How do you choose? First, know yourself. Know what you are good at. Know what you like.

Also, be smart. Create your niche whererepparttar 116409 money is. Find your niche where there is a strong market.

And be smart aboutrepparttar 116410 size of your niche. Don't go so narrow that you're forever starved of work. Don't go so broad that people view you as a Jack or Jill of all trades, a generalist.
