Positioning Your Expertise: Narrowing Down Your Focus

To make your expertise more narrow and unique, you need to start by looking at your past work and identifying times when you made good money, moved the needle for clients, and enjoyed the work. From there, you should draw a circle around the areas that consistently align with these criteria. It's important to find competitors in your chosen niche, ideally between 10 and 200, as too few competitors may indicate limited opportunity, while too many may indicate market saturation. By boldly claiming your expertise within this focused area, you can position yourself as an expert and create a sub-brand to market your services more narrowly.
