1 - Finding Your Brand's Focus
When trying to get started with any project online, you must first focus your brand!
That means asking yourself:
What is it you have to offer, and who are the people you're going to offer this to?
Having a clear direction is essential to create content, attract the right audience, and ultimately make money online.
Choosing a Niche VS Being Your Own Brand:
When establishing your online presence, you have two primary options- choosing a specific niche or branding yourself as a whole. Here’s how they compare:
Choosing a Niche: a specific area of interest or expertise that allows you to focus deeply on a particular topic or audience. No matter how small your niche is- there's always enough to say about it!
Examples: fitness for new moms, budget travel, sustainable fashion, or coding for beginners.
Pros:
Easier to establish yourself as an authority.
Attracts a highly targeted audience.
Content creation is faster because you have a well-defined subject.
Cons:
Limits you to a single topic.
Risk of burnout if you lose interest in the niche.
Being Your Own Brand: Instead of focusing on one niche, you present yourself as the brand—your personality, experiences, and lifestyle become the focus.
Examples: Lifestyle bloggers, vloggers documenting their journey, or entrepreneurs sharing insights across multiple fields.
Pros:
Flexibility to talk about various topics.
Allows authenticity and personal connection with your audience.
Great for multi-passionate individuals.
Cons:
Harder to attract a specific audience initially.
Requires more effort to build trust and establish expertise.
How to Decide?
Think about your passions and goals. Are you passionate about a specific topic that you could see yourself dedicating time to for years? Or do you want to share a diverse range of interests and build a community around your unique perspective?
