The Mindset You Need to Find Your Freelance Writing Niches
Ever tried to figure out what niches make sense as you begin your freelance writing career? Sometimes it's a bit of trial and error, but there are a few key steps along with experimentation that help you figure out where to take your freelance writing business. It's about asking the right questions, digging into your past, and taking calculated steps forward. Let's dig in!
________
So, if you've ever been in a place where you're trying to figure out your freelance writing niches, you're trying to figure out how you want to structure your business. It actually comes down to a mindset. A lot of people think that my, that you just kind of pick your niches and you go about your business morning, Vicky morning. Linda. Welcome. Welcome. Good morning. Yeah. I try to read everybody's mind Linda. Yes, that's my secret power. So sometimes we have to get in the right mindset to figure out what niches work really well for us. So it's not just asking the right questions. It's not just about figuring out your experience. It's like getting a little exploratory. So when we're thinking about our freelance writing niches, it's about experimenting and it's about exploring our past history and our knowledge and what things we are really excited about.
Okay. I think the volume is okay. I mean, it's still up from last time. Let me know if you guys can hear it, if it's okay. On volume. So let me know. But, um, when you're doing your niches, like I know that a lot of people have asked me, like, how did you figure out your writing niches? How did you kind of, you know, get into this place where you have all these niches very well defined. And the secret is, is like, I experimented with a bunch of different things. I started with certain niches. I started with food and travel. Sometimes restaurants, sometimes hotels. Like I kind of started in there and then I grew my niches. So I added real estate and prop tech and insurance and health to that. So I added as I went along, but I had this mindset of like, huh, let me try this.
Or let me see what this is. And I found the different topics that I was really passionate about things that I was really right. Passion. I was really excited about these different niches. And it was just because I was kind of starting from things I liked starting from things I knew a lot about. And my, my work experience things I really knew from my past and things I'd done in my life. But then I kind of went with, like, I had an editor, asked me to do this type of assignment. And I was like, Oh, you know, let me just try it out. Then I had, you know, I kind of started doing more, excuse me. I kind of started doing more things where I was like, huh. Insurance is really fascinating, like how it works. And I had my own very long insurance thing with health insurance and car insurance and all these different types of insurance or business insurance.
I know we haven't talked about that quite as much on here yet, but business insurance was a long, a long road for me, but all of these different insurances, I found that it was a really fascinating industry to write about. And there's all these different InsureTech companies that are coming up to basically give some modernization to that niche. And I found that really interesting. And I wouldn't have really come across that if I didn't have a mindset of like, huh, let's try this out or let's experiment, or let's think about something a little bit outside of the box, rather than saying, like, I know finance makes money. I should write about finance, or I know this thing, you know, this giant healthcare niche makes money. Like, I don't really write about healthcare that often I usually read about different types of insurance, um, like life insurance or other types of restaurant, you know, worker's comp and stuff. But, um, yeah, like I feel like there's a lot of things where we pick our niches. Okay. So let me see if I can turn up my volume a little bit. So hold on.
All right. Did that help, did that give it, let me know in the chat, if that's like, if that helps. So biggie says she had to turn up her headphones. Okay. So let's see if that helps. So let me know if that helps. I raised the volume. Okay. Let's see if that works. So yeah. Your niches are going to be like this mindset that you want to get into when picking your freelance writing niches is like, where is my work history? My experience, my knowledge base. That's kind of where you start. And then it's kind of like, where is their money in topics I'm also interested in. Okay, cool. So I'll just turn it up a little bit. There we go.
Yeah. So we're good. Okay. So I was like, we're good now. Awesome. Okay. So back to the topic, there's a few key steps that we want to talk about when we're moving into our niches and thinking about them. So we want to ask ourselves our questions, which are like, where's my experience. Like what's my work history, what have I done in the past? What's my knowledge base? Like what are the things that I have, um, you know, done over my lifetime that I'm really interested in that have a place where there could be thousands of companies. And then also, like, what are the types of things that you can think of like different types of businesses that you could look at or consider that make money. There's a lot of companies and you also like could build some experience, knowledge fascination about, so I think sometimes what happens is we end up trying to get in this mindset of like what makes money.
I should write in that. And that's not the right mindset and mindset that you should be in is like pairing what you already have and what you've already done. And then adding in some experimentation, some little scientific magic in there where you do some trial and error. So we're looking at calculated steps. Basically, we're looking at calculated steps of like, how do I leverage what I already have? And then how do I add to that with things that I already see that are growing? So that basically means like over time I talked to different editors, I had different jobs and they asked me to do different random assignments. This happens all the time and that pushed me into different niches. So it was only the fact that I was kind of curious about that, that mindset piece needs to be curiosity, interest. And I know a lot of writers who have fallen into those niches in different ways.
Like I never thought I'd be writing about SAS, but SAS fits really nicely into my other niches. And SAS is so big, right. Software as a service, SAS, SAS. And we often think like, Oh, I'm, I'm not very good at writing about tech or I'm not very good at writing about this. Sorry, I'm having like a lot of allergies. Okay. So what like, Oh, well I can't write about this because I'm not very good at the tech part, but we often forget that the end user is usually us. It's usually a consumer. It's usually someone like, Hey, if you learn a tech and you can break it down into easy to understand language, that's great. You can write about SAS. And SAS is one of those niches that span so many different types of companies. So if you say you're a SAS writer, man, you could write for hospitality tech, or you could write for prop tech, or you could write about a Carolyn software, or you could write about cybersecurity.
You could write about FinTech. You could like, there's so many things that are classified as SAS that then get trickled down into different little mini categories, but you kind of have to have this mindset of like, okay, cool. Like, is this something that I can figure out and relay back to their audience? So let's take insurance. For example, insurance can be really complicated. They use a lot of like really scary jargon and stuff, but what you're trying to do and what a lot of new companies are doing is they're like we get it, it's confusing, let's boil it down to make it really understandable. So it's kind of the same thing. Like, Hey, cool. I think this is really fascinating. Let's like make it reader friendly for a bunch of consumers so they can figure out whether or not this is the right policy for them or whether or not this is the right company for them to work with in terms of insurance and that kind of experimental slash like, I want to understand this more slash I think other people need to learn this, um, helping mentality, I think really is important to figuring out your niches.
So, yeah. Well, okay. Okay. Reading people's minds is not my superpower. I just got to say that it was just, you know, but I think it's funny that Vicky said that reading people's minds is not her supervisor. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So when you're picking out your niches, let's think about different things that you could do. Like, and I think a lot of people, when they start feelings, writing, they want to pick big, giant niches that they've just heard are really good to make money. So even if you don't have experience in finance, or even if you don't have experience in this thing, right, you're just picking it because it makes money. But what happens is freelance writers end up picking these niches and they either can't get any clients. They don't understand the industry. So they start writing about it and it's all jumbly and really just not great writing or they ended up getting into it.
And they're just like, Oh, this is not a fit for me. Like they start doing work in there and they're just like, Oh, this is not going to work. But then they have to restart. And that's a big problem what we want to do. And of course, we're going to restart in our business, right? Like we're going to sometimes pick niches that we're like, Oh, that's not quite the right fit for me, but we don't want to start with the mindset or the premise that we're like, this makes money. I'm going to hop into it. We want to start with what will actually make us do it. Right. It's kind of like marketing. It was, you know, we want to get into a niche or actually going to spend that time. We're actually going to put in things where we will do the work. Like we are so excited about X topic or Y topic that we are going to market ourselves.
We're going to dive in deep. We're going to have a ton of ideas to pitch, to magazines. We're going to have a lot of ideas for businesses, right. And these are the kinds of things we want to get to. But there's also the piece. That's the cake and icing mindset, which I talked about in an earlier video. Right. We have to have those take niches, which are the ones that make money. Um, the ones that have a lot more business, like when I say they make money, that means they have a ton of businesses who make between that 5 million to 50 million in resident revenue. And then you have your icing niches, which are like smaller ones, like little granular versions. So, um, like if you write about health, like maybe your, um, like your icing niche is women's health. Or maybe if you write about FinTech, maybe you're icing niches like Bitcoin, although that's kind of growing recently, but they're like little offsets of larger niches and we kind of have to have this balance.
So I, our cake knishes typically pay our bills. They're typically have a lot more prospects so we can do more marketing there. And then our icing ones are like the fun topics that we have right there. Like all the little bits and pieces that are, um, like topics we are really passionate about and excited about, but they maybe don't have like hundreds of thousands of potential companies. Maybe they only have like 10,000 or maybe they only have like under a hundred thousand companies. So we have to balance that with our mindset too, when we're picking out our niches. So that means we're still incorporating experience and knowledge and what we've done in our careers so far, but we're also adding in the idea of like, Hey, we need to pick out businesses that make sense to us that also make money that we can have enough prospects, like enough companies we can reach out to in our marketing to get clients in the door and have those leads and then kind of feed our soul sometimes with like these fun icing niches, like, like a good example too, is like, if you do travel, an icing niche would be adventure travel.
It's like much more narrowed down or eco travel. It's much more narrowed down, but it's still fun. It's still within travel, but you're not going to find huge amounts of companies and publications like you would with travel. So all of these things need to be kind of in your mind as you're picking your niches, it's not just about the money. It's not just about figuring out like what other people do to make money. Because if that's part of your mindset that you're just trying to do what other people are doing to make money like, Oh yeah, I'll be a writer. I'll just write about this thing that everyone's writing about. And it just doesn't work like too many writers I've seen get in there and they end up failing really hard and they end up hating writing and quitting because they got into this thing.
Cause I thought like, Oh, well, everybody else seems to be doing it. It must work for me. And if I've learned anything from my business over the last 10 years or so, it's that you can't pretend to be somebody else you can't end up basically trying to do what, build somebody else's business. You have to build your own business, which means pulling from that experience and knowledge and pulling from what you're excited about and pulling from the things that you feel like you want to learn more about. And like, as you learn, you, you want to write more about them. Like those things are unique to you. If you try to go off and be like, my friend writes about cybersecurity, like I'm just going to go off and do that. Like that's not gonna work because it might be boring to you or you might hate it.
Or you might end up not having the experience or knowledge that they have to help relay that into you. Getting clients. It's a whole mess. You have to have this mindset of the business is yours. And you have to pick the things that work for you. It doesn't necessarily mean that everything you pick is going to work out, but it also means that you might pick something where you ended up getting a niche that you never thought you'd be in. Like I ended up in real estate because I thought it was interesting. And also I had an editor who asked me to do some pieces on it and I found it really fascinating. And that kind of opened the door to me, write about real estate and prop tech and all these different tools. And, um, it's really interesting to me, but I wouldn't have gotten there if I didn't have an interest already, my editor didn't ask me to try it out.
And I wasn't like, huh, let's try it out. Let's see how it works. Sometimes that's what happens. And there's a lot of different things that go into them that I think people forget about niches. Like my niche is what I tell people, right? Real estate, but real estate could be tech tools. It could be software, it could be SAS. It could be prop tech. It could be mortgage companies. It could be banks. It could be anything that pertains to an industry that serves real estate agents serves buyers and sellers or serves any part of the home buying process. Like all of that is real estate. And that makes it a huge deal. Like, think about that. When you're going into looking at these niches, like finance is a huge niche because you have like credit cards, you have loans, you have banks, you have lenders, you have Bitcoin, you have like random FinTech companies that are trying to do all these really cool things.
You have payment platforms, you have accounting software. Like there's a lot of things that fall into FinTech. That's in the financial niece or that fall into just general, like basically money as part of people's lives. So when you sit down to think about your niches, like as you start your freelance writing career, or maybe you're at a turning point and you're just like, Ugh, I needed to kind of like sort myself out. Think about all of that stuff. Use the, um, use your use, like a piece of paper and do some experimentation and think about all of the different things that fall in that category. Like one of my favorite things to do is I end up, um, looking at other freelance writers, like, what are they doing? Like who are they working for? What types of clips are they getting? And that informs a lot of niche stuff.
So if I go look at someone who's in travel, like I look at like 10 or 20 different freelance writers who say their travel people. I leave their looked at LinkedIn or also their website. And I'm like, okay, they're working for these types of clients doing this type of work. Do I want to do that? Is that interesting? Like not work for their clients necessarily. Um, but, but try to think about like, how does that fit in for me? Like how does that actually work? Um, and looking at all of their stuff gives you a big, broad picture. Like if you look at freelance writers who have been around the block, like they've been in there for awhile, they will have a huge array of clients. Like they will have like really small clients or really big clients. And they're all in these different niches, but you can pick out the ones that are in a specific niche and look at if that's something you want to do.
And I think that's really important to figuring out basically like, do I want to, am I excited about what they're writing about? Is that interesting? Do I have experience or knowledge in that? Is that something that I want to kind of build my business on? It looks like maybe they have some companies, but not many. If I go and Google something like top 100 companies nano top 100 FinTech companies, or if I go Google, like startups to watch FinTech or something like that, it's coming up with things that I'm actually interested in. So hold on, Linda asks a couple of questions. So Linda, I will get your questions in just a second. Yeah. So with our niches, it's not the last little point I want to make here is like, your niches should be something you're excited about. You have knowledge in and something that you feel like you've been grow into.
Sometimes you can, you can find a niche that's big enough to support your excitement about credit cards and debt reduction too. Like working with payment platforms or loans or banks. Like it's something where you feel like you have a lot of options to play with in there that you can kind of spin into different types of work for different types of companies. And then the last piece is like a lot of times people think that their niche is a type of writing. And I know that that sounds like a really good idea, but what I've seen is like, you have to be one of the very top people with a ton of experience to just say like case study writer, or just say white paper writer. Like there's a lot of people that aren't searching for white paper writer. They want someone with industry experience.
So that's where our niches come in. Like niches are specific types of businesses and publications like that. Like I mentioned, it could be food or travel or real estate or health, healthcare, insurance, finance. Um, there's someone who's writing about cars a whole bunch. Um, I know someone who's doing a lot of things with, um, like really complicated cloud-based programs like software. Uh, there's a ton of things in there, but we want to make sure that we're focusing in on what our clients are searching for, which basically means they're looking for like cyber security, white paper writer. They're not just looking for a white paper error. They want someone who is understanding of where they're coming from. They don't have to get you up to speed. They don't have to like tell you all these things. Like most of the time they will write, they'll get, they'll say like, Hey, this is our company.
This is what we're thinking about doing. They'll give you a little background, but they don't want to just get someone who randomly what writes white papers, unless you're super prominent and you've written in a ton of different niches and you can be like, yeah, here's a sample for this and this and this and this and this. Right. So I think marketing yourself during that, given those SEO terms, right? Like real estate writer or a freelance content marketing, you know, freelance travel, content, marketing, writing, or whatever your thing is. Um, I think that makes a lot more of a difference when people are searching for writers than just using a type of writing, because there's a lot of writers who use that as their marketing piece, they say like, Oh, I write articles and I do marketing materials, or I do this thing or that thing.
And the problem with that is like, that is a huge, best, you know, way to categorize yourself as a writer. It's, there's so many writers where like, they are on LinkedIn saying that they do this or that, but they don't tell you who they do it for. And that's the problem there. A lot of clients want someone with that experience. Like I've talked to, I don't know, hundreds, if not thousands of companies over my career. And they're all like, yeah, like we, what we liked about this was you had experienced in our niche. What we, like, I don't think I've ever had someone come to me and say like, we just need someone to write this thing. Like regardless of whatever industry it is, like, they're always like, Oh yeah, we found this thing we saw on LinkedIn that you write about this. Or we found a sample, something like that that pulled them in to show I had experienced in their niche.
And I think that's really important. Okay. So let me get to questions and then, cause I know we're kind of like almost there. So Linda says she has a history of a successful resume writer with career development and business profiles, but burned out on that. And I don't want to write resumes. Yeah. So Linda, you can do business writing. We can still do business writing, but that won't be your niche. Your niche would be the types of companies. So you would end up basically thinking about like who you want to do certain business things for like what types of writing do you want to do? And then what types of businesses need that? And then use like, like career development could be HR. Maybe you ended up working for HR companies. Cause you're like, I know exactly how you can find certain prospects. Like I've written resumes.
I totally get it. Like I get your process. There's a lot of different things that you can think of in your experience that then relay to the writing work you've already done. So like career development, like you can Google that and I'm sure there'll be like HR or other niches in there that you could think about. That makes sense for that type of writing and pivot from there. So the, the thing is, is like, we need to think about types of businesses that then relay with our history, like relay with things that we've already done. So I hope that was helpful. Um, and then Linda has this other question. She says, how should I think a pivoting that into my current writing, I get a lot of interest training. Yeah. So yeah, you can say like you help people with training employees, like maybe you help people write training employee manuals or you help HR professionals look for certain types of things on LinkedIn or certain types of things in resumes, or you write content for companies that are like specifically helping others hire employees, right?
Like, let's say like there's a lot of companies that are like helping people hire employees like that. Maybe that business doesn't have internal HR. Maybe they hire, they outsource it. So maybe you reach out to them and say like, Hey, I have a ton of experience working with job seekers and I can relay that into this, this and this. So I would think about pivoting in terms of skills that you have experience you have in knowledge. And I would write that down. And then I would think about types of companies that, that applies to and go look those up, like look up different freelance writers, look up different companies look up like top 100 HR companies or top, um, you know, outsource HR, outsource companies or something like that. That would make sense with the skills and experience you have. But what we want to do is build on the pieces that we already have in our business.
That makes sense. And then we can kind of pivot and add things on as we go along. So I hope that was helpful. Okay. Any other questions you can pop them in the chat if you feel like this has been helpful so far, make sure you give it a thumbs up. If you feel like you want to learn more about freelance writing, you can hit the subscribe button below, but if there's any more questions you can pop them in the chat. Um, but yeah, so what we want to do with our niches is like, we don't want to go in all kind of like Willy nilly and like just kind of pick stuff at random. We need to have a specific set of principles, which is our mindset, which means we're going in with our knowledge and experience. We're going in with things that we're excited about and interested in learning more about.
And we're in with, you know, where's kind of like these types of businesses going, like what can I experiment with maybe what do I want to add on what's an industry that's been popping up recently that I find really fascinating that, you know, the more I read about it, the more I want to get into that and how can I relay my experience that I already have into that niche? So that's a question I end up answering a lot is like how to pivot different niches or, um, basically how to, um, get started in a new niche or just like pick something in general. And a lot of times it's like positioning that experience in a way that makes sense to that point. So like if you have HR experience right, or you've done resumes or stuff, what you want to do is like, explain that in your marketing.
So like maybe if you don't have clips or maybe if you're trying to transition into different things, maybe you have a clip that crosses over, right? Maybe you have a clip that's like a little bit of HR and a little bit of food or, um, restaurant management with HR, or maybe you have something that's like HR for real estate brokers or some sort of crossover piece that you can use to move into a new new niche. So that's one way. And another way is just like explaining the skills and experience and understanding the pain points and the problems that those types of companies have. If there was someone who said that, there's like a quote that I read once, um, I forget who said it off the top of my head, but someone said like, um, if you can explain someone's pain points, they already think you have the solution.
So if you can explain like how you can help them, how you can solve their problems, how you can create content. That makes sense how you can, you know, what types of skills you have, like maybe their content needs to be research heavy or maybe their content needs a lot of quotes or something like that. Maybe those types of things, you know, you can relay that in your marketing and say, you know, yeah, HR tech is definitely a big thing. Yeah. So, um, you want to relay those things in your marketing to explain to them like, Hey, I get it. Like I get it. You know, maybe I don't have an identical clip or maybe I don't have this exact perfect thing, but someone will take a chance on you and then you got to kill it for them. So if someone takes a chance on you in a new niche and they're like, yeah, like I like what you're saying.
Like, I feel like we're a good fit. Um, and they take a chance on you moving that new niche, then you got to make sure, excuse me, then you gotta make sure you kill it. So that means you got to work really hard on that assignment. And you got to like go above and beyond what they're asking for. Because if they're giving you a chance, you need to make sure that they know that that was like the right move for them. So, um, Oh, we haven't done a puck day. I just realized that let's do a pup date. There they are. They're sleeping. They're kind of tired. It's been really rainy. She heard the tree container.
There you go. Very more, more, there you go. So I woke them up. Yeah. It's been really and sad and stuff here. So they've been, been inside a lot. Good job buddy. Good job. Everybody's been kind of tired and sleepy and they've been in here during all my masterclasses. They've been sleeping and hanging out. Yeah. Big yawn. Good job, Charlotte. One more. Let's do one more. Good job. He goes sweet. There you go. Good job. All right. Yes, Vicky. She is a good Charlotte. She is a good Charlotte. Um, yeah. So if you guys have any other questions, we have a few more minutes. So if you have any other questions, um, pop them in the chat. Yeah. Imposter syndrome sometimes pops up too. Like we all have that. That's a normal, um, my hair's okay. That's a normal thing that we all deal with is imposter syndrome.
And sometimes what we have to do is write down that list. We have to sit down and say like, what skills do I have? Am I really good at this? Am I really good at this part of the writing process? Or am I really good at this part of creating the content? Like write down that and write down the things that those niches need. Like for me, a lot of times I talk about research and interviews and those are things I'm really good at that. A lot of my niches need, like there's some niches where you don't have to do a ton of research. You're kind of like popping out content about things that are happening right now, or step-by-step processes or, um, proprietary information, all these things. So sit down and think about what you have in your tool belt already write those things down and then sit down and write a list of all the niches you're considering and say like, they need these things.
I've noticed that they've done a lot of white papers, which means they need interviews. I've noticed they've done a lot of blog posts that they then turn into eBooks. So like that needs this set of skills and see how much they match up. I think that'll kind of get rid of the impostor syndrome. Cause you're like, Oh, I have a lot more skills than I thought. And then you're like, Oh, they need a lot of my skills. They need a lot of these things in content. And one of the things I always try to remind people is like, not a lot of people can write well, like people often think that they're like, Oh, because I wrote this one thing a long time ago, like I'm, I'm a writer. Like, cause I write all the time. Right? People write emails, people write reports, but it doesn't mean they're engaging.
It doesn't mean they grow subscribers. It doesn't mean they get clicks. It doesn't mean that that content lives on for a long time. It was like a good, solid piece of content. It doesn't mean that they know how to break down complicated stuff and make it reader friendly. Like not only break it down so that it's understandable, but make it so that people want to read it. There's a lot of different things that writers do that are really important. That a lot of people don't have those skills. It ends up being this thing where like we do so much typing in our lives that people just think they can write stuff, but then they come to you and they're like, I just need a writer. Like I tried to do it and I couldn't, but I just need a writer. It's like, well, you couldn't do it.
You don't just need a writer. Like you need a specific set of skills to write it. Well, so don't forget that. Don't forget as, um, yeah. It deleted your link. Cause you put.com. You have to put in the thing and then put.com as words in there. Yeah. So think through that a little bit. Um, Linda says, yeah, so let's, let's add this as our last thing here. So she says or veers that a client will ask for something she doesn't know how to do, but I just dive in and hope I can learn it fast enough to write it. So, okay. Sometimes what we have to do is learn on the fly, which is not great all the time. Um, clients often ask you, like the way you train addition into different types of writing sometimes is that they already like your current work. And then they ask you to do something new.
Cause they're like, Hey, do you want to write this case study? Cause I already liked what you're doing. So the step there is like, cool. They already like what I'm doing. So like I can figure this out. So the thing I try to remind myself as like, I can figure this out. I can make this work. I can get it together. I can figure it out. And if you, so if you look into something, right, like let's say you look into a certain type of writing and you're just like, Whoa, this is way out of my wheelhouse. I have no idea. Like you're reading it. You're reading like dozens of examples. And it's still not making sense to you. Well maybe that's just not a fit for you. And you go back to the client and you're like, Hey, I would love to do these blog posts.
But like this isn't a fit for me. Right. I've done that before where people ask me to do certain types of writing and I'm like, Nope, like that is not my like, sorry, that's not my thing. Like I totally will do this part, but this is not my thing. So if you feel like you can talk to your client and you leave through dozens of examples and it's something that you're like, Oh like, Oh, I get the format of a case study now or, Oh, I get the format of a blog post or I understand how content marketing works. If you can figure it out before you say yes or no, whether or not you feel like you can do it. That's a good thing. Um, yeah. And it's okay to say no, if you, you it's okay to say no to your clients. It's okay to go in there.
And um, and just say like, you know what, this is not a fit for me. I'm happy to do this other work. Um, and sometimes it takes a little bit of learning what that is, right? So we look at examples and, and we figure out, okay, this is what they want. Right. We go into our client, we say, okay, can you send me some examples of the thing you want me to do? And if you look at them and you're like, Whoa, no, this is not for me. Don't push yourself to do something that you're like, Whoa, this is not going to work. We want to take things on that. We feel like we're going to do well with, we want to challenge ourselves sometimes. Right? We want to take on projects that we challenge ourselves with, but not so far that like, we will do a totally like project that isn't a fit for us just to try to do this thing and get it done.
And then it ends up being a huge disaster. Like I've taken gigs long ago where I was like, this is going to be great. I'll figure it out. And like, I pushed myself way too far. Cause I was like, I kind of get it, but not really. And it was a huge disaster, so yeah. Yeah. So I hope that was helpful. So what we want to do is like figure out, like from the examples they give you whether or not that's a fit, if it's not just tell them. So if it is, you know, give it a shot, um, see how it works out, but don't get into a place where you're taking something and just like going on the fly, trying to figure out this entire new type of writing, like on the fly that's like is way out of your ballpark. So. Okay.
Um, cool. Any other questions you can pop them in the chat. If you feel like this has been helpful, give it a thumbs up.

It's a whole bunch of different things, but it's also being open-minded and figuring out kind of what you're excited about and what your, um, wanna learn more about, but also incorporate experience and things that you already have, you know, under your, like, not under in your tool belt. So when last pup date let's do one last pub date. There they are sleeping. Oh, did you hear me click it? All right. We'll give you one more to you. There you go. Good job buddy.
