Find Your Niche


Large Alice in Wonderland Key Necklace by absolutemarket


Take the test below to see if this will help you find your niche?

Ask yourself a few questions:

What can I do for hours and be happy doing it?
What were you great at when you were young?
What are you great at that others find hard?
What have your friends asked you for advice about?
What would you do even if you didn’t get paid for it?

By answering these questions you may find your Niche.

Let’s take the first question?

“What can you do for hours and be happy doing it?”
Let’s say your answer is working with your hands, that’s fine! Now ask yourself what do I like making using my hands.
Let’s say you like making hats with your hands, now break this down again and ask what type of hats?
Now you got the type of hats.
What’s the hat made of?

Let’s try the second question now?

“What were you great at when you were young?”
This may be hard to think of because some may say: “I was not great at anything...”
If you think more you will see you were great at a lot of things, so make a list.
See if any on the list tie into your answer to the first question?

Let’s try the next question now? 

“What are you great at that others find hard?”
Again some people will say I am not great at anything. You are wrong again.
If you look once more, you will see there is a lot of things that come easy to you that other may or do find hard to do.
Again make a list and see if any on the list tie in with the answers to the first and second questions.

Let’s try the next question now?

“What have your friends asked you for advice about?
This also looks hard to answer at first but as you think about it a few areas will become clear. Again make a list.
Now see if any on the list tie in with the answers to the first questions.

Let’s try the last question now?

“What would you do even if you didn’t get paid for it?”
This is really asking you what you love doing.
This should be easy answer as most people only have a few.
Again make a list and see if any tie in with the answers from before.

By now you should have picture of what you are great at, what you like making and what others know you are great at doing.

Now all you have to do is put your angle on that product and make it your own and this will be your niche.
