Career coaching
Worked steadily, pays on urgency.
The catch
Urgency supports a high single-session price but rarely a long engagement. Clients leave when they get the job, which is the point.
Who already has the raw material
- HR, recruiting or career services
- Hiring-manager experience
Background is the strongest single predictor of whether a niche works out, because it decides how long you spend building credibility before anyone pays you.
What buyers require first
- Credibility in the client’s own industry
- A CV and interview toolkit
Who the client actually is
Someone mid-transition, often under time pressure and paying themselves.
Work arrives through linkedin, referrals and marketplaces. Picking a niche is also picking which of those you are willing to do every week for a year.
