Become a One Trick Pony to Make a Fortune

When you are first starting out you face a lot of competition. How many of the 7 billion Earthlings are in your chosen field?

You have to rise above all the others! A daunting task, but one made feasible by becoming a one trick pony!

It may sound cliche but it's proven- it does not matter how many subjects you've mastered and how many talents you possess- the most valuable strategy when you first start out is to appear to be the master of one.

Take writing for instance. Most of us on Steemit want to be excellent writers. There are a lot of people trying to be paid writers. You must first capture and retain an audience. Your audience is who pays your bills. Without an audience, you go hungry. In order to obtain and retain readers the most valuable strategy is to present yourself as an expert in one subject- your "niche."

Sure you can write about a whole bunch of varying things, and you will gain a fan base. However, if you appear as a supreme master in one area you will grow faster.

By focusing on what you know, you will educate or entertain the public with your unique knowledge. You will capitalize on what you know and your experience.

It does not matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, focus on one single strong subject that you are comfortable with when you are first starting out. One area of expertise people have commended you for, or that you have studied extensively and can talk about all afternoon. After they are in love with your work, you can begin to branch out into other areas, growing your audience as you go, niche by profitable niche :)
