Niche Pursuits Podcast: Find Your Next "Niche" Business Idea!

In podcast 19 of the Niche Pursuits Podcast, I was able to sit down with Elaine Heney and discuss her business of building mobile phone applications.  She has currently built over 200 iPhone or Android Apps and only started about a year ago!

I was completely amazed at the success she is having, and knew I had to have her on the show.

Elaine has an interesting story because she's not a programmer and was just tired of working for someone else (sound familiar?).  After creating her first app, she saw a little bit of success...not much, but enough to keep her intrigued by the app market.  As a result, she did something that I could never do...she quit her job before she was really making much money!

She decided that she was going to give herself a few months to do nothing but work on her iPhone app business...and well, it turns out that it worked big time!

She has now built over 200 mobile phone applications and is comfortably living off this full-time business.  She share tips on building iPhone apps and more on her blog at: TheChocolateLabApps.com.

A little while ago, I shared the success story of Jon Haver from AuthorityWebsiteIncome.com.  If you haven't had a chance to read it yet, I highly recommend you check out what he is doing and how he is doing it.

Jon has set a goal for himself to be making $15k per month by his 35th birthday.   He wants to achieve this primarily through building websites and monetizing those sites.  And he's well on his way!

I wanted to sit down with Jon and dig a little bit deeper into how he's built a site that is making $3,000 per month.  So, in this podcast you will here more details on that site, along with tons of other awesome strategies that are working for him.

This podcast is a little different as well.

I tried to keep it a bit less formal, and more just like Jon and I sitting down for a casual conversation about business.  So, I ask Jon some questions and Jon asks me some questions, and we just talk shop.

I interviewed Jamie Wilson who is a stay at home mom, but also a successful entrepreneur. 

In fact, throughout the interview we dig into 2 successful sites that she owns: OrganicBambooClothing.com and JellyBeanQuilts.com.  Jelly Bean Quilts is currently her biggest money maker, and quite honestly, I think is a pretty cool business (yep I have kids!).

I found out about Jamie because she submitted her "Success" story to me following these guidelines here.  After reading it, I decided I needed to have her on the podcast, and I'm glad I did!  She shares tons or really cool tips and tricks.

As a result, I have the text that she sent in for her success story, so I'm going to share below.  The podcast follows a very similar format to what you see below; but there are TONS of points we discuss in the podcast that is not included below.  So, I recommend both reading and listening to get all the great information that Jamie has to share.
