- "The riches are in the niches" isn't entirely true! You don't need to niche like. youthink you need to.
Let's talk about why you don't have to niche down like you think you do. Niching is a complicated thing but it doesn't have to be.

Jessica's on point about not boxing oneself in too much. It's like when I use boost app social for IG - instead of sticking to just one content style, I mix up my posts and stories. Keeps things fresh!
boost app has been a game changer for me too. Those AI writing tools are legit! 👌🔥
I'm someone who has many interests too. What helped me was realizing that I don't have to monetize everything. Every hobby, passion, or idea doesn't have to be a side hustle or a business. I totally agree that when you niche too much, it can get repetitive. Getting clear on the who you want to serve was a really helpful tip. Thanks much 💕 "I'm so excited" 😉
Love how to simplified the idea of "niching down." I've been confused about this idea of niche for years, and tried to focus on teaching a certain skill because that's what I thought it is before. Now, I'm focused on the "who"
Yea my instagram followers started to unfollow me as soon as I start being my self and share a more creative style content. It’s so wild 😂
My biggest struggle right now is that I'm a digital artist/llustrator and I know that I'm good at it and that it's what I want to do for a living, but I don't know what "problem" that should solve, not to mention which people would be having that problem and what they would need from me. I feel so stupid when I watch videos like this, because this video is really great and informative but I'm on absolute-level-one-where-do-I-even-start mode as far as starting my own business and (eventually) having multiple streams of income. I feel like I should have already figured that part out but it just won't "click" for me.
Have you ever thought about starting a comic or web-series?
I am so excited to not feel I have to choose between parents of toddlers and teachers of toddlers, my people will be "people who spend time nurturing toddlers"! I am also just excited about the concept of choosing pillars. Thanks Jessica!
Hearing "rules are meant to be broken" for some reason made me think of the Pirates movies and Captain Barbosa saying rules are more like guidelines.
That’s exactly what I needed to hear because I hate being put in a box. Great video❤
I think this message was meant for me today. I can see clearly now the rain is gone…👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😊. Thank you for this great video!
Yay!!!
Same!! Me too!
Hey Jessica... thanks! I agree... there's a lot of criss crossing, and it makes perfect sense.
For some of us who share ALL of our skills, there can very well be solid skills and lesson videos that apply to more than one group, and fall into more than one content pillar.
Moreover, several content pillars might apply to one niche audience, and those same content pillars might also apply to other niche audiences, who share that topic.
... I think eventually I'll share all my experiences as free knowledge for everyone on my main channel (this channel), from the personal development and music industry and social media sides, and then if there are very specific instructional videos on a certain topic, then share those on other specific channels.
Thanks Jessica!
I love your way of explaining this topic. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
The "who" and the "why" is important. The "what" ie. the niche will follow. Thanks Jessica. This gave me clarity. And I'm getting a little bit excited ;)
Thank you for this video. I was always confused about niching down.
So, I’m totally going against the “UA-cam norm” and I’m just making content of what I like and sharing my experiences. It’s in my channel’s name; AllThingsUnrelated and my slogan is “Be Different.” I’m going with my gut and everything will work out. Thanks for your videos and advice, I know it’s a lot of work. 😊
Took some time to sink in but then it hit and my brain removed itself from the box. The world just opened up. Wow Thank you ❤
I am so excited! I have to admit that usually I don’t like to follow people that speak too fast. Is just that usually they overwhelmed me. Is nothing about them is just me period. But with you Jesica is different you are so entertaining and fun to watch and listen to. And beside that your content is valuable. Thank you!
Yay I’m so glad!
Hi Jessica, thank you so much for sharing this topic. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
This is the most helpful talk I ever needed to listen to to get started! Thank you so much for clearing this up for us! I was always confused but not anymore!!!!! Thankssssssssss❤
Finally! I AM so excited! I've found an explanation that makes sense to me! I've been struggling with this for years and it's really been holding me back. This is an incredible way to "work past" whatever blockage I've been feeling. I didn't know how to even "just start". I've been followiing you for a few years now and find you very entertaining while providing the information I've been looking for! And thank YOU for getting the niches pronunciation right! I've always thought that "riches are in the neeshes" don't work that way!
Yay I’m so glad!!!
This is probably one of your best and most informative videos. It's a great view of "'nicheing down"
Great video. Thanks for zeroing in on the core issues. And loved the word graphic overlays with the editing.
I'm in the process of doing this now. Knowing the Who and What better. Even though I'll be changing up things, what I've learned from taking action is that doing something, though not perfect, helps me see what I need to know. Thanks Jessica.
This just made me sigh in relief 😅
I felt like I was in a box I couldn’t get out of even though I already do 2 really big services for my clients! Thank you for this advice & for all your other content as well. It’s helping take away the anxiety of creating content for my own business & make it fun again 🎉yes I’m excited 😂!!🎉
This isn't the first time I've heard the idea of niching to your ideal audience and not a topic. When I first heard this advice, it was a very freeing, Aha moment! Thank you for reiterating that! It has made content creation so much easier. Now if I can just find the extra two or three hours in my day to film and edit videos!
Omgoodness!!! This❤
I watched the video the other day on nicheing down and I was sad because I thought you meant one product...one conversation...etc 😔 BUT I understand now and I am so excited and REALLY appreciate this❤❤❤ This is a game changer for me and our business 🥳
So very excited! Thank you Jessica.
Incredibly well explained! Thank you!
I'm so excited, found my niche it took a few weeks. But I got this now! Woohoo 🙌
Your video made this strategy clear to me so thank you so much. I have been struggling with my niche because I didn’t have a “who” and “what” in mind. Your explanation was very helpful!
"I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it." Sorry, it got stuck in my head. LOL. Honestly loved hearing this today and really enjoyed the breakdown of the pillars.
OH..MY...GOSH YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND!!!!!! I AM YOU YOU ARE ME!!!!! I just watched this all the way through..frantically searched for a note book..wrote down my crazy ass scrambled brain dump of ideas into said book..ALL 20 projects I'm currently working on.😳 ..and did what you said....🤯 THANK YOU THANK YOU 🥰❤ NOW!!!!! I have a plan to....um...I don't know...maybe EARN SOME FREEKIN MONEY!!!!!!!! ⚘👍🙏
Thank you. I had never heard niching explained that way
Thoroughly enjoying your content. I niched down too far with my domain name, so my plan is to develop the site, pick the affiliate offers, run some ads, and sell the whole thing in 1yr.
Girl, you are so inspiring and every video you drop lately has been SPOT ON in helping me along the way! So much love for you and I’M SO EXCITED👏🏻👏🏻🤍
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it! I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!
I am so excited. Thanks for the distinction between a subject and a person. :D
I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it. Thank you!
I was thinking about this exact topic this morning, then logged into youtube to find something to watch while I eat lunch and this video was the first to pop up. I really needed to hear this right now, thank you!
Great video! I am definitely multipassionate so yes this message is great!
I needed this video so much! I have a pretty successful freelance writing business but I keep hearing NICHE DOWN.. and I’m afraid to miss out on jobs bc I boxed myself into one tiny niche. But your analogy of half dug holes makes so much sense! I guess it’s time I DIG IN and take a leap of faith. I want to double my monthly income and I know that means raising my rates with some of my older clients who helped me get where I am. So it scares the &?$&@ out of me!
I’m so excited. Ms. multi-passionate here! 😀 I’m sticking to the “who” like you mentioned. So much easier and fun that way too.
I am so excited!!!! I was starting to feel boxed in, but now you have given me some great ideas for more content on my channel! Thank You!
I really AM so excited! I know your point was meant for a different type of content creator... but! Absolute point taken. I have struggled so much with this concept. For example...I don't watch your channel because I expect to EVER have a you tube channel... however, I create books on KDP, so for me each PROJECT or book IS sort of a different youtube channel. This relates so well for me. Thank you!
This is fantastic. I NEEDED to hear the smart way to throw spaghetti at the wall. 🤣🙌❤
Thanks for this video! I have been stuck not creating any content, but now I have a clear understanding of my who, still working on the what. But I am so excited! Lol
I'm so excited I watched your video. Thanks, Jessica!!!
SO helpful! Thank you - the distinction between niching down by topic vs. knowing your audience helps a lot. I'm so excited! 💜
This cleared it up so much for me thank you!
Your last video really helped me - just the simple act of having my ideas safely held on pages in a book outside my brain, is so relaxing and comforting - the ideas arent lost, or taking up bandwidth in my head :) this video is also useful and has instantly sparked an idea to double down on my current niche
I am so excited! I am ecstatic that I found your channel. I’ve been trying to grow my goods business for two years now and feel like I’m hitting a wall. With your tips I’m working on rebranding and a new strategy that involves some content creation. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Very helpful video! I used to have another channel where I niched down too much and I got bored with it and stopped making videos. So that didn't work. I think I'm clear on the who I'm making videos for and the what , but I still have to figure out what content pillars to focus on. But I'm still kinda starting out so....hopefully I'll figure it out.
Just started following you! I’ve been in a headspace of “what do I wanna do Bc I loving doing many things!?” I’m still confused but you’re starting to make sense to me… I think haha thank you! I just wanna use my gifts 😫
I am so excited - I think this is all starting to come together for me!
I am so excited! This video really helped everything click for me and figure out how to combine all my ideas together, eventually anyway. I know I can't start everything at once but I have a much clearer vision of what I want to do and who my audience will be.
Hey Jessica. (Pun totally not intended!) This is exactly what my thought process has evolved into for my "actually doing UA-cam for reals" plans, so thanks for the confirmation. I'm a Christian life coach, but don't plan to talk about "Christian stuff" in every video. I'm all about total lifestyle, which gives me a lot of creative freedom for content, but I know who my "who" is and can target my wide range of content to that person. Also, I 100% support your way of saying niche, as I say it the same because it's totally the "right" way to say it. Right?! Lastly, I've been following you for at least a few years now and totally appreciate what you do and what I've learned from you. Good job! Atta girl! Go Jessica! 💃
Thank you so much for this video !
I’m so excited:) So good and helpful
Those niches video's help a lot ty
I AM so excited! Struggling to ‘niche’ down for sure and this answers my questions - Thank you!!
Just watched your interview with Hannah Gardner, very inspiring!
I am so excited! This is something that is my number one struggle. I have more than one topic that I want to talk about. They are similar but don't crossover 100%. But I think looking at this from a different viewpoint, the who and the why or what takes away that issue for me. Maybe. Need to overthink this some more.... Ha. Thank you! Love your videos!
This video is jam-packed with value! Thanks, Jessica! 🙌
I am so excited! I NEED to get out of being frustrated with instagram now that I am a senior in college studying Graphic Design (Bachelor's)
Extremely helpful!! This is the clarity I needed help with.
I am so excited! I am ready to grow and I am really happy that you are helping me with it!
I'm so glad!!
Just found you, loving the content, thanks for sharing 🥰
Finding a need and filling it!🤩
Thank you for sharing this video 🙏🏽😍
I am so excited. My who are people who live in apartments and those who want to grow vegetables and fruits all year long
I am so excited! I’m in the planning stages of starting a blog and creating content. I love your videos and tips. Thank you for having this channel and giving so much relevant advice.
I'm so excited!!! Love your videos
I’m so excited ❤❤❤ great tips!!! Thanks
I’m so excited! This video gave a lot of clarity
I am so exited 🙌 this is great! We want to help but there are so many things to ourselves too!
I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it! Loved this video, it’s so extremely helpful. Thank you! Niches Bi!@$3s! 😝
This is how I've been operating lately but you put it into words for me😅🙌🏽
Can't wait to share this with my group!
I’m really excited! But also confused. 🤯 I have no idea how to apply this concept to me or my interests for UA-cam and online classes. Gave me more to think about! 🤣😅😁
I am really happy you've made video's explaining about niches, for the longest time I knew that having a niche was important but couldn't get anywhere because I couldn't figure that part out. This video and your previous one feels very helpful to get me started on the right path of how to tackle this, thanks!
Yay I’m so glad!!!!
Like the way you addressed this ✨
Thank you for this clarification! I loved the other video, but this is the same questions I had :)
"I AM SO EXCITED" [That being said, I wish school had been set up like this.]
Thank you for this. This really helped clear up my path moving forward.
The best video everrrrr on niching down
I am so excited! 😊 So, I'm wanting to reach homeschool parents (specifically the unschooling/deschooling type). My main focus has always been the importance of writing, including the need to incorporate organic, powerful writing opportunities into a homeschool family's existing curriculum and content. My pillars could be: harassing the power of writing/embedding into curriculum, parent/child enjoyment of homeschooling, organization/scheduling homeschool days, and behind the scenes. Is that focused enough on the same audience (homeschool parents) with the same problem (lack of real opportunities to write and learn through writing and too much stress trying to do homeschooing "right")?
I am sooo excited!!
Thanks so much! I’ve been confused about my niche for awhile, after this video this is what came for me.
Who: People who are realizing they are on a spiritual journey and their intuition is kicking into gear.
What: how to use their intuition to their benefit, and what to do about the sudden sensitivity that comes along with awakening intuition.
Love to know if this makes sense and resonates with anyone
I’m not a pastor but since “others” is the focus of our spiritual development, if you simply add the word others after benefit, I think you’ve then got it. That’s all it took for it to resonate with me. I love what you’re doing. But listen to your own voice. This assignment was given to YOU! If that’s not what you’re after, and no response from others yet, stay with it til you get what you’re after. It’s work that is probably more important than everything else that we all think is so important. Lol. Excited for you!!
Took notes. Great video!
Very helpful thank you!
Thank you.
I’m excited that you are spreading this msg. I figured this out to help my multi passionate self in 2020. I made a video (UA-cam growth theory) but I ain’t reach like that. 😅
I’m SO excited 🙌
Thank you. I am at a point in my content, where if I don't change up things, I will continue to sink out of sight. I've made the announcement several times, closing my subs, as to a change is coming. I will be throwing out a different, but relative tutorial. Relative, as in hand crafted items. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as to the receptiveness.
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed. I have been struggling with this for awhile now and this destresses my over thinking brain. And thank you for saying "niche" the right way, the other way, I just can't!!!😁
👏👏👏👏👏
I am so excited
This is so helpful
I Am so EXCITED!
This is really informative. Thanks for sharing it :D
I am so excited! 😆
Great video ….. super informative
This was very helpful!!!
I really have a hard time with niche like who has this problem? So thank you so much for this video! It really helped
