In the freelance world, having a game-changing strategy of niching down can greatly impact business growth. Niching down involves narrowing your focus within your business to serve a specific market segment or target audience. In this week’s episode, we discuss how this approach is not only crucial for ad managers but for all freelance professionals in the competitive market. Niching down allows you to provide exceptional value to a specific niche, enabling you to charge higher rates, attract clients more easily, and streamline your systems. This focus aligns with the 3 pillars of success – consistent clients, expert knowledge, and scalable systems.

Topics Covered In This Episode:
1. Niching down involves narrowing your focus within your business to serve a specific market segment or target audience, providing exceptional value in that niche.

2. Specializing in a niche allows for higher profits, easier client attraction, and the opportunity to charge more based on the value brought to the table.

3. Niching down is essential for standing out in the competitive freelance market, as clients seek experts rather than generalists.

4. The three-layer deep niche test is a powerful way to narrow down your niche and specialize in a particular area, boosting your competitive advantage.

5. When starting out, it’s beneficial to prioritize either local or online businesses for 90 days to determine which niche aligns best with your interests and goals - listen to your intuition and choose the niche that feels right for you.

6. It's okay to take on clients outside of your niche if they align with your interests and can pay your fee, especially when beginning your freelance business.

7. You have the flexibility to pivot and change your niche at any point, and niching down shouldn't be a reason to delay getting started in your freelance business.

In a world where hustle and the pursuit of "more, more, more" are glorified, it’s important to take an alternative perspective. While I am proud to have gone from earning $30,000 to hitting $250,000 in my first full year as a freelancer, it didn’t come without mistakes along the way. The valuable lessons I learned were not just about what I did, but also about what I intentionally did not do. Here, we’ll cover the five things I didn't do that contributed to my success, and provide actionable steps for hitting revenue goals as a freelancer. 

Topics Covered In This Episode:
