Most people overthink their niche. I didn't.
I picked one thing: SaaS explainer videos.
Not "motion design." Not "animation." Not "video production."
Just: SaaS explainers.
Here's what happened when I got specific:
→ Clients found me instead of me chasing them → My rate doubled because I spoke their language → My portfolio became a magnet, not a museum
The formula I use for every project:
Understand the user's confusion — not the product's features
Script before I open After Effects
Keep it under 90 seconds — always
Motion that guides the eye, not distracts it
If you're a motion designer stuck under $1K/month, your problem isn't skill.
It's specificity.
What's your niche? #motiondesign #freelance #SaaSvideo #contra
