In today's post,⁣
⁣
Let's talk about a question a few of my subscribers have asked me lately…⁣
⁣
⁣
And that question is:⁣
⁣
"𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲?"⁣
⁣
If this is a question you equally have,⁣
⁣
Or have asked sometime in the past,⁣
⁣
Sit tight and pay attention:⁣
⁣
So,⁣
⁣
When it comes to picking a niche to write in,⁣
⁣
I have some "regular" and "unorthodox" answers to this question.⁣
⁣
I'll start with the regular:⁣
⁣
⁣
𝗚𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: what topics are you generally curious about?⁣
⁣
If you had the chance what would you research more on?⁣
⁣
The answer to this may be a good niche to start testing your skill with.⁣
⁣
For example, if you're curious about business opportunities,⁣
⁣
May be a good idea to write in the business opportunity niche.⁣
⁣
⁣
𝗚𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲: what's your field?⁣
⁣
Are you knowledgeable about finances?⁣
⁣
Or real estate?⁣
⁣
Or health?⁣
⁣
What did you study in school?⁣
⁣
What topic can you talk about extensively?⁣
⁣
Even with your eyes closed?⁣
⁣
Whatever topic that is,⁣
⁣
You can easily find a niche that blends with it and write in that niche.⁣
⁣
For example if you got a degree in a health related course,⁣
⁣
Or you are very knowledgeable about health matters,⁣
⁣
You can comfortably write in the health niche.⁣
⁣
⁣
Next, the unorthodox:⁣
⁣
⁣
𝗚𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀: as "funny" as this sounds, it's what a good number of Copywriters do.⁣
⁣
Afterall, isn't that why you're practising the skill in the first place?⁣
⁣
How this works is:⁣
⁣
Do a detailed study of the niche with the most money…⁣
⁣
What niche pays their Copywriters the highest?⁣
⁣
What niche sells like crazy?⁣
⁣
What niche has the highest influx of money?⁣
⁣
Find out.⁣
⁣
And go with your discovery.⁣
⁣
⁣
For example:⁣
⁣
If you realize that the financial niche has a huge influx of money,⁣
⁣
They sell like crazy all year long…⁣
⁣
And pay their Copywriters very well too,⁣
⁣
You can decide to go with the finance niche as a Financial Copywriter.⁣
⁣
⁣
𝗚𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗲: Ease is underrated in this thing of ours.⁣
⁣
If you feel a certain niche is easier for you to…⁣
⁣
Research for, write in, get clients in, etc⁣
⁣
Then, you should go with it.⁣
⁣
It doesn't have to feel difficult⁣
⁣
In fact, the easier it feels, the happier you'll be.⁣
⁣
And finally, my BEST answer:⁣
⁣
EXPLORE!⁣
⁣
Yes, that's right.⁣
⁣
Before you decide to stick with one niche,⁣
⁣
Explore your options.⁣
⁣
Write for the financials, for health, business opportunity, information marketing, self development, real estate, crypto, NFTs, SaaS, Oil & gas…⁣
⁣
⁣
𝙹𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚎!⁣
⁣
Experience what it feels like to write for different niches at different points in your Copywriting career.⁣
⁣
The rush, the excitement, the anticipation, the challenge…⁣
⁣
And above all,⁣
⁣
The fact that you can use this one skill to generate results in any industry (I love this feeling)⁣
⁣
Then, decide if there's a niche you'd love to settle with…⁣
⁣
Or if you wanna keep exploring (no crime in that).⁣
⁣
⁣
So, that's it!⁣
⁣
If you were wondering how to pick a Copywriting niche,⁣
⁣
I hope this post has helped you find answers.⁣
⁣
Stay unstoppable.
