When I started this blog I wrote a post on how important it is for you to really love your niche and what you are doing. A few days ago a friend of mine sent me this video showing a man talking about why he started his shop with hundreds of different sodas and I think it is a great example.
This is his story
John Nese is the proprietor of Galcos Soda Pop Stop in LA. His father ran it as a grocery store, and when the time came for John to take charge, he decided to convert it into the ultimate soda-lovers destination.
About 500 pops line the shelves, sourced lovingly by John from around the world. John has made it his mission to keep small soda-makers afloat and help them find their consumers.
The video
Are you working with the niche you truly love? Tell me more about your niche and how you came up with the idea to work in it.

Hey Stefan!
I couldn’t agree more. I have to say from the moment I have started blogging I have really enjoyed it. It sometimes has become an obsession of mine. From the moment I get up I want to check my blog and read comments check my email. I love creating interesting posts and interacting with readers. I have enjoyed meeting other bloggers and exchanging information and learning new things. My exact niche/passion is still evolving, but it includes blogging.
Hello, Stefan! I guess it’s an inspiring story about a soda entrepreneur you have, though I don’t really like soda actually (it’s not healthy). But the point is loving what we do is just a blessing.. No second of our lifetime is wasted
Even when I was in grade school I had an itching to write and express my self. However, without any means to further it I had stopped. But upon discovering a blog I was able to materialize my dream.
For me blogging is the outlet of my emotions living far away from home. No niche in particular just things coming straight from the heart
My thing is probably different than most where I am constantly writing all kinds of articles, than slapping in an article about one of the business’s I own.
By doing that self promo it really gives me a chance to rake in some revenue.
I don’t think ther can be anybody who can disagree with you on this subject. Niche & subject are gotta be your passion, hands down!
I make sure that I do it for readers, in a very special way.
Fun post! Not many bloggers who would get that compliment, you know!
LOL!
