How to Find Your Niche

There a two aspects to finding your niche. The first is to find the area were you have a particular skill, interest, knowledge or aptitude. The second is to decide if the area is too general  (e.g. like fashion) and if so to find a niche within were you can operate successfully

Finding Your Niche Area or Theme

First you need to research and discover the best theme or niche area that correlates with your interests, desires and abilities.

Here you need to make a list of

• Things you enjoy doing e.g. doing crosswords, writing letters etc
• Things you are good at. e.g. using computers, cooking
• Any special skills e.g. you can play piano, program a computer
• Any Topics or skills you would like to know more about. e.g. learn a language

Once you have a list of at least 10 and maximum 50 then create a list and rank the list in order of preference (i.e. prefer doing crosswords to writing letters) .
