The thing is that most people don't see them working unless you are into the niche itself. For example, the Nitro Blueprint system that I studied and was coached on teaches people how to make money online. One example off the top of my head of someone who's successfully applied the course in a totally unrelated niche to "Make Money Online" is Brad Jackson who runs http://www.pumaskills.com/ . Brad cleverly combined the "Magic Tricks" and "Pickup Artist" niches to form his own unique product and it's been very successful. However, unless you're looking to learn magic tricks to pick-up girls you'll probably never run across his product. Instead, if you're mostly into learning about Making Money Online, you'll keep seeing examples of people using these systems in the Make Money Online niche. If these products ONLY applied the techniques to the MMO niche, I would agree with you. It would be a similar to a "Ponzi" scheme, but from my experience about 98% of the people who apply what they learn from MMO systems apply it to totally different niches. They're just invisible, unless you specifically go looking for them. Of COURSE there will always be a small % of people similar to myself who enjoy learning and teaching about how to make money, so I'll pass the information along to the next person who's listening. The "Make Money Online" niche is actually one of the hardest niches to make money in out there because there is so much great information already out there. There are other niches that are WAY easier to make money in. For example, it's probably easier to sell an eBook on "How to Teach Your Kid to Tie His Shoes" than "How to Make Money Online". Hmmmmm... that gives me an idea...:) @Ian: Almost all of the systems I’ve been taught encourage the student to apply the techniques to something outside of the “Make Money Online” niche, and the techniques do in fact work.

If we are closed to all the ideas that are presented to ourselves, it is hard for us to improve on our current situation. Thanks for the great article and tips.

That sounds like a cool book. I might have to add that to my list of books to read on my Sony eBook Reader. @Evan: I thought Subway’s slogan was “Start Fresh!” :) J/K. That sounds like a cool book.

I appreciate your time to spell out the possibilities and make the point that part of the process is risking and learning. That is very true. I started blogging six months ago just to learn something new, and it has been a wonderful journey. Now I'm exploring using what I've learnt to make some money and I'm grateful for blogs like yours which address the topic honestly and helpfully. Thanks very much. You have a loyal reader here!
