85. How To Know If Your Niche Is Too Narrow Or Not Profitable Cycle Breakers & Money Makers podcast

Choosing or refining your niche isn’t just a task for new business owners. Even 5+ years in, your niche may be the reason your visibility, revenue, or lead quality has plateaued.

Especially with interest-based content becoming the norm on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, your niche must be clear, compelling, and immediately relevant — even to people who’ve never heard of you.

In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to define a niche that is both aligned and profitable — and how to avoid the most common mistakes that keep established entrepreneurs stuck in outdated or overly narrow positioning.

🎯 What you’ll learn:

What actually makes a niche profitable
How to define the problem in the buyer’s language (not your own)
The most BASIC way to define a niche vs the most profitable
Why you may need to redefine your niche even after years in business
What makes a niche too narrow and how to adjust without starting over
Why your niche must reflect current market behavior, not just what worked in 2020
