Should I pursue another niche alongside real estate outreach, or focus on increasing volume and improving copy?
My recommendation is to split test: run two different niches instead of just one, sending 350 emails to each niche per day (instead of 700 to one). The time will pass anyway, so after a week you’ll have either sent the same volume with no data, or the same volume with actionable intel showing which niche is efficient and which isn’t. You have that choice with any activity—track what you’re doing (e.g., daily phone or computer usage) and at the end of the period you’ll have data to analyze and iterate on. That’s why I’m bullish on tracking everything; with data you can analyze and then implement improvements.
The issue is usually a mix of list, volume, and copy, but copy tends to be the biggest lever—about an 80/20 split. Rather than wondering whether to add another niche, you should always be running multiple tests in parallel. Treat each outreach effort as a test: different offers, different niches, same offer to different niches, etc. Aim to have three to six simultaneous tests (for example, two offers across three niches gives six tests). Run them for a few weeks, measure which get the highest response, then drop the underperformers and repeat. This continuous split‑testing approach maximizes learning and improves conversion over time.
First, check out my Loom outreach videos by searching for “Nick Sarraf Loom” on the main channel – I posted a tutorial a few days ago. Regarding niches, I usually advise picking three rather than committing to just one. This way you don’t put all your eggs in one basket and risk weeks or months of low results. You can run three parallel campaigns by reusing most of the work from the first niche, simply tweaking the messaging and lead filters for the other two. After a month or two you’ll see which niche converts best and can double down on it. As for daily time commitment, it’s up to you. The lead‑generation activities themselves only require about an hour and a half to two hours a day if you work smart.
I think you're mixing up the niche with the service you're providing. You can treat the AI content repurposing service as a layer that sits on top of any of those niches. In practice you cross‑multiply the service with each niche, creating separate tests for each combination. For example, you could run the AI repurposing service for health tech, e‑commerce, creator economy, and digital education. That gives you eight service‑niche combos. Then you add three outreach methods—cold DMs, cold email, and ads—so you end up with 8 × 3 = 24 distinct experiments. You can run these in parallel, using split tests in your campaigns. When choosing which niches to prioritize, I usually focus on digital, high‑ticket opportunities with low regulatory friction. Health tech is heavily regulated, so I’d avoid it as a beginner. Creator‑economy services, e‑commerce/DTC, and digital education/e‑learning are less regulated and align well with a high‑ticket, digital service. The goal is to accumulate experience quickly while minimizing regulatory hurdles, so pick the niches that let you test fast and scale.
I understand wanting to work in a niche you have experience in, but I’ve succeeded in many niches where I had none. I look for high‑ROI opportunities and dive in using whatever means necessary. Following your heart doesn’t always lead to the highest ROI, so my strategy is simple: I test many niches based on intuition—knowing I’ll often be wrong—then I double down on the one that works. This might involve a month‑long test of sending cold emails with different offers to different groups, or simply getting as many deals as possible on a platform like Upwork to see which niche pays best. Once I see a winning niche, I focus on it.
