Summary
## Key takeaways - **You Are the Niche**: The most authentic, profitable, and unique niche is you. Build a product or service that you would actually buy, use, and benefit from, then market to your past and current self. [00:00], [07:07] - **Business Matrix Trap**: The business matrix tells you to pick a skill, pick a niche, and repeat the mechanical lifestyle you wanted to escape.

[01:16], [01:56] - **Freelancing Niche Failures**: Dan tried freelancing in video editing, graphic design, SEO, and more, targeting dentists, gyms, and pest control, but hated working with them and lacked experience in their businesses.

the most authentic profitable and unique Niche is you I first realized this after years of pain because the first thing that you come across when you embark on
your journey to becoming a free individual is Niche down and just like the social Matrix there is a business Matrix now the social Matrix or just the
Matrix that everyone talks about is a web of ideas and beliefs that act as anchors for your mind to make sense of the world the Govern and culture influence the school system the school
system creates resources for students to learn from the students don't question what they're taught the students go on to be parents the parents teach their children what they know and send them to school the children make friends and
conform further to fit in the children grow up get jobs become teachers become parents become politicians and create the knowledge and resources online and Offline that influence culture the
parents students and children vote the cycle continues to create the society we live in now this isn't a bad thing this is just how we learn to survive but if we don't question what we learned along
the way during our upbringing as we're children learning from our parents and being given a very limited worldview we don't know our potential or what we're capable of or what lies in the unknown
if we don't question what we learn we end up a clone like everyone else now the business Matrix in contrast to the social Matrix is just a web of ideas and
beliefs that illustrates how businesses are supposed to operate think of it as the advice or education you get on how to start a business usually from people
online pick a skill pick a niche and do the same thing all over again do work you don't care about for people you don't care about to live a life you don't care about you are a human you
learn by being exposed to beginner level knowledge then intermediate and advanced the thing is who questioned this beginner level Knowledge from the start are we absolutely sure it is the best
way to go about things is it the most conducive to results or does it cause more confusion that makes people quit too early you decided to start a business because you wanted to escape the mechanical and meaningless lifestyle
not to create a new one where you can just earn a bit more than you did before at a job now those who learn to break free of this business Matrix can do whatever they want but you can't break
free in an instant because that's just not how things work first you learn the rules of the game and then you kind of create your own rules of the game without breaking the other rules so you need to play the game that others want
for you like you would in society with learning from your parents but then eventually you reflect and you question you think okay what can I actually do how can I actually create my own game and get better results than those who
came before me now my goal with this video is to give you a complete outline of what your Niche is and that outline will contain pretty much the all of your content topics that you'll ever talk
about ever throughout the entirety of your brand to create your niche of one so we're going to go over some philosophical stuff first which I feel like will help a lot of people in understanding what a niche is and this
entire you are the niche philosophy and then we're going to go into how to actually create your Niche and have it on paper what it actually is so you can use that and then we'll of course bake
in common questions like okay well what if people don't find my interest interesting and how do I start to talk about any interest that I want so let's dive into it when I began my business
journey I started with freelancing I thought it was the most beginner friendly option because all I had to do was learn a skill sell a skill so I decided to try my hand at freelancing with almost every skill you can think of
video editing graphic design SEO content marketing Facebook ads and web design my pain point was always choosing a niche I would download free guides and I would
endlessly search on Google for the top 100 niches to Target I targeted dentists and gyms and construction companies and pest control and a lot more but what are the problems with this approach first
first is I don't care about these people I would and did hate working with them this isn't a sustainable approach to something as important as your life's work you're starting a business for a reason and it isn't to just have a new
boss now some people argue like oh business doesn't have to be your life's work it can just be a way to make money it's like I agree but if the end goal is to just pursue your life's work after
you start a business and generate some cash flow and you can pursue your life's work just by starting a business in the first place like what's the the dissonance there it just feels like laziness to me and like you want the
get-rich quick option which probably isn't going to work out as well as you think it is the second thing is I don't have experience with their business most businesses fail because they try to solve a problem they haven't experienced
remember that feel free to come back to me when you ignore this and fail third is it prioritizes finding not attracting or becoming you learn a skill for someone else you search endlessly for people to reach out to and end up
spending more time on lead generation than building leverage so so one thing I want you to keep in mind for the remainder of this video is that I'm usually speaking under the lens of building an audience because this is a
new traffic mechanism for businesses building a social media audience right building an audience is just how you build a business it's always been how you build a business with media and advertising and whatever it may be now
with social media where all of the attention is because it's I mean it's on the radio and on TV and other things but most of the attention is on social media
and is such a blessing for individuals who understand that they can just write content and build an audience and build a business that way so that's what sparked this whole you are the niche
thing is that many people are operating from 20 to 30y Old business mindsets and trying to apply that to the modern social media age when they just don't understand social media or how it works
so that's what I'm hoping to change here is making you understand that as one person you can build an audience and you can start a hyper profitable Business Without boxing yourself into a specific
Niche will learn how to do it it's no wonder people don't stick to building a business the business ideology circling the space have dominated for too long they are shallow and lack regard for
human nature psychology and fulfillment and that's just the thing things evolve Beyond being shallow there are better ways to start a business now so we're going to learn how to create our own
Niche that is profitable authentic and something you actually enjoy doing first we'll start with a few lessons that will spare you a lot of pain first is that the endless shiny object syndrome you have with finding a niche is a blatant
sign that business hasn't clicked for you yet you don't understand it you haven't failed enough you haven't produced enough you can make any Niche work that's why it's wise to create your own the second lesson is to build a
product or service that you would actually buy use and benefit from there aren't many shortcuts in business but this is one of them when you do that you become the niche and you can focus on
marketing to your past and current self so now let's talk about why the most profitable Niche is you build a product that you would buy use and benefit from write the words that you
would stop read and act on when you know yourself you get to skip ahead of the 99% of failed businesses that haven't experienced the problems they are trying to solve most people don't understand
that they belong to a very specific Niche you already follow a broad number of people that talk about a variety of different interests and that's what's
created your current personality it or identity because your personality or identity are created by the information that you're repeatedly exposed to and that you deem important and worth accepting into your mind so this is
mistake number one when creating your Niche if your job is to Target a specific person and you are a specific person why are you narrowing in on one specific interest that you want to sell
a product or service around do you not have more than one interest do you not already follow people that talk about their opinions their values their lifestyle and their expertise no talking
about one specific skill or interest won't make you more authoritative no people won't trust you more at best you'll look like a glorified search engine of actionable advice so that's one major difference between building an
audience before and having like a way to Target actual people with something like paid ads and social media is that social media you don't really control where your content goes it's
placed in front of people at random according to their likes and interests from the algorithm sure but it's mostly random people who have no idea who you are or what you do so when they only talk to that Niche they have more
difficulty at the start fewer people share their content so they can't get in front of the right people and they may grow to 5,000 followers in a year when someone who Incorporated their interest can grow to 20,000 in a year after 3
years the first gets to 30,000 followers and the second gets to 300,000 because of the compounding effect but Dan those 300,000 followers don't care about my product or service they're not hot leads they aren't going to buy from me right
away they're useless there's a lot to unpack pack there because I hear that all the time it's like if I just talk about my interests the the people aren't going to buy my product or service first if those 300,000 followers each know
three to five people that they can refer to you that's a 900,000 to 1,500,000 follower audience thanks to the network effect all while 30,000 follower hyper Niche down guy is struggling to have
enough leverage to get out of manual client work so that's one thing is like this is all nuanced if you want to build a very specific audience so that you can land clients and sustain
your work that's perfectly fine but if you want to evolve and have a lot of Leverage to not only build digital products or build other businesses or having a big Network to build that
startup that you want to build or just choose this direction because it's more fun and if you only want to do freelance work like you would with the niche down audience you can still get the same if
not better results doing it and enjoy the process more another thing here is that it's not just like oh if I post about my interest my entire business is dead my brand is dead that's not how
this thing works people get like since money is tied to it they get in such this narrow-minded state where they're like oh my God if I make one mistake my entire life is at risk my entire
business is at risk I'm not Landing any more clients that's not how it works you're getting thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Impressions on specific pieces of content if you can't turn any
of those into clients no matter what audience that is via referrals or just persuasion then you probably shouldn't be in business or you just need to upskill yourself in Persuasion and
marketing more so the second thing there with not attracting people that are already hot leads ready to buy the product or service that you offer is that they're not supposed to buy from
you right away that's the entire purpose of writing content you help them go from beginner content to Advanced product with time you create customers by raising them up the levels of awareness
you attract with social media educate with newsletters emails or free downloads and help them Implement with your product or service so brand is to attract content is to nurture product is
to implement and the third thing with this is that nobody is a useless follower you are just so narrow-minded and indoctrinated with outdated business Dogma that you don't understand that people can learn something new that
improves their life the lesson you can go on social media right now read a post and become interested in a new topic you aren't just born with specific interests you are persuaded of their importance like how lifting weights can give you
confidence improve your health and make you look good so you slowly adopt them as an interest then you become a part of that Niche so your job is to argue why your interests are valuable to adopt all
of your content is persuasive arguments like how this video argues that you are the niche meaning you aren't targeting a niche you are a niche and your job is to persuade people to join it by the way I
teach all of this in digital economics Link in the description now we need to talk about what a niche actually is is a niche is a perspective or worldview
become a nobody become everything become a designer writer marketer socializer Runner bodybuilder philosopher scientist psychologist and polymath who knows how to sustain your obsessive curiosity the
universe rewards those who don't impose their own limits so let's break down what a niche actually is when you are the niche and you are constantly changing and evolving because you're
improving hopefully then you are nicheless if you aren't constantly involving and improving and your Niche isn't changing then you aren't changing and you're probably in the wrong type of business and it's not going to be
sustainable as an example you can be like zubie who makes music and sells tickets to his show one day and then talks about politics another day and then sells a fitness ebook the next day
and he's doing perfectly fine or you can be like Hamza who has an extremely broad Niche like self-improvement which encapsulates literally everything and I'm talking everything everything
valuable or actually worth pursuing is self-improvement going to Mars is self-improvement on a collective scale Elon Musk his Niche is self-improvement but at that point it's just an expanded
version of self it's an expanded sense of self where self you have begun to identify with Humanity as a whole You've expanded your circle of concern and so now your products are spaceships and
stuff like that but with Hamza and self-improvement he talks about confidence and masculinity and dating and fitness and business and all of these other things where he's not in a
very hyp specific Niche there he is the niche because he is a self-improver that's his identity your identity is your Niche or put more practically your
Niche is what you are interested in and why it's important to your life you don't box yourself into hypers specific skills or interests that you will outgrow because you are human you will grow bored of it or it will no longer
serve you like talking about agency work because you change what you do as your business grows locking yourself into a need makes it extremely difficult to develop yourself Beyond it your business evolves as you evolve if your business
is a narrow Niche you limit your own potential so now why are you told to Niche down in the first place so you can understand the minds of your readers and customers you're told to create a customer Avatar identify a burning
problem they face and position a solution toward them the solution is often the same as any other product on the market with small changes the point is to make it perceived as valuable to a specific person by understanding them so
a hack here is to rec create what already exists but better and don't over complicate it the thing there is is that all products are the same like all self-help products are the same all business products are the same they're just positioned towards different people
that's why creating a niche is important it's because I can talk about writing and someone else can talk about writing but it's too completely different people and that's what makes it unique but I Target my past and former self for the
goals that and problems the problems that they're trying to solve in the goals that they're trying to achieve so I position it towards them another writer May position it towards soccer moms because they are a soccer mom or they just wanted to Target that Niche
that's why we're doing this here but targeting yourself is just so much easier and it goes layer deeper than just making money or business it's about self-improvement self-awareness and actually Building Products that help
people's lives and working with people that you enjoy so why don't we skip all of that and treat ourselves as the customer Avatar solve problems that we've actually experienced and build a solution that actually benefits our
lives and then once you grow as a person as an individual your products start to evolve and you just build a new product and distribute a new product in essence a customer Avatar is the mind worldview
or perspective of someone you are creating for or marketing toward so from a structural standpoint a worldview or perspective is composed of a few things
the first is just goals the conscious or unconscious goals that influence every single action you take like taking one step forward or going to the gym when I say one step forward I literally mean
taking a step you are acting towards a goal you're moving in a specific Direction everything you do is associated with some goal it's just
unconscious self-generated goals put you in control of your life the entire what's the young quote Carl Young quote uh if you if you don't make the
unconscious conscious then it will determine your fate and control your life something like that but it's just presence mindful living becoming conscious a person with the assigned goal of society to retire at 60 years old will see fewer business
opportunities than a person with a self-generated goal of Financial Freedom at 25 years old goals also frame how you or your readers interpret books and content two people with different goals will have radically different highlights
of the books and content they will notice the things that Aid in their goals whether they are aware of it or not so the second thing that composes a niche or worldview or identity is
problems the conscious or unconscious problems that prevent you from reaching your goals and ideal Lifestyle the foundation of marketing as a whole is to raise your readers levels of awareness
surrounding their problems over time so if you've solved your own problems and are helping your audience do the same you are in a great position the five levels of awareness are one unaware
which is unaware of their problem and how it is hurting their quality of life two is problem aware so aware of their problem but don't know how to solve it three is solution aware so they're aware of their problem and know there's a
solution education or knowledge to solve it fourth is product aware so they're aware of the problem and know there's a streamline path or system to solve it and fifth is most aware so they are ready to change they just need the right
why that changes Behavior instantly like when you read an idea in the book and it changes your entire outlook on life so all content and your landing pages and your products and whatever it may be
have to Target the person at whatever level of awareness they're at in relation to the goals or problems that compose your world view that you can help them achieve so the goals of your brand your vision for the future the
problems along the way how are you positioning the content education Insight whatever it may be opinions to them in a way that's understandable so top of funnel social media content is
usually in between levels awareness levels one and three that's who you're writing to it's mostly beginner level then newsletter or a free download is usually a Step Beyond that it's like two
to four and then during that you target the most aware level five to sell them on your product on your landing page when you're world viiew is your Niche your job is to write in a creative
fashion that increases people's awareness of their problems that way they act on a solution toward reaching their goals another way to think of it is that every piece of content you write and every product you build helps people
learn the knowledge or skills that allow them to reach the goals of your brand the bigger the goal the more people you can attract and help you help them Reach the goal by solving problems or pain points so your content and products
argue why achieving a specific goal is important and give them the knowledge tools and education to solve the problem standing in the way now the third thing the last thing there's goals which gives
people Direction it is motivation or it entices people to be attracted to you the problems are what you help people solve to actually change their life but how do you actually solve the problems that's the potential paths that they can
take that's number three when people don't have Clarity on their next steps they feel anxious overwhelmed or bored this is what causes arguments and relationships dissonance and business and battles between political parties
people who don't share the same worldviews are missing pieces of the other party's path narrative or system that allows them to make sense of that situation so when you are the niche your
job is to create a holistic step-by-step path that you can share with readers who have your same worldview usually in the form of a product or service that you can be paid for that way they're more likely to actually get results and
understand you but there's a reason why my philosophical content introduces a lot of people to business it's because they're learning it better from me because we have a very similar worldview
and it makes more sense to them I'm not the most like hyper practical guy who's going to walk you through step by step okay here's how you make a million in whatever amount of time I still do that
but I bake in the philosophy so that people who aren't yet in business but have the potential to do very well in business I can teach them best they're going to learn from me best so beyond
goals and problems and potential paths or systems or products people can take to reach the goal and solve the problem there are of course other things in the human psyche that influence how people
perceive and act on those goals and problems things like prior experiences firm and loose beliefs and skill levels across all domains of life all of the above can be conscious unconscious known
or unknown your entire job as an education brand is to raise the consciousness of your audience and the note by education brand I mean a brand that gives actual value a creator that teaches Their audience and improves
their life not an influencer that posts half naked pictures flexes their lifestyle or post self-deprecation memes make your audience conscious of their goals and problems argue the importance of the goals and illustrate the impact
of their problems show the benefits of achieving the goal and pains of not solving the problem this is persuasion 101 your Niche is the frame of big goals and burning problems that compose your
worldview your job is to program the minds of your audience to adopt this Frame or worldview pursue those goals and solve those problems this is a massive yet fulfilling undertaking to live a life of purpose so in a nutshell
you're attracting people to the goal you're helping them solve the problems with your content and your product is the implementation it's how they actually go about solving the problem by changing their behavior now since you
have to persuade and change people's minds you have to understand that this is a big responsibility this is taking on a lot of responsibility and emotional
labor for your life that can be very fulfilling and it can also turn very bad if you are not developed or ethical enough to be doing this type of work niches are supposed to be specific and
what is more specific than this a desirable goal that will change your life and your reader lives which is brand a burning problem that will ease your suffering and your reader suffering
which is content a clear path system or solution to bring you Clarity and your reader Clarity which is product the goals and problems will almost always be similar to someone else's everyone has
the same goals and problems in the Eternal markets health wealth relationships and happiness but the path the path is singular to you everyone wants wants Financial Freedom but two
people have to take different paths you may go the social media and online business route with e-commerce and the unique skills mindset and experience associated with that another may go the investing and real estate route with
another unique combination of skills and interests but remember that every other skill or interest you learn along the way also AIDS in you achieving those goals if journaling going on a walk or
playing video games were included on that path to Financial Freedom in this case no matter how direct to achieving your goal it still played a role in you achieving your goal all of the beliefs skills and billions of bits of
information you process along the way toward achieving your goals is the most unique niche in the world your job is to document your mind and experience on the internet that's it your job is to
attract a specific group of people you do this by writing ideas in a way that makes sense to you from your worldview from your point of view the specific group of people are those with your same personality that's how you set yourself
up to create a product for yourself that sells without market research so just the practicality of that is when you notice an idea post it but from your own
point of view That's What Makes You unique take the ideas that already work and post them under your brand we'll talk about that a bit more but now we actually have to outline your Niche we need to create the book of your life
that you are going to write with content and products so this is how you create your niche of one when you document your life on the internet you create your niche of one the mindset and skill set of of your past present and future self
should be Illustrated in a persuasive manner to attract those with a similar personality but are a few steps behind you so you can actually help them you are going to outline the structure of a book you would write about your life
this will be used for pattern recognition and content creation so by creating an outline in anything you have this outline and because it's there you're going to notice more ideas in conversations or in the books you read
or in the content that you read and you're going to be able to notice that fill in the outline or just post post or create the product or whatever it may be you'll notice more opportunities for yourself also you're going to use this
as a Content plan for the next one to three years or just one year and then repeat and refine all of that content over the next year and then the next year so you're going to post these as newsletters and you're going to break that down into content ideas you're
going to post them on social media you're going to write threads you're going to do everything to illustrate your worldview your skill set your interest your mindset everything about you in a valuable way not just whatever
way you want to do it but a valuable way because the thing here is that brand is created over 6 to 12 months like people just don't see your brand and are like oh yep that's your brand a brand is the
depth behind everything it's the values it's the vision it's the goals it's the problems you help solve it's everything and you can't just illustrate that with one piece of content so understand that all of this happens over the course of 6
to 12 months that's how long it takes for people to uh see you as an authority and trust you so with that fill out the books structure that we're going to go over right now for someone who is one to
three steps behind you and if you want to learn how to write out this book outline I would consider downloading my 2hour writer course which helps you write post threads and newsletters you're going to have all the of the
ideas that create your Niche right now but you need to write them out online so the first part is the book introduction or your story and pull out a piece of paper for all of this you're writing
this down your story is your brand it is important that you get clear on what your story is so you can use it to frame content from a unique angle you can start almost any writing with a personal
experience that alone makes it unique and not like the rest of shallow writing if you need an example of this just go back to the first part of this video where I talk about my experience with
finding a niche going over a hundred different niches and things like that that resonates with a lot of people okay so fill in the answers to these questions on the paper that you pulled out where did you start out what
struggles did you go through what was the climax of your journey what did you achieve that is desirable to others what topics interests or skills helped you get there remember that all of these are
content topics now section one of your book is going to be the philosophy because you need to get people on the same page as you your philosophy is your answer to the question how does one live
the good life if you're not writing this down yet you should just leave the video write this down you must constantly illustrate the importance of what you believe and do in a way that leads toward your ideal future or avoids the
enemy of your brand describe your ideal future and lifestyle in detail what goals are you leading your followers towards describe the enemy what is the future and lifestyle you want to avoid like the plague what are beliefs you
have that others would consider extreme or offensive what is the importance of each topic interest or skill you've learned to help you on the way toward your ideal lifestyle take your time with this the outline can be as long as you
want it to be the answers to these questions will form the majority of your content ideas that lead to the most of your growth and Authority this is the part that makes you unique now section
two is education this is how you build Authority it's by educating your audience and helping them your job is to educate people on the skills or interests that help them achieve your version of the good life or your
philosophy literally teach them the skills or interests and how you learned it there's only so much that can be said about this you aren't creating anything new you are simply creating a library of information under your brand that way
people can learn from you now don't fall into the Trap of they can just learn this information somewhere else online you have to assume they don't have the drive to learn elsewhere and that you have to give them the information also
realize the massive difference between organic content and intentional searches people on social media aren't actively looking for Education no they don't already know it no they can't just
search for it because they don't have a reason to show them that you are valuable enough to follow and they will solely learn from you now please don't ignore this any idea that you could see
and you want to put under your brand in in the form of content save it for later and then post it if it's already been said or taught by someone else good say it from your own point of view in
alignment with your own goals because goals shape how you perceive situations so if you have an idea okay think about your goals or the vision for the future and how that relates to it and boom you
have a unique piece of content the other thing is that if it's already been said or taught and is popular that means it's going to be useful for your followers too and as we'll discuss in the next
section people remember those who first taught them the knowledge that is useful to them be that person for more people as an example The Power of Now was recommended to Me by Matt ogus so I will
always remember that anytime I read the book The Power of Now I'm going to think of Matt ogus anytime people hear one person business if I was the first person to introduce it to them and make it make it and make it click for them
gez you're going to remember me right that's going to give me the authority in that case even if the other person is talking about the one person business now section three after your story your
philosophy education so how to actually get there section three is practice create step-by-step systems and practices that your readers can use to get better at your skills or interests
do this now write out step-by-step plans for your audience to learn the skills or interests under your brand then write content about them turn the best ones into products or Services as a bonus slap your own name on these if you want
to recreate something like the Eisenhower Matrix for productivity then then do it what I'm saying here is that take something like 1% better every day or the Eisenhower Matrix or something of
that nature and spin it and make it your own put a new name on it so if you see something like solar preneurship put a spin on it like the oneperson business if you see something like the 4-Hour
Work Week try turning it into the 4-Hour Work Day or 2-hour writer Behavior change is the driver of authority and recognition when you write your quote unquote book with time on social media
in emails and in free downloads you build a brand that blows past 99% of people so we understand what a niche is we understand that boring philosophy that I went over we understand how to
create your niche of one which is outlining the book and then writing the book in newsletters threads social media posts Etc over 6 to 12 months until
people genuinely understand your brand so now let's quickly talk about the psychology of interest it's how to talk about whatever you want and still get paid since I've been working to kind
of change the online business landscape and make it more accessible to the individual I get this question almost daily I want to talk about more of my interests but what if it gets low engagement or my audience doesn't like
it first we need to understand the difference between content and product people think that content is all about promotions they think they should only write content that leads to sales and leads for their product they think they
should Niche down everything they write about rather than having a specific and compelling landing page or free download for a product that establish is Authority in one go so you don't have to talk about it all the time in your
content they also don't realize that you can write one newsletter and then post that as a Blog article and then turn that into a YouTube video and then break that down into content ideas so you can
post those things and plug those things under it because then those are evergreen pieces of information I can write social media posts all day long but since they disappear it's it's just wise to continue writing it so that they
attract more people but along the way I can occasionally write about writing or business or whatever it is that I sell something related to and then I plug
either a newsletter or an article or a video or a free download or just my product landing page and if my product landing page actually educates people to the point of trusting me and knowing
that this is valuable for their life then I don't really need to write about that thing too much because it already lives on the internet and all I have to do is link to it now another thing is that I just see this way too often
sometimes the only thing people post is just like images of their product or just updates like you see this on software all the time it's like yeah some people follow the social media account for updates of the product but
you're not really attracting any new customers that way sometimes you are but it's like that's just such a boring way to run social media especially for a company if that's your life's work why
is it not better or they make a post with something valuable but then they can't help but just like throw a promotion in there I see this sometimes won't name drop but I see the guy he
finally makes a good post and it's like damn this is a good post and then you click on it and you go under it and it's like uh celebrate the best American Business there is on the planet and it
doesn't even relate to the post and then they plug their supplements and it's like dude you would have probably made more sales if you just didn't include that whatever it may work I actually
don't know that's just how I perceive it the problem here is that most of these Brands just don't show that they're a human they never educate entertain or inspire you know the things that people
actually follow and show up for on social media they only sell nobody follows Company accounts people follow Educators entertainers and inspirers Red Bull has a massive following because
they don't have a single picture of their product on their Instagram it's all inspirational content about the lifestyle people are living because of Red Bull if all you do is talk about your product that is a great way to
never grow your brand have engaged readers or see exponential growth in Revenue a personal brand is the most potent traffic source for your product service or brand in general so let's
start by flipping this on its head what happens if you only talk about the interest or skills that make you money first you get low engagement if your content doesn't get shared how are you going to grow so that you have more
people to promote to second is you don't build trust or authority stop thinking like you have to monetize right now and start thinking that you're going to monetize in 12 months and you'll monetize faster now by doing so third is
that people don't like you if you ever want to Pivot and sell something else you won't be able to you're trapped in whatever need nich you always sell to the thing with this is the question that I see coming up is like okay well if I write about my interest and I'm building
an audience and I'm growing then how do I promote first just separate the two things content product create a Content creation schedule so let's say three social media posts a day one newsletter
a week one thread a week maybe maximum and then content promotion schedule okay I'm going to promote twice inside of my newsletter I'm going to promote three times a week under one of my social
media posts and you just create a system and then you test it and then you try it out and then you change it you put it on your calendar and you actually do the thing if you aren't making sales okay increase
promotions if that still doesn't work okay make the promotions better if you're not growing on social media okay change your content schedule okay that's not working make the content better it's pretty freaking simple now the thing
with all of this is that people have multiple interests insane it's that's absolutely insane people have multiple interests it's crazy second thing is that people can adopt new interests oh
my God you can make your interests interesting so people become interested in them you do this by highlighting the benefits of achieving the goals of your brand and making people aware of how to solve their pain points with your skills
and interests this is what turns viewers into fans into super fans someone may follow you for one interest like how you would follow Dwayne The Rock Johnson after watching a movie he starred in now
they're a viewer then you either share another interest of theirs or get introduced to something new like how the Rock post about about Fitness and Nutrition now they're a fan then they discover the beliefs or values that
compose their mindset like how the rock values gratitude and hard work now they're super fan talking about more than one interest is how you become Irreplaceable the best personal brands
do this without trying and then usually they tell you to go into a niche because they don't realize that they are the niche they don't realize what they're doing they're like oh yeah I post about this thing maybe every other day but I
also talk about all these other things but no no no that's not even a part of my brand that's called unconscious competence the thing with this is is the best personal brands do this without knowing or the unconscious competence
because they just post whatever they deem important to them and attempt to illustrate the importance to you and they know the content does well because if it's valuable to them it's probably valuable to you or some people so here's
how you can begin doing this first focus on education adopt the mind of your past self an absolute beginner how would they get to where you are now in a better way post that second is focus on
understanding zoom out and identify the gaps in your followers knowledge what do they need to know to get on the same page as you post that third is focus on importance analyze your life and realize
why you do what you do why do you only have those select skills and beliefs rather than the millions of others you could have people think they're not niched down by talking about two to three interests when there's a lot more
interest out there you're very niched down by being the niche why did you take the path you did over another one post that that is it for this video thank you for watching if you want to learn high impact writing so you can grow on social
