  2. 5 Tips for finding your niche as a freelancer • It’s often better to be a master of one trade than jack of all. In freelancing, finding your niche can have an extremely positive impact on your career. If you’re very good in a specific field of your work which you also enjoy doing more than others, making use of this niche is the best way to take your business to the next level. It can increase the amount of work you get, boost your income and make you happier with what you do. • Finding that niche is a first step towards that. But how do you do it? Here are five tips that will get you well on your way towards finding the thing you’re really good at.

  3. 5 Tips for finding your niche as a freelancer

  4. 1) Try out a lot of stuff • Having different kinds of experiences is one of the most important prerequisites to finding the perfect niche for your business. If you’re not sure what you’re great at, try as many things as you can. Talk to people who focus on different things and think about what drives them. Does it sound like something that you could be into? Try it out. Think of it like this – you have five different kinds of candy. You can either keep eating without switching out of convenience or alternatively try all five and find out what you like most. • Once you have a good idea of the niche possibilities, you can move on to the next step.

  5. 2) Study the market • You don’t want to choose just any niche – it has to be something you perceive as profitable and viable in the long term. So you should know the market. Find out what is up and coming and think about where it will be in five years. If you think that a certain business model is going to disappear soon, building your work around it is probably not a good idea.

  6. 3) Follow your passion • So you’ve tried out a lot of stuff and identified which niches will be profitable in the future. This is where you really narrow it down. What interests you most? What did you have most fun doing? These questions will help you find your passion. Remember, it is not about what is easiest or most convenient. If your heart is not into your work, it will get boring fast.

  7. 4) Become an expert • Now that you have found a potential niche, own it. Chances are, you already know quite a bit about it. But “quite a bit” is not enough, you have to push your advantage even further. Don’t just know more than most, be one of the few that know as much. Read articles, find books on the subject or look for insights from the leading figures of that particular field. This is how you become an expert.

  8. 5) Advertise your expertise • Finding your niche doesn’t mean that your work is done. In a practical sense, it’s just beginning. Share your newfound mastery with the world and focus your business in that direction and. From your company name through the description of your Facebook page, to your email signature – everything should support and be based around your niche. Show confidence that you are the best in your field and clients are bound to come.
