About Niche of One
If you're tired of guru bullshit and algorithm games, you're home.
This isn't another productivity blog promising overnight success. It's a living workspace where I figure out how to make writing profitable, create meaningful work, and build an indie business that doesn't suck your soul dry.
You'll find:
- Real strategy for creators — tools, templates, workflows that actually work
- Essays on writing, focus, and digital culture — no fluff, just lived experience
- Behind-the-scenes transparency — my numbers, failures, and experiments in real time
Everything here is built on one principle: Simple. Repeatable. Human.
Who This Is For
You're a writer, builder, or thinker trying to create something meaningful. You value depth over trends. You want to build a body of work, not just content. You're done with fake enthusiasm and want honest advice from someone who's been in the trenches.
What You Get
Free: One solid article every week, plus my no-fluff newsletter with curated links only. Basic tools and resources. Join the conversation in comments.
The Real Work ($5/month): Everything above, plus all premium articles (3-4 more per week), behind-the-scenes transparency—my revenue reports, what bombed, how I actually write. Templates and systems as I build them. Early access to courses and guides. Every eBook I write, forever. Ask me questions directly.
No hype, no promises of overnight success—just real methods that work.
Who I Am
Joe Forrest. USAF vet, failed entrepreneur turned steady builder.
I've spent two decades figuring out how to make writing profitable without becoming a guru or losing my mind. I've failed more than I've succeeded, but each failure taught me something useful.
Niche of One is where I work it all out — the thoughts, drafts, experiments. Not always perfect, but always honest.
