Your niche sits where three things overlap: what you actually enjoy making, what you know or can speak on, and what brands in that space pay for. Pick that intersection, not a passion nobody pays for or a paid topic you secretly hate. Then commit for a few months before you judge it, one week is not a test. You can niche down further later as you see what lands. A clear lane gives people a reason to follow you and brands a reason to hire you.
Find the overlap
Enjoy it, know it, and brands pay for it. Your niche lives where all three meet.
Avoid the traps
A passion nobody pays for, or a paying topic you hate. Both burn out fast.
Commit to test it
Give a niche months, not days. You cannot judge a lane off one quiet week.
Narrow over time
Start workable, then niche down as you see what your audience responds to.
