What is your target market?

That’s the question that Freelancers Union member Ilise Benun wants to help you answer.

As most independent workers know, specialization trumps generalization. It allows you to charge more money, be more memorable to clients, and save time.

For example, selling yourself as a copywriter just isn’t as effective as selling yourself as a white paper copywriter or a writer who specializes in alumni magazines.

Finding your niche is an art, though. Which is why Ilise Benun (a.k.a. The Marketing Mentor) is trying to help freelancers choose the right focus, target their ideal clients, and pick the right niche and ultimately simplify their lives.
