1 Identify your niche

The first step is to define your niche, or the specific area of expertise or interest that you want to focus on. This will help you narrow down your target audience, find relevant opportunities, and communicate your unique value proposition. Your niche should be something that you are passionate about, skilled in, and able to offer value to others. For example, if you are a graphic designer, you might specialize in logo design, web design, or illustration.

In my experience there are some relevant questions regarding niche. It's the question of what? What is the niche. The question of what is the first. What service or product are you providing. In what way do this service or product provide added value to other peoples businesses or organizations. The next question after what is how. How is connected to market. Which geographical markets. How is also connected to which people you want and need to cooperate with. When you start something new to attract the market you always need to start with the two questions: what and how.

2 Create valuable content

The next step is to create valuable content that showcases your skills, knowledge, and personality. Content can be anything from blog posts, podcasts, videos, ebooks, courses, or portfolios. The key is to provide useful information, insights, or inspiration that can help your audience solve a problem, learn something new, or achieve a goal. Content also helps you establish your credibility, demonstrate your expertise, and attract potential clients or collaborators.

In my experience the best way of attracting attention to what you provide is to scan the market for important keywords. Words that are in the center of all attention. By using this words in your communication you get focus on what you provide.

3 Engage with your community

The third step is to engage with your community , or the people who share your niche, interests, or goals. This can include other creatives, influencers, mentors, peers, clients, or fans. You can engage with them by joining online platforms, groups, or forums, attending events, workshops, or meetups, commenting on their content, asking questions, giving feedback, or sharing your own content. Engaging with your community helps you build relationships, trust, and rapport, as well as learn from others and discover new opportunities.

In my experience it is important to build a broad network in the industry that you are operating. By connecting to all levels you get a bigger trust for yourself. Keep scientists, researchers, engineers, salespersons, teachers, officers, CEOs and all what you can find. Don't limit your network to one side. Build a wide network in which you collect all sides and levels of the industry. That way you get trust for the person you are.

4 Showcase your work

The fourth step is to showcase your work, or the results of your creative projects, collaborations, or achievements. This can include testimonials, case studies, awards, recognitions, or referrals. Showcasing your work helps you highlight your value, impact, and uniqueness, as well as generate social proof, word-of-mouth, and reputation. You can showcase your work by updating your website, portfolio, or resume, creating a media kit, or reaching out to relevant publications, platforms, or networks.

5 Experiment and innovate

The fifth step is to experiment and innovate, or the process of trying new things, learning new skills, or exploring new ideas. This can include taking on new challenges, joining new projects, or collaborating with new people. Experimenting and innovating helps you expand your horizons, grow your skills, and diversify your portfolio, as well as demonstrate your adaptability, curiosity, and creativity. You can experiment and innovate by following trends, researching best practices, or asking for feedback.

Make sure you always provide more value than initially stated in your offer. Pleasant surprises is what helps the current members of your network recommend you further. It's not just you who is building your network, it's the members of your network as well - they are the true ambassadors of your brand.

6 Negotiate with confidence

The final step is to negotiate with confidence, or the ability to communicate your value, expectations, and goals in a clear, respectful, and win-win way. This can include negotiating your rates, terms, or contracts, as well as your roles, responsibilities, or deliverables. Negotiating with confidence helps you secure better deals, protect your interests, and enhance your satisfaction, as well as showcase your professionalism, assertiveness, and respect. You can negotiate with confidence by preparing well, asking questions, listening actively, and proposing solutions.

Connect with professionals in the same field but with a higher experience Read their posts and share ur experience as an affirmation to the knowledge shared Learn new things from them and ask their opinion, some may respond, some might not...so u know who is open minded Know that those who connected with you, might not have all the time in the world but are willing to share ur profile with their contacts, for opportunities
