How to Niche Down and Grow Your Business w/ Matt Lakajev | Ep 438
Matt Lakajev is back. His first appearance on The Futur was a hit, and this time he brings a complete framework for one of the most common creative business problems: niching down. Not the vague "pick a niche" advice that floats around online, but a step-by-step formula for identifying whether your offer is even viable, who your ideal client actually is, and how to signal to them so clearly that they see your content and think, "Wow, that's me." If you've been building on referrals and wondering why online marketing isn't working the same way, this one's for you.
