Everyone of us has a niche market for our voice over business. Some of us just haven't realized it yet, found it yet, or taken the leap to pursue it yet. I hope this episode becomes an inspirational launch point for you!
Ian Fishman has not one, not two, not even three niche brands. He's actually created four! Each one with a specific focus and target audience and each one adding consistent leads and opportunities into his pipeline. Each one also follows it's own unique model. Grab a pen and paper and take some notes. You're going to learn a lot!
