Do You REALLY Need a Niche?

If you’re a new writer, definitely NOT!

If you can get away without a niche as a newbie freelance writer, a hobby writer definitely doesn’t need one! Like Daryl, I spent too many hours researching blogging advice. I almost lost sight of my first reason for wanting to blog.

I wanted a push to write regularly and an audience, even if it was tiny. I hoped that if I wrote enough, I’d find my “writing voice” and discover what I most wanted to write about. I wanted my writing to bless others. It didn’t matter if I never got feedback.

I know a little about a lot of things. I don’t know nearly enough about any one thing to write over 1,000 words about it. I have no interest in writing a book, and even less inclination to promote myself. The false belief that I needed a niche paralyzed me for months. Fortunately, I found assurance that I did NOT need a niche. My relief sparked this article: Nicheless IS a Valid Option.

I'm a hobby writer. I'm retired and don't need another income. Knowing all the non-writing tasks required for a freelance writing business terrifies me. If I never earn more than $2 on Medium, I'm OK with that. There's no advice online for writers with no ambition to do more than to write.
