Stop worrying that producing both high-level 'sizzle' content and deep, technical content will make you seem inconsistent. Your audience is not a monolith. This 'and' approach appeals to different segments and creates more connection points, rather than alienating anyone.

This broad appeal can indirectly strengthen your core business by building a multi-faceted personal brand that people connect with on different levels.

Making hyper-specific content for your target audience is the most effective form of targeting. Resist making broad content for vanity metrics, as it won't reach qualified buyers.

Instead of guessing your content niche, find the overlap between topics your inner circle seeks your advice on and the content your ideal clients already consume. This data-driven approach combines perceived personal expertise with proven market demand, ensuring relevance and authority.
