## Prompt

```text
Help me choose a freelance niche that I can realistically become known for.

**My skills:** [e.g. "copywriting, email marketing, some web design"]
**Industries or topics I know well:** [past jobs, hobbies, communities]
**Work I enjoy and work I'd rather avoid:** [DETAILS]
**Proof I already have:** [past results, portfolio pieces, credentials]
**Income goal:** [MONTHLY OR YEARLY]
**Niche ideas I'm considering (optional):** [LIST]

Do this:
1. Suggest 4-6 niche options, each defined as a specific client + a specific problem (e.g. "email flows for independent coffee roasters"), not just a skill.
2. Score each 1-5 on: how badly clients feel the problem, their ability to pay, how easy they are to reach, my credibility today, and how crowded it is. Explain each score in a line.
3. Pick the strongest option and explain the trade-off I'm accepting.
4. Write a one-line positioning statement: "I help [CLIENT] [ACHIEVE RESULT] by [HOW]".
5. Name 3 places where these clients gather and 3 signs that the niche is working within 90 days, and when to adjust it.

Output: a scoring table (Niche | Pain | Can pay | Reachable | My credibility | Crowding | Total), then the recommendation and positioning line.

Where you would need market data to judge (rates, demand), say what to check rather than guessing figures.
