Thank u for this ❤ In another video you said, there are writers on substack, that basically write about their life, so .... what themes do you define on the about page then:) and isn't that too broad? Happy to hear your suggestion.

It depends on which part of your life that you would be more likely to share. Some people share about their specific diet while some people write about their dating lives. We all have different aspects of life and that's a lot to write about. How to be more "niche" I would suggest don't worry about the about page for now, go ahead to write 10 posts, you will be more likely to find what you are passionate to write about and then give it a summary on your about page. Another tip, send your 10 posts to friends or use chatgpt to brainstorm your about page. Hope this helps. If there's anything else, just let me know.

@@dotpink Thank you ,thats a good approach, to make it the other way round. I will try that! The thing is i already wrote on medium under a pseudonym and it is mostly about writing and note taking and thats ok, and there is a lot to write about, but somehow i have more interests like books i read, or movies i watched or also things that happened to me in my everyday life, that make me think:) and i was wondering, if i need like ten pseudonyms for each interest, or if i can just write about whatever i want. that would be a relief but it is so anti niche, that in the end i guess i would write just for me, as you say, who writes for anyone writes for no one:) or maybe there is another way to niche down, but not tied to themes...hmm... I will definetly check out your content

Best luck! I have seen both methods worked. A broader range of topics and then niche down, or a very niche topic first and then going broader. It really depends on what you are writing. The most important thing is keep working on it over a long period of time then you can analyse and get data out of them and then you will likely to have a better direction about what people want to read and what you want to write. It's like in any relationship, it has to work for both.
