building /juicebox | product marketing & growth | prev. NounsDAO, RAW DAO | learning to code

I’m into making clothing, there are cool niche communities around that in the most random places. 

Most of my friends who are academics or writers hang out at certain bars, on parts of twitter, instagram 

Niches form naturally, but why here? Trying to get past that cold start issue because I don’t post about my niche hobbies here, it’d get worse engagement

I get much better engagement on purple app when posting about my niche interests, perhaps because tastemaking is scarce in a “tech” context vs. IG which is much more dominated by creatives, artists, designers, etc.

not sure that I have the perfect answer to why this type of niche maxxing should grow on FC, but I suspect that every acct having a wallet and being able to use frames/bots creates the conditions for a creator economy to thrive sustainably.

figuring out my next thing | marketing, content, growth | prev. Juicebox, Nouns, RAW DAO | casting about coffee, hi-fi, and other rabbit holes

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make beautiful, functional, and ethically made candles at humankind.place

big agree

the casters yearn for hi-fi and candles

I think people are thirsty here for non crypto stuff! Like speakers.. and candles 😛

perhaps, but in my experience there's a significant difference in engagement vs. my casts about crypto

I’m thinking it’s more about the particular people that engage with the casts then the algo picks it up then boom.

what if it’s because we are all autistic supergeniuses and we love/need deep niche interests because we’ve already grown bored of everything surface-level 😎

My knitposts pop off maybe more than health lol

interesting insight. perhaps the case with every social network at the start- remember FB groups early days. Yet to see a single type of niche emerge on warpcast , may be it never will as we may have clients specific to each niche.
