"Every one of these niches is already crowded." โ I hear that. Here's why it's not true.
The categories above are just starting points. Your niche is where your story meets a problem someone will pay to solve.
What transformation have you lived?
Not what you're certified in โ what have you personally been through that you know from the inside out? That lived experience is your most valuable asset.
Can you reliably get someone to the result?
You don't need a decade of experience. You need to be able to map the journey from where your client is to where they want to be. If you've done it, you already know the path.
Do you know where your people are?
If you are your ideal client, you already know where to find them โ because you know where you were looking for answers. Same platforms, same communities, same search terms. Start there.
Your niche is not a trend you pick.
It's a truth you already have.
