Thanks for the interview! A "crowded niche" is not a niche, it's just a market. It scares me that everybody and his dog does not understand the definition of a niche... On another note, there is no such thing as a newsletter industry, a newsletter is a content tool that can be used in every industry, hence there won't be an overall "bubble" either when it comes to newsletters, as he mentions in the interview. Depending on the industry you are in though, you might have growth rates that will potentially create bubbles, but this can happen in every hyped-up industry with disproportional growth.

i have been introduced to creating newsletters from my social media teacher and he thinks there is a big audience for blogs. what do you think? If I put my niche in the pet space to the test and create more content, will I be successful?
