How to find your niche

4:02Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Montemagno questions the search for a niche as a simple overlap between personal passions and market demand. He observes that an interest such as table tennis does not automatically become a profession, while pursuing a popular topic may be difficult to sustain if it holds no genuine interest. He proposes another perspective: treating one’s history, experiences and way of interpreting subjects as the distinctive feature of one’s content. Using his own background and a deliberately surreal example, he suggests that different people can address the same topics from recognisable angles. His claim about having no competitors refers to personal uniqueness, rather than an economic demonstration. The conclusion encourages sharing a perspective while recognising its individual nature, reducing the pressure to fit a rigid category.

Key points

  • Personal passion and market demand alone do not guarantee a sustainable niche.
  • The proposal is to use one’s history, experiences and perspective as a distinctive element.
  • Common subjects can be approached from a recognisable angle shaped by personal experience.
  • Personal uniqueness is presented as an editorial perspective, rather than proof of having no competition.
