SPI 813: How Far Should You Niche Down? ...

Pat Flynn
About this episode

#813 You don't have to be an expert to start helping others. In fact, being just one step in front of your target audience is often enough to build a successful business. The key, however, is niching down enough to take advantage of your unique combination of skills! My guest, Kourt from The Station Bakery, is a perfect example of someone carving out her space online. She helps her audience of home bakers discover great new recipes while also building income streams around their passion. I always say the riches are in the niches, so listen in on my chat with Kourt to learn more! In this episode, we discuss starting a brand from scratch, staying on top of niche trends, making money from Instagram and YouTube, the golden rule of building an audience, and why going offline can grow your online business. Enjoy! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session813.
