šŸ™ To generalize or to specialize?

my answer on picking a "niche" (plus an AI prompt to help you nail it)

Hey there, solopreneur!

Imagine this: You're at a networking event, handing out business cards to anyone who will take one.

"I'm a marketing consultant," you say with an overly enthusiastic grin.

"I can help with branding, websites, social media, SEO, PPC, email marketing, and even carrier pigeon training..."

The poor soul you're talking to slowly inches away, looking for the nearest escape route.

Does this ring a bell?

When you're a generalist, you're not just a small fish in a big pond. You're more like plankton, floating around in a vast ocean of sameness.

And trust me, being plankton isn't exactly a lucrative gig.

But what if I said there's a way to transform from plankton to the top dog in your market?

It all boils down to one simple idea:

Niching down.

"When you're one of a million, you're a commodity. When you're one of a kind, you're a legend."

Today, we're going to explore how you can use the wizardry of AI to uncover a hyper-specific, insanely profitable niche that perfectly aligns with your unique skills and passions.

  • How I went from struggling generalist to niche dominator (and how you can too)

Letā€™s. Niche. Down. šŸ¤æ

How I went from 0 to 100k followers in 65 days

Why "The Riches Are In The Niches" Is More Than Just A Catchy Phrase

You just walked into a restaurant that proudly proclaims, "We serve everything!"

Burgers? Check. Sushi? You got it. Tacos? Of course. Pizza? Duh.

Sounds great, right? Until you realize that they're masters of none.

Jack of all trades, but ace of none.

Now picture a cozy little joint that serves the best damn pizza you've ever tasted.

They've spent years perfecting their craft, sourcing the finest ingredients, and delivering a pizza experience that's out of this world.

Who do you think is going to have customers lined up around the block?

The same principle applies to your business.

When you try to be everything to everyone, you blend in with the masses.

You're just another generic:

  • "Web designer"

  • ā€œLife coach"

  • ā€œFitness trainer"

But when you niche down and focus on serving a specific group of people with a specific problem?

When you connect 2 unrelated fields, like:

  • AI for solopreneurs

  • Email course writing for dentists

  • Short-form video editing for fashion influencers

That's when the magic happens.

3 reasons why niching down is the key to striking gold in your business:

  1. You become the go-to expert in your field. You're not just another generalist blending in with the crowd. You're the specialist that your ideal clients seek out when they need a specific problem solved.

  2. You can charge premium prices for your expertise.
    Because your knowledge is specialized and in high demand, you can command top-dollar for your services. No more competing on price or racing to the bottom. When you're the go-to expert, clients are happy to pay a premium for your expertise.

  3. You can create irresistible offers that practically sell themselves. When you know your niche inside and out, you can create products and services that are tailor-made for your ideal client's specific needs and desires. No more guessing or trying to please everyone. Just insanely valuable offers that your niche can't resist.

Because when someone has a problem, they don't want a generalist.

Theyā€™re looking to solve ONE specific problem ā€” and they want the best damn solution they can find.

And that's where you come in.

By honing in on one specific niche, you have the luxury of focusing on one client archetype.

This means you can dive deep into their world, understand their unique challenges, and craft a solution that's tailor-made for them.

When you're a generalist, it's impossible to do this.

But how do you actually find your niche?

And once you do, how do you make sure it's profitable?

That's where AI comes to the rescue.

Cā€™mon, Iā€™ll show you howā€¦

SIDE NOTE: Now, this doesnā€™t mean that you have to ONLY talk about your specific offer in your content.

You can talk about whatever you like.

After all, itā€™s your PERSONAL brand. And people are attracted to people who have a diverse range of interests.

But when it comes to your actual business offer, keep it specific.
