Back in the day I thought having no competition was the best thing since the Wonderbra.

I frequently sought out niches that had no competitive ebooks, and attempted to stake my claim. I wanted to be the only solution. The queen of the hill.

Today I don’t support that philosophy.

I don’t care if there are competitors because my style and presentation are usually very different from theirs. They get one segment of the audience, and I get another.

Blogger Ron Garret of Rondam Ramblings gave a very on-point explanation in regards to having no competition. Take this one to heart…

“If you have no competition the most likely reason for that is that there’s no money to be made. There are six billion people on this planet, and it’s very unlikely that every last of them will have left a lucrative market niche completely unexploited.

The good news is that it is very likely that your competition sucks. The vast majority of businesses are not run very well. They make shoddy products. They treat their customers and their employees like shit. It’s not hard to find market opportunities where you can go in and kick the competition’s ass. You don’t want no competition, what you want is bad competition. And there’s plenty of that out there.”

Compete on your own strengths and grow rich,
