My name is Grace and I am the co-founder, owner and creator of Filipino Virtual Assistants, and allow me to share with you today how you can choose your freelancing niche. A lot of people would come into the freelancing industry not knowing the niche that they can start with and this is important because this is where you need to be established as a freelancer. This is where you need to brand yourself in order for you to grow your freelancing as a business. So here are some steps on how you can go ahead and decide on a freelancing niche. Number one, you have to start with the niche or the work that you have prior experience. Probably, you used to go and work in an office setting. So you can be an administrative assistant or executive assistants or an office assistants. Probably, you work as a real estate agent or broker. So you come into the freelancing world and be a real estate professional or real estate virtual assistant. Probably, you're an accountant or a bookkeeper or an accounting tech. So you can come-in in the online freelancing world and be an online bookkeeper or a financial manager or whatever it is that you'd like to highlight, that you know the job. So you just want to transition from the offline from the office setting into the online world. Number two, you have to start with a skill that you know. So probably, you're a fresh graduate or a college undergraduate, you're a mother, a father that you don't have any experience with working in an office setting at all. So you don't have previous experience that you can bring on the table. So start with the skill that you know. What is it that you know to serve clients? The services that you can provide to clients. Probably, it is a PowerPoint presentation. Probably, it is online research. Probably, it is data entry. Probably, transcription. So you can go ahead and start from there. Identify the skills that you know and this can be a freelancing niche that you can start with. Number three, is the skill or the skills that you are going through in your training right now. So probably, you are taking Filipino Virtual Assistants freelancing course and in that course there is lead generation, email marketing, social media, SEO, Facebook ads. You can choose any of those skills that you feel like you're more geared or inclined into and choose that skill as your freelancing niche. So the number one, is the skill that you have prior experience. Number two, the skill that you can render to clients right away because you know how it's being done and number three, the skill that you are going through in your training right now. That you can go through and learn how to be an expert at it at the end of the month. It's something that you can already give to clients. Now these are just the niches that you can start with. You can always rebrand or continue or grow from there. When you're able to go ahead and be adjusted in the freelancing world. It is the time now that you identify your focus niche.

So probably, as a freelancer. Probably, as a graphics designer. Probably, as a video editor. So this is the niche that you know how to strategize. You know how to go ahead and render with full capacity and you're going to be an asset to the company. So go and choose that niche. The niche that you're able to give to clients with your fullest potential. So that's number four. And the number five niche, is the niche that you need to go ahead and be established. Because the number one, two and three are niches that you can start with you know and those are the very niches probably that you can go ahead and be established. And number four, it's probably a season where you can go ahead and rebrand and focus on the niche that you can go ahead and master or serve and probably your very niche in numbers one, two, three and four, and five are the same. Because in number five, this is the niche now that I'd like to propose. A skill that you'd like to really enjoy working. What you want to grow as a freelancer, you need to be providing services in the niche that you would blossom more. So probably it is social media, SEO, it is a real estate virtual assistant, project management, copywriting. Whatever it may be, it should be a niche that at the end of the day you're satisfied because you don't only know how to render that service. You know with the fullest potential and the fullest productivity, but you also enjoy it while you're working on it. It's the niche that will bring out a lot of creativity in you, a lot of satisfaction in you, a lot of fulfillment in you. So you would feel rewarded and fulfilled at the end of the day. So even if it will take years and years and years. Even if there are teammates and clients that would be a little challenging to handle with. You are blossoming in that niche because it's the niche or the skill that you really enjoy working. So again number one, you can start with a niche that you know how to do from your previous experience. Number two, you can also start with the niche that you know right now. Because it's a skill that you can start with. Number three, it's a niche that you are learning in your online Academy, in your lessons, in your courses. Number four, it's a niche that you know how to go and render to clients from their full capacity. And number five, it's a niche that you enjoy working. So again number one, you can start with a niche that you know how to do from your previous experience. Number two, you can also start with the niche that you know right now. Because it's a skill that you can start with. Number three, it's a niche that you are learning in your online Academy, in your lessons, in your courses. Number four, it's a niche that you know how to go and render to clients from their full capacity. And number five, it's a niche that you enjoy working. Transcription Prepared by: Cheenee del Rosario Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=wqPKZn0Y9KE&t=181s Your niche can just grow from one to the fifth. It can be all in the same niche. Probably, in number two that's the time that you're going to go ahead and identify. And it can be grown or it can develop into the fifth type of niche you know. It's something that you know what to do and can give to clients. And eventually, it's the fifth type of niche that you really enjoy. Or probably, you reach number four and re-do everything all over again because you have discovered that it's only your sub-services. It's not your main service. Ok. Because you can provide a lot of services. You can provide SEO, Web development. But you have to really focus on the niche that you would feel like you are rewarded and you are growing and you are developing and you're enjoying at the same time. Because you can be going into the niches which are very competitive and niches which are very high when it comes to the hourly rate and the project contracts. However, if you don't feel rewarded working on it it's something that you won't enjoy and at the end of the day, you would feel like it's toxic, it's stressful and you don't like working again on the next day. So you can start with the niche that's very temporary or something that you can start with. But eventually, as a freelancer, choose a niche that you can be established as a freelancer and this niche should be something that you really enjoy working. That would be all for today. I hope this has been helpful in your freelancing growth. I will see you again in the next video. God bless you today. -Music-
