Hello,
There are infinite reasons to write.
Some of us write to build our personal brand, to share professional expertise, or to help others live better lives. Sometimes we just want to experiment with language (or video, or illustration)! Sometimes we want to investigate something we’re curious about, spur social change, or simply connect with like-minds.
We all come to the blank page with our own set of hopes and dreams, goals, and ambitions. As a first step toward defining your unique writing niche, it’s worth getting clear on what draws you to writing in the first place.
The road to audience domination starts with your curiosities.
If marketing is your game, Seth Godin is the ultimate thought leader. He's penned classics like "Purple Cow" and "Permission Marketing." Seth's writing challenges conventional marketing wisdom and encourages you to think outside the box. I’ve been reading his emails for over five years now.
Pat Flynn is the king of passive income. His blog, podcast, and courses teach you how to build online businesses that generate income while you sleep. Pat's friendly and approachable style makes you feel like he's your personal mentor in the world of online entrepreneurship.
Now, if you're into personal finance, Ramit Sethi is your go-to guy. He's the author of "I Will Teach You to Be Rich" and runs a blog and courses that break down complex financial concepts into practical advice. Ramit's content is like your financial best friend, guiding you toward smart money decisions.
In the world of health and wellness, I'd tip my hat to Dr. Rhonda Patrick. She's a biochemist who dives deep into the science behind nutrition, longevity, and health optimization. You'll get mind-blowing insights into how what you eat and how you live can impact your well-being.
If you're looking to improve your happiness and habits, Gretchen Rubin's work is a goldmine. She's known for books like "The Happiness Project" and her podcast "Happier." Her writing is like having a friendly coach guiding you toward a more fulfilling life.
When it comes to SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Brian Dean from Backlinko is the guru. His blog is a treasure trove of actionable SEO strategies. You'll learn how to make your content rank higher on Google, and his writing style makes complex SEO concepts surprisingly easy to grasp.
These niche online writers are like mentors and experts rolled into one. Their expertise and relatable writing styles make diving into their niches an enjoyable and educational experience.
So, again, in a few words: “What’s one thing you could talk about for 30 minutes, uninterrupted, without any preparation?”
