  • ★★ A niche, Ali says, combines what you enjoy talking about and what people want to hear from you, and you tend to discover it by taking action rather than land on it on day one. — 00:00:00

  • ★★★ If you already have a business you drive traffic to, Ali says, your niche is fairly easy: make content that solves the problems your ideal customers and buyers already have; starting as a pure creator with no product or service is harder because of the uncertainty. — 00:00:58
