For example: do your clients ask the same questions over and over again? Have you seen a theme with social posts? Why a YouTube channel? What’s your intention and purpose, why should viewers watch your videos, and why should they subscribe to your channel? Why you? Do you have something to share that is different or do you teach or communicate in a way that is better than others?
2. Identify Your Niche
