Micro-niche
A narrowly defined topic within a broader niche.
Micro-niches concentrate audience signal. A channel about 'home espresso machines under $500' is denser than one about 'coffee'.
Algorithms reward density: tightly defined channels accumulate topical authority faster.
Most channels broaden after establishing authority. Going broad first usually fails.
Why it matters
Starting micro-niche and broadening from authority is the dominant strategy for new channel growth.
How to improve it
- 01Define your micro-niche in one sentence.
- 02Hold to the micro-niche for the first 50 uploads.
- 03Broaden only after authority is established.
