Welcome back to another episode of the Sufficiently Social Podcast! Today, I want to talk about how to find your niche. It’s so important to choose a niche that aligns with your own interests and values, because this will help you create content that you are truly passionate about.
Think about it this way: If you were given 30 minutes to talk about anything without preparation, what would you choose? This is likely something you're passionate about and already knowledgeable in. It could be anything from sharing your experiences as a mom to talking about your fishing adventures. The key is to choose a niche that brings you joy.
I've come up with three journal prompts to help you:
1. If you could get paid to do and talk about anything for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
2. If money was not an issue, what would you pursue and why?
3. What were your happiest moments in life and why?
Take some time to reflect on these prompts. They will help you identify the topics you enjoy and want to create content around!
Once you've identified your potential niche, it's time to conduct some market research. Websites like Answer the Public and Quora are excellent resources for gathering information about the questions and topics people are interested in within your niche.
Don't forget to explore magazines related to your target audience or industry. They often provide insights into popular topics and trends. Facebook groups are another valuable source of information. They can give you a glimpse into what people are asking and discussing within specific niches.
Finding your niche is not a one-time event. It's a process that involves experimenting and testing different types of content to see what resonates with your audience. Remember, your focus should be on serving and engaging with your audience!
If you need help navigating the challenges of finding and growing your niche, consider joining The Sufficiently Social Society. It's a learning platform where I provide deeper strategies and one-on-one experiences to help content creators like you.
Thank you for tuning in to this episode! Let's dive into the world of niches and create content that truly resonates with our audience!

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
