👨👩👧👦 Step 5
Feeling Stuck When it Comes to Finding a Niche?
You are not alone. In fact, this one step kept me spinning my wheels for years. I wanted to start an online business so badly… I knew I had a message and a mission… but because I couldn’t figure out who I was talking to, I never really got started. And without a niche, you’ll constantly be spinning your wheels.
If that’s where you are right now, let me help you take the next step forward. How do you find your niche market? We’re going to keep it simple, because that’s what I needed when I was just starting out.
What is a Niche, Anyhow?
Think of it as your little corner of the internet. It’s a specific group of people who need something you understand… something you’ve been through, figured out, or have a passion for.
For me, the lightbulb moment was this:
👉 “My niche is the version of me a few steps ago.”
Try asking:
- What challenge did I grow through?
- What problem gets me fired up?
- Who do I naturally want to support?
That’s your starting place. My audience became women of faith over 40 who’ve battled health issues, want income from home, but feel overwhelmed by tech. Why? Because that was me.
I market to the person I used to be.
Why You Need to Know ‘WHO You Are Talking to’… Before You Post on Pinterest
If you’re using Pinterest for business (like we talked about in Step 3), then you need to know who you’re talking to. Every blog post, product, or pin should speak to them.
When you stop speaking to “everyone,” the ‘right someone’ finally hears you.
How Do YOU Find Your Niche Market?
How to find your niche shouldn’t be super complicated… This is how I found my people (and you can too)…
Like I said, I struggled for years trying to figure this part out. Everyone made it sound so complicated. I watched videos, took courses… (wasted lots of money), downloaded worksheets… and still felt lost. Until I did two things…
Here’s what finally made the difference:
- I simplified it.
I asked: What have I overcome that others are still wrestling with?
(How would I help the ‘old me’ from 5 years ago?)
Then, I did this: 👇 - I used ChatGPT.
Yep. I treated it like a biz bestie… bouncing ideas off it, asking for clarity, going around in circles… and never once feeling judged!
It helped me define my avatar (my ideal customer), and even gave her a name… Lisa. Now when I create anything, I picture her, and it’s SO much easier!
📝 Journal Prompts to Clarify Your Audience
If you’re still stuck, try these:
- What advice do I love giving?
- What YouTube videos or blogs do I always click?
- What do people constantly ask me about?
- What experience changed me? (that could help someone else)
- What could I talk about for hours?
- What content feels fun or meaningful to share?
- What have I researched endlessly?
- What’s something I’ve learned the hard way?
- What kind of products do I love to recommend?
- Who do I naturally connect with?

Final Thoughts
Finding your niche isn’t about boxing yourself in.
It’s about showing up clearly for the person who needs you right now. You can always grow and evolve, but having direction today means momentum tomorrow.
Still unsure? Don’t hesitate to talk it out… with a mentor, a friend… or even ChatGPT (seriously… it helped me so much).
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just take the next step.
But the sooner you find your niche, the sooner you’ll start building something real.
You’ve got this.
