RE: Thoughts on Dan Lok's "How To Turn Your Passion Into High Income Skills?"
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I don't necessarily disagree with some of Dan Lok's teachings but there are instances when I just tell myself his way isn't the only way. For one thing, what you can be passionate about may not be marketable at first until you move to a different area or found your niche community to market with. Sometimes it's not really your passion that's driving you down but how much work you want to put into your passion.
Anyone can be a writer pumping out content but there's a certain level of refinement to one's writing that can elevate their status from being a blogger to a novelist or etc. There isn't a one hit solution to approach a single passion and these varieties create different routes that may or may not be as marketable compared to other options.
Your niche has a niche and that fact alone can make a difference in terms of marketability. Learning from cosplayers and their business, some aren't well suited to model their works but are adept at creating the outfits that can rival commercial outfits. There's also photography focused on cosplay as their niche subject. The fact that people just lump it under the umbrella of cosplay as a business undermines what business opportunities can be generated just from the parts that make up the whole.
Specialize in what you are passionate about and then market yourself better is the takeaway here as there's always a market out there for what you may be passionate about.

I think the same.
I took Dan Lok statement in such video, that if your passion is not marketable you can't turn it into a high income skill. But you can learn marketing which is a high income skill and use it for your passion. If you're passion is not marketable by the time you get started you probably need to be a really good marketer to do that though which will take time.
Yeah, that's something he missed too...
Thanks for the Cosplay example! It makes you think of how many sub niches aren't found yet because people who are (thinking of or just) doing them don't know they're doing something different.
The thing about passions being marketable is already starting putting in the work on building personality online. I'm sure if Pewdiepie started his Youtube career he wouldn't be as big as the competition YT has amongst other youtubers. It's just building some personality online that people want to support. Streaming isn't profitable and neither was ads on youtube years ago. He may have aimed to go big and take money from ad revenue but he enjoyed what he did so that made it easier to go along with the grind.
So true~
