A "niche" just means the type of business you help. A barber. A gym. A roofer. When you pick one, everything gets easier — your pitch, your proof, your referrals. Here's how to choose.
Specialists win — and charge more
Nobody hires "a marketer." They hire "the person who does barbershops." Niching makes your outreach sharper, your samples reusable, and your referrals compound — because every client knows five others just like them.
Money × gap × volume
Pick a niche where all three are true. If one's missing, keep looking.
Start with your unfair access
Don't overthink it. Look at what you already have a way into:
• A friend or family member who owns a business? Start there.
• Walk your town's main street — what's everywhere? (salons, restaurants, gyms, contractors)
• Pick something you'd genuinely enjoy talking about every day — you'll make content about it for months.
Make it feel real
This is where it clicks. Say you charge a shop $500/month to run their content + loyalty. You don't need 100 clients. You need four to replace a full-time income — and each one refers more.
Commit to one — today
Write it down: "I help ______ get more customers." That one sentence is the foundation for everything — your offer, your outreach, your content. Don't move on until you've filled the blank.
