I guess I am on the opposite end of things than many of you here....I got started in a non-IM niche...and am now looking to sell a course in the IM niche that I created. I can tell you one thing....the people in the IM niche are VERY leary of trusting anyone. I have hateful comments on my FB page for my site...even though I've never done anything to these ppl, and I'm offering a fair amount of free content right there on FB. I understand many folks feel ripped off from some of the stuff they've bought...but wow the level of "us vs. the gurus" hatred is unbelievable!

Secondly, it's not easy to get ppl to promote my site....my fault for thinking people established in the IM niche would promote my product just because I poured every ounce of my being into it for several months. How naive, Matt. Well anyways I am learning now and adapting/overcoming the hurdles before me...and trying to create some good will/rapport in this niche.
