Niche Down? Or Become The Niche?

Which do you choose?

Most creators and biz owners hear 2 pieces of advice:

  1. "You are the niche."

  2. "You need to niche down."

So, which one do you pick?

Both.

Lemme explain...

"You are the niche" is terrible advice for most people.

People don't give a f*ck about you at the start.

(Except me, I luv u bb).

People care about how you can help them.

You need to "give" before people give a shit about you.

For example, at the start:

  • Gary V niched with wine.

  • Alex Hormozi niched with gyms.

  • Dan Koe niched with web design.

So, you need to find a painful problem you enjoy solving for other people.

Create content around that.

But here's what keeps people stuck...

They stick with that one niche forever.

Which means:

  • Being compared with competitors

  • Being copied by competitors

But consider these "overnight successes":

  • Ramit Sethi wasn't just "the money guy" - he combined personal finance + psychology + systems thinking.

  • Naval Ravikant wasn’t just the “investor” - he combined philosophy + business + logic.

  • James Clear wasn't just writing about habits - he combined behavioral science + storytelling + practical implementation.

They take what I call the "Full Stack" approach.

Where you specialize in 1 skill, then stack on a complementary skill.

For example:

  • Automations + Funnels

  • Web design + Copywriting

  • Fitness coaching + Systems

  • Video editing + Script writing

  • Social media ghostwriting + Email marketing

Now, you've "become the niche" because people can't compare you to others.

Which means:

  • You can charge premium rates.

  • Deliver more value to clients.

  • Attract more leads.

And eventually, down the line you can productize your knowledge for infinite leverage.

In short:

  1. Specialize.

  2. Generalize.

  3. Productize.
