Everybody says you have to have a niche. But how do you create a unique and profitable niche that suits you?
In this month’s Interview with an Expert, we’ll be interviewing successful performer Nancy Moran. We are talking with Nancy about niche marketing – one of her favorite topics.
We’ll examine some real-life case studies of musicians you’ve probably never heard of who are making a whopping full-time living doing music and nothing else! And we’ll discuss a zillion different ways to brainstorm, create, and discover new ideas that can help you develop your own niche.
