83 Camaro...
You have expressed what is known as a "self - defeating" prophecy man.
I won't quote everything you have said, nor will I travel down the mentality path, as others have made the point quite clearly that you need to improve your "whoa is me" attitude when it comes to this. Harsh reality? Yes...but reality it is.
You need to just quit hesitating, pick your favorite topic (Nascar could be it)...and run with it. There is a niche within a subject as broad as Nascar that you can make money with. Even if it seems "too crowded",
it isn't, you just are not looking hard enough.
You will need to work at this to make money, period. Writing articles...creating a blog...driving traffic using other marketing methods...all take time and effort.
And article marketing is a good, low cost way to gain traffic and establish you as an expert. But I am going to go "against the grain" here...
You need to write the articles yourself.
Why?
Because it will help you research your niche and become an expert in it that no one will be able to compete with. Also, your business is not at the point in my estimation where outsourcing article writing will be effective for you yet.
So S T O P.
Pick your subject, only one subject, and
focus on it.
And this subject has to be something you are passionate about, period. Do not make any one site about something you are not passionate about.
That will give you a good start. Become the expert in your subject.
Write articles about it...if you lack the motivation to write them yourself, maybe Internet Marketing is not for you.
Do not skip this step. Write your own stuff. Later on, you will be able to use your own content to make reports and other marketing materials, along with courses you may be able to sell.
But you have to generate your own content.
When you are making the thousands of dollars per day that the "gurus" are making...then you can consider outsourcing.
Until then...
You will invest some time building "momentum"...which will eventually generate the capital to outsource and leverage your efforts, and at that point it will get easier and easier to make a good chunk of money doing this.
