How to Personalise This

Replace the placeholder at the bottom with something like:

The more specific you are, the better the output.

Why This Matters

A clear niche means:

  • Your marketing speaks directly to one type of person
  • You can charge more because you're a specialist, not a generalist
  • Clients find you — instead of you chasing them
