Be a specialist.

No matter what you do, being specific about what you're good at is key. It allows you to focus on that one thing and therefore portrays to your audience that you excel in that area. I have dubbed myself a "creator of innovative goods" and by clearly defining my title, I have made this my specialty.
  • List your talents and skills. If someone were to describe you - what adjectives would they use?
  • Keep it simple. Even though you're probably good at a number of things, pick the ones you are passionate about.
  • Be clear on what you do. Be as specific as possible - you're creating your own niche.
  • Promote these skills. However you can, broadcast your new "title".
