😳 I was stuck for a long time trying to find a niche.

These ideas set me free.

I hope they'll do the same for you! 👇

Finding your niche can be one of the most daunting tasks for a new creator.

Here's how to make it easier:
2/

Realize that finding your niche is usually a process of discovery, not design.

The idea is that as you begin to create content, you'll slowly start to see patterns in what you are drawn to, as well as what resonates with your audience.
3/

Understand that waiting to create content until you decide on a niche can be a sneaky form of procrastination.

For me, it was a subconscious defence mechanism to protect me from potential failure.

If I don't put anything out there, I can't fail.
4/

The best way to avoid competition is to be authentically yourself.

No one else has your unique combination of ideas, beliefs, and life experiences.

Create authentically and you become your niche.
5/

By creating content around your interests you are creating a job you'll love.

You get to research, think, and talk about the things that are most interesting to you, and at the same time you'll be attracting like-minded people who share your interests.
6/

You get to do what you love while building relationships with amazing people.

What can be better than that?
7/

So how do you discover your niche?

You start creating content around whatever topics you're most interested in. 

What do you enjoy reading, thinking, and talking about?
Start with that.
8/

Slowly, you'll start to see what you enjoy talking most about, and what resonates the most with people.

As time goes on, your niche will slowly begin to reveal itself to you.
9/

The most important thing you can do?

Don't wait any longer. Start creating today.
