What is Niching down ?

Also called: niche down

Narrowing your channel to a specific topic so the algorithm and audience know it.

Niching down (niche down) — Narrowing your channel to a specific topic so the algorithm and audience know it.

Niching down means committing to a focused topic rather than posting about everything. A clear niche helps the algorithm understand who to show your videos to and builds a loyal, predictable audience.

For faceless channels it also makes production repeatable — one format, one style, one type of footage you can batch efficiently.
