Niche

The specific topic and audience a creator or account focuses on.

A niche is the focused topic and audience an account is built around — for example “budget vegan recipes” rather than simply “food.”

A clear niche is one of the strongest growth levers there is. It makes your account legible: a new visitor instantly understands who it’s for and why to follow. It also helps the algorithm categorise and recommend your content to the right people, and it makes you more valuable to brands targeting that audience.

The common mistake is going too broad too early. Narrow your focus first, build authority, then expand once you have a loyal core.

Define your niche, then follow your platform’s growth guide to grow it.
