend quite as much time at it but who knows. I love the idea of reviewing mangoes! Talk about a unique way to make an appearance as a guest blogger. I'm not even totally sure how much I like mangoes (shock! horror!) but I'll find out.

I'm obsessed with mangoes. Might as well write about it - see how far my tongue can stretch. Pocket change would be great - Deep pocket change would be fantastic - Double that and it's 'Sis, me and you are off to New York again, baby!!' Hey Kirsty - just had an idea: if you ever sample any mangoes on your travels, would love for you to guestblog about it on my site. What do you think? …well, i don’t think my site’s a profitable niche - i’m doing it ‘cos i’m GAGA over it! I’m obsessed with mangoes.

I've had to write about things I don't know about for certain sections of some of my websites and it's painful! Plus I know it shows. I can't imagine developing an entire slew of sites around topics a person isn't familiar with. The keywords might be more profitable but writing new content is like pulling teeth then is it really worth it? Not for me. Thanks Carl, welcome aboard.

I like how you stressed the importance of finding a profitable niche. If you are planning on profiting from your website, it doesn't make much sense to talk about subjects that people aren't interested in. On the other hand, I also agree with, "don't build your website on the highest paying keyword". If you are not passionate and knowledgeable about the topic you are writing, people ARE going to sense that. You have to have both a passion and a profitable niche. Great insight. I just subscribed to your feed. :) Kirsty, great article. I like how you stressed the importance of finding a profitable niche.
