If you want to be in total control of your own career, then it’s likely that you’ve thought about starting your own business. Freelancing can definitely work out for you, but what you need to do to make it a success is find your own place on the market. For that, the most solid way of assuring your place is looking at those services businesses are always going to need the most. Services like those we look into below.

Markets
Some businesses can be woefully inadequate at thoroughly understanding what their audience wants to see from them. Many might think it’s simple to advertise, but the truth is that you need a deeper understanding of a consumer’s wants and the values associated with a product, not just the product itself. If you can learn those fundamental concepts of marketing and you can pair them with a significant method of delivering them (social media, pop-up design, photography, or video, for example) then you have a service that businesses are going to need. You can also act as a consultant helping a business identify its brand and helping them find the best ways to advertise them.

Money
A keen grasp on money is essential to keep a business successful and not eating too much of its own profits. That said, it’s not easy or quick to take care of the financial side of a business, so many bosses don’t have those skills themselves. For the most success on the market, you have to able to offer the most services, including the legal responsibilities of taxes and audits you’re only qualified for after you pass the CPA exam. Many small and middle sized businesses don’t have the ability to hire an accountant for themselves, That’s why so many of them look to outsourced accounting services, instead.

Tech
There are few businesses nowadays that aren’t finding themselves relying on more tech in the business. Most employees need a computer and the business can benefit as a whole by setting up a network that allows everyone to stay connected and share the same pool of resources. Those networks aren’t easy to manage, however, and get more demanding as they grow. Starting an IT consultancy means you help businesses run those internal IT systems. You can offer to be on hand any time they need a fix or an extra level of security. By offering your services in an ‘as-you-need-it’ capacity, you can get paid retainers from multiple companies at once. But given how often IT systems need a helping hand, don’t assume your job will revolve sitting around waiting all day.
To really nail your place in the market in, you have to think about finding the niche in your business. Do you have experience in an industry that you can pair with your services to target one part of the market specifically? Can you think of a geographic location where your services are in demand? You don’t have to focus on your niche exclusively, but it can help you create the strong base to grow your market share from.
