How to Find a Freelance Skill with High Job Offers (+ 50 HOT Freelance Jobs in 2023 PDF)
Updated: Apr 28
What is a Freelance Niche (or skill, job, market)?
A freelance niche is a focused, targetable portion of a broader freelance market in which specialized services can be easily sold.
A lucrative freelance business niche should:
Have a specific hungry audience,
Meet underserved or unmet needs.
Be profitable in terms of business.
Be easy to penetrate because of little to no competition.
How do you go about finding a lucrative niche for your service business?
Step 1: List Your Passion: What are 15 Topics You’re Knowledgeable In?
Do you happen to know more about wealth, financing, accounting or savings than your friends, colleagues, or even family do?
Are there certain questions your friends rush to ask you when they’re lost about specific things?
Yes?
Put them down. (Don't have any? Keep reading, I have a long list for you below).
Ask people around you questions like:
How can I help you?
What problems can I help you solve?
Simple steps like these can help you unlock hidden freelance skills you may have that are pretty in demand. (Don't worry, I'll show you a simple way to verify your skills are in demand).
Step 2: Identifying Your Ideal Freelance Client: Who You’d Prefer to Work With?
Your ideal client is the perfect person you want to work with.
How do you know your ideal client?
Who were you before learning this skill?
Someone out there weaving big money looking for your skills, put yourself out there!!!
For example, my ideal freelance client(s) will have these characteristics;
A start-up making 6-7 figures in revenue yearly from the software.
Is in the B2B space.
1 to 15 employees.
Is willing to pay me anywhere around $500 to $3000 monthly to write articles for them.
Understands the importance of blogging but needs a professional team behind it.
Does not understand the ins and outs of blogging but wants to give it a shot to open doors for growth.
Simple and easy to work with.
Stays a minimum of 3 months working with me.
Preferably a software start-up.
Thus my Ideal Client is a B2B software start-up doing 6 to 7 figures yearly with around 1 to 10 employees.
Step 3: Find and Connect Your Epiphany Story
What is an Epiphany story?
Epiphany is an “Aha!” moment. It is your "Aha" moment.
It is the moment when a character is suddenly hit with a life-changing realization that changes the rest of the story.
Most times, an epiphany story begins with a small, everyday occurrence or experience.
First, think about the niche idea you had in the previous step.
Next, think of how you came about learning whatever skill it is.
What struggle did you face?
What was it like before becoming an expert in your field?
For example;
“My website’s design was horrible and thus had a huge negative impact on my traffic”
Step 4: Run the Quora-Planner Hack (a FREE Trick to Verify Your Skills are In-Demand).
What is the Quora-Planner Hack?
The Quora-planner hack is a simple strategy to enable service providers to confirm the validity of their skills, check the trend of their niche, and confirm that people are looking for their skills.
This will help you understand how valuable your skill currently is in the market and to ensure you don’t waste years promoting skills no one wants.
How to Perform the Quora-Planner Hack?
On your Keyword Planner dashboard, click the tools and settings tab and then select “Discover New Keywords” and run these 2 search strings:
[your broad market] - e.g. Freelance Writer.
[your niche market] - e.g. Freelance writer for software businesses.
How many times were the keywords searched?
Now on Quora.com, you want to run the same search strings like you did in the previous step.
Scroll a little below and select the “Past Year” filter to reveal results from the last 12 months.
On that page, you can see a long list of all the questions and answers people are asking on the internet about your market.
