Take a look at this DM I got..
go through it if you're a newbie with same problem..
when you're done reading..
here's what I want you to do..
instead of asking, "What niche should I focus on?"
Ask yourself better questions like:
- What type of businesses do I already understand a little?
- What business owners do I have access to?
- What repetitive problems do I notice people complaining about?
- Which businesses are already making money and can afford automation?
- Can I clearly explain how my automation will save them time, reduce errors, or increase sales?
- Do I enjoy working with this type of business?
- Can I build 2–3 useful automation examples for this industry?
Your niche will become clearer after you start building and talking to business owners..
For now, don’t overthink it..
Pick problems before picking niches..
Here's some Assignment to do if you care to..
= Assignment 1: Pick 3 industries
Choose any 3 industries around you. For example:
- Ecommerce vendors
- Real estate agents
- Coaches/consultants
- Logistics businesses
- Clinics
- Schools
- Small agencies
= Assignment 2:
List 10 repetitive tasks for each industry
Ask yourself:
“What does this business do every day that is repetitive, manual, stressful, or easy to forget?”
= Assignment 3:
Build 1 simple automation for each industry
Don’t build something too complex. Start with simple workflows like:
- WhatsApp lead capture to Google Sheet
- New form submission to Gmail/Telegram notification
- Appointment reminder system
- Order tracking sheet automation
= Assignment 4:
Turn each automation into a mini case study
Even if it’s a demo project, document it like this:
- The business problem
- The manual process
- The automation you built
- The tools used
- The result or expected result
= Assignment 5:
Talk to 10 business owners
Don’t pitch immediately. Ask questions first.
Ask them:
- What part of your work takes too much time?
- Where do you lose customers?
- What do you currently do manually?
- What would you love to automate if possible?
- How do you currently handle leads, orders, follow-ups, and customer support?
Their answers will show you where the money is..
The truth is, your niche is not something you always choose from your head.
Sometimes, your niche reveals itself through the problems you solve, the people who respond to you, and the industry that starts paying you.
So my advice is start broad, build proof, talk to people, study their problems, then narrow down later..
Don’t focus on becoming “the automation guy for one niche” too early..
First become the person who can identify business problems and build useful systems..
That skill will help you in any niche..
