How to find your niche as a creator
Find a useful starting point for your work by choosing who it helps, what you enjoy making and what people respond to.
A niche is a starting point, not a box you have to live in forever. Pick one group of people you understand and one thing you can help them do, learn or enjoy. Then see what happens when you share it.
Start with the people
Write down three groups you already know something about. They could be beginner gardeners, local runners or people learning to draw. For each group, ask yourself: what do they ask about, get stuck on or enjoy talking about? Choose a group you would still want to hear from after the tenth conversation.
Find the overlap
List what you like making and what you can explain or show clearly. Look for an overlap with those people's interests. "Drawing" may be too broad to guide your next post. "Sketching city buildings with a pencil on a lunch break" gives you a person, a format and a useful first idea.
Try this sentence: I make [type of work] for [specific people] who want [specific result or feeling]. It is a draft, not a promise. Change it when you learn more.
Test with three small pieces
Make three posts, photos, videos or conversations around that idea. Give each one a different angle: a practical tip, a story from your own experience and a question. Notice which one starts a real conversation. Ask what people would like next instead of guessing from views alone.
If the idea feels forced, adjust it. If the same questions keep coming back, you may have found a useful thread to follow. Once a few people want to talk to each other, give them a reason to gather.
