Do you have a niche or specialism as a freelancer?
Choosing a niche can be a powerful way to use your expertise to stand out, attract clients and charge more – but what if you want to change your mind?
People have big opinions on this topic, but the truth is you can run a perfectly successful business whether you decide to niche or not.
And crucially, that decision isn't irreversible.
In this episode, I'm joined by website consultant Tom Garfield to hear about his experience of choosing (and changing) his business niche.

We talk about:
  • Different ways to specialise and make yourself stand out
  • Transitioning from one specialism to another
  • Is it better to niche by service or industry?
  • Pros and cons of niching
  • How to figure out your "natural niche"
  • Why "affinity positioning" might be an effective new approach to niching
