??What is a Freelance Writing Niche?

A freelancing niche is an industry in which you provide your writing types.

Suppose you are a blog writer. You specialize in writing blogs for B2B companies in SaaS (Industries that give licensed software to use as their service). Then your niche is SaaS because the industry in which you specialize is SaaS.

Blog Writing is the type of writing aka service which you are offering! I hope this clears your doubt about “what is a niche?”

?? Why do you need a Freelance Writing Niche?

Every freelancer in beginning is a generalist, ie don't have a particular niche. It is with time after you explore you get to know where your interest really lies!

But believe me, you should not stay a generalist your entire life having a broad knowledge of diverse fields. You need to have expertise in a few niches. Why is it important anyways?

??By being a generalist you would earn a decent amount, but at some point, there would be a benchmark for your income. You won’t earn more than that “X” amount.?

?? Clients generally don't prefer paying big bucks to generalists because of the lack of expertise in any field. So high ticket clients get difficult to be converted.

?? To ensure some kind of stability in your income it's good to be a specialist.

??Bonus tip:- It's better if you be a T-shaped specialist. These people specialize in a few niches and have a breadth of knowledge in others. This makes you more valuable!

??How do you choose your Freelancing Niche?

So it's purely based on your interest buddy!

Your freelance niche should be that one which answers all the below questions:-

1. Why does this niche excite me?

2. Will I be able to continue with this for the rest of my life?

3. How profitable this is?

Initially, it will be super confusing when you see a plethora of niches listed all over the web and on the profiles of industry experts. Don't be baffled! Stay Calm! Take a pen and note down all the niches regardless of your interests.

After jotting down them together think quietly about which niches you don't wanna work with at the first glance itself. Eliminate them. Ponder over the rest!

Now select 4-5 of them that appeal to you a bit and start creating your sample content around them.?

Eventually during writing, researching, and exploring you will have a better idea of which niche you won't regret scratching your head and gazing over that lizard in the top corner of your room!

Well, clients also sometimes help us out with our niches. We may get frequent client proposals for writeup around a niche which helps us to analyze its demand and also how our writing style appeals to them!

Just be open and attentive in this process, that's it!
