Someone sent me a question today over on Wicked Fire asking me:

sorry for all the ????’s – i’m just about to dig into some of this database stuff… or TRY to…. and:

I have a site that I originally purchased for song lyrics. It’s a pretty sweet/memorable domain name and that’s what I would LOVE to use it for. But, I’m afraid the lyrics market is way oversaturated and it will be too difficult to gain any ground/traffic.

I thought about using the site for bible verses or poetry instead. Probably better competitive ability but not as fun. Do you have an opinion on what might be best?

My reply:

I think lyrics sites can still pull well if you get the newest lyrics (which is alot of work to stay on top of)
If you consider combining your site by say using a celebrities wallpaper database with a lyrics database you can spin content and make it relevant AND unique.

But you are right, lyrics is a competitive niche….it wont hurt you to throw something up and take a stab at it….best way to learn is by fucking up…right?

Poetry and Bible wont pull as much traffic as lyrics, so really the truth is that it is all relative. Ya dig? You might have more competition in the lyrics niche, but the keywords in that niche will pull more traffic per keyword then youd pull in the smaller niches….

Id go for the lyrics and try to make my lyrics offering stand out by combining wallpapers, or screensavers or fucking myspace backgrounds for each song lyric.

Good luck.

The reason I  wanted to post this is because after I sent that reply, I realized there is alot more I wanted to say to this guy and all the other folks who have been asking me similar questions. What I really want to say to everyone is:

Just Fucking Do It.

Sometimes you can be your biggest obstacle when it comes to starting new niches or other ventures. I have always found that I have learned best by doing things wrong the first time. Whenever I have an idea, I don’t put it off and waste time asking questions that have no answers. I just dive right in and learn while doing.
