I’ve got a little confession to make. Initially, I was one of those who believed that as a personal brand, I should talk about multiple interests on social media. Yep, I was doing just that. However, lately, I’ve come to understand why many coaches, mentors, and experts teach that it’s best to “niche down.”

Discovering My Crochet Niche: A Personal Journey
Since starting my crochet journey late last year, my head has been in somewhat of a whirlwind trying to figure out whether I should craft whatever comes to mind or specialize. I even wrote a post on Facebook asking my wonderful followers for their help in this regard. Here’s the post I made:
“Hey, Facebook Family! Quick question for you. As you may have noticed, I’m turning my love for crocheting into a business. So, I’m curious: when it comes to handmade creations, what’s your preference – home decor or stylish clothes? 🧶✨ Would love to hear your thoughts!”
Of course, there were mixed responses, but most of them said both. Many said swimwear. You can check out the responses here: Facebook Post.
However, I have a passion for making doilies and table runners. There is just something about those pretty home decor items that have my heart.
Therefore, I have decided to narrow things down to crafting swimwear, doilies, table runners, cushion covers, and a few other home decor crafts.
Now, I’d love to hear from you:
1. Do you specialize in your craft, and if so, how did you come up with the decision?
2. Are you still struggling with making the decision? If so, here are two tips to help you with the decision-making process:
Tip 1: Reflect on Your Passion and What Truly Excites You
When it comes to deciding whether to specialize in your craft or keep your options open, it’s essential to take a moment to reflect on your passion and what truly excites you. What do you find yourself gravitating towards naturally?
Think about the projects that bring you the most joy and fulfillment. Is there a particular type of craft that you feel most connected to? Do you have a passion for creating home decor items, like doilies and table runners, or are you more drawn to making stylish clothes, swimwear, or others?
By reflecting on your passion and what truly excites you, you can gain clarity on the direction you want to take with your craft. This can help you make a more informed decision about whether to specialize or keep your options open.
Remember, your passion is what drives you to create, and it’s essential to honor that passion in your craft. So take some time to reflect on what truly excites you, and let that guide your decision-making process.
Tip 2: Consider Your Niche Audience
Another important factor to consider when deciding whether to specialize in your craft or keep your options open is your audience. What are they most interested in? What are they asking for or responding to the most?
Take a look at the feedback you’ve received from your audience. Are there certain types of projects that they seem to be more interested in? Are there specific requests or suggestions that they’ve made?
By considering your audience’s preferences and interests, you can gain valuable insights into the types of projects that are most likely to resonate with them. This can help you make a more informed decision about whether to specialize or keep your options open.
Remember, your audience is an essential part of your craft, and it’s essential to consider their preferences and interests when making decisions about your craft. So take some time to consider your audience, and let their feedback guide your decision-making process.
