Background: getting specific

For example: let’s say you want to write about “money.”

It’s fine to start there, but right away you probably realize how BIG the topic of “money” is. “Money” could mean everything from investing money to saving money to picking stocks to buying real estate to even the emotional relationship you have with money as a societal construct. Which means you need to niche down: pick one direction, and get more specific.

V2: “I want to write about investing money.” V3: “I want to write about investing money in your 20s.” V4: “I want to write about investing money in your 20s so you can buy your first rental property in your 30s.”
