    I know healthcare, finance, and tech are among some of the most profitable niches; however, I find them boring. I enjoy writing for fashion, beauty, plus food and beverage.

    I just decided to take a step further and become a writer. I have experience in writing ranking blog posts and I've been a transcriptionist these past 2 years but I want to start making a career. Finding a niche has been easier than expected, as soon as I started writing down interests and studies...it hit me. I'm ha hairstylist! I got my diploma, well now 10 years ago, but I'm still into it so... I believe I could write down L'Oréal as a client :)

    So I have a lot of experience in outdoor recreation (skiing, hiking, camping, rock climbing, etc) and I'm trying to decide if I should focus on one or all of those things. Would it be too much to write about all of those topics and promote myself as sort of a general outdoor writer? Or would it be better to focus on one specific niche within the niche of outdoor recreation/sports?

    • @colleenwelsch_

      Start as a general outdoor writer, and see what you drift into! I started as a beauty writer, but I've ended up focusing mostly on hair loss and skincare.

I have another video on niches and you can look around my blog too to help yourself out. I would also suggest just writing out your own interests. you're 20? are you in college? if so I think maybe even your major could help as a starting point to determine your niche. I hope this helps!
