Niching Isn’t Limiting—It’s Liberating
Picture this: You’re at a potluck with a single dish to share. Instead of bringing a bland casserole that might appeal to everyone, you whip up your signature spicy mango salsa. Sure, not everyone will dig it, but those who do? They’ll rave about it, ask for seconds, and maybe even start following you on Instagram for more recipes.
That’s niching. It’s about offering your unique flavor to the world and trusting that the right people will eat it up.
The Myth: Niching Narrows Your Audience

It’s a fear we’ve all felt—because who wants to limit their opportunities, right? But here’s the truth: when you niche, you’re not pushing people away; you’re pulling the right ones closer.
Instead of trying to appeal to everyone, niching ensures your message connects with the people who need you most. It’s like switching from a megaphone to a laser pointer—more focused, more effective, and way more impactful.
