Freelancing niche is the most important component in starting your freelancing career, it is because when you do not identify your specific freelancing niche, you will be not sure what to offer to your clients, and eventually, nobody wants to hire you.
To newbies who don’t know where to start, here are suggested freelancing niches that you can start with.
NICHES YOU CAN START WITH
Skills you have prior experience
Talking about the skills with prior experience, it is all about the skills that you already have during your office work. This can be admin skills, real estate broker skills, accounting or bookkeeping, or any other skills that you already practice in a corporate setting. You can use this particular skill as your main service when you start working in a freelancing setup and develop it later on.
Skills that you know how to render it to clients
Start with the skill that you know, the skills that you can provide to clients even if you haven’t experience in a corporate set-up. These skills are something you know how to do when you are studying, or the skills you self-learned on the internet. Samples of the skills are data entry, online research, PowerPoint presentations, and any other related skills.
Skills that you are learning in your training
This is about the skills that you learn out of the training that you are taking. Whether it’s Social Media Management, SEO, Email Marketing, and any other skills that you can learn through online courses or any freelancing training.
With these three different skills, you can start your freelancing career and later on re-brand. When you already identify the specific freelancing niche that you love to do and you feel at ease when delivering it to your clients, you will focus more on that niche. When you are already adjusted in the freelancing world, from there, you can identify your focus niche and grow as a freelancer.
