Are you brand new to the world of freelancing, or just getting started in your new virtual business, but you not being able to choose a niche is causing hesitation?
Finding a niche can feel overwhelming for new freelancers, because you’ve likely never done some of these tasks before! I always like to say, “we don’t know what we don’t know.” But there is good news; you have natural strengths and transferrable skills that make you totally qualified to dive in.
So, how do you narrow down what you like or don’t like, when you’re unsure of what you want to do? In this episode, Craig Canning of Freelance University and I dive into how to figure out your niche, tools to use, and a special event, you don’t want to miss!
In Today’s Episode We Discuss:
- The Niche Identification Matrix
- Matching your personality to your niche
- Feeding the spark to find your passion
- Matching your work skills to your niche
- The importance of finding a profitable niche
Let me introduce my friend, Craig Cannings. He’s the co-founder of Freelance U with his wife, Kelly. Craig has helped over 20,000 students realize their dreams of launching a freelance business (and lifestyle). He enjoys the freedom of working from home, traveling abroad and raising 5 wonderful daughters. At Freelance U they specialize in training freelancers to master different types of niches.
Craig shares the 4 “P’s” to discover what you want to do. It’s called “The Niche Identification Matrix.” The matrix helps the students find their niche. 1.) Personality, align work with what you want to do 2.) Passion, look at options you are interested in. 3.) Proficiencies, know your capabilities or transferable skills. 4. ) Profitable Niches, a viable service, something needed.
In the Free Mama Community we talk about niching down and finding your specialty. So… ya’ll know I love to share opportunities and perspectives with you and for almost a year now, I have been planning something!
