I'll give you a real world example, using Minecraft (except not exactly what I did - since I was involved in the community, I just knew where to go). And, I'll work it out as I go

#

So, first my chosen niche.

Minecraft, has mini companies called servers, and they need awesome designs to attract a user base. That's my niche.

#

So, first thing I'll do is find where the people who make those servers go to chat to other people who make minecrraft servers

I just skim read through the reddit thread of the first link, seems to be a lot of technical talk which seems related.

#

So, we found this reddit community

#

I'll then search through the reddit community, to find people looking for where to find designers

#

#

Seems like many people pay on r/mcstaff subreddit, I'll keep that in my pocket

hm

#

and going through a bunch of other questions right now

#

to have more than just one

pure ember Jul 31, 2025, 12:50 PM

#

so i find people who post like that ?

#

This person mentioned "buildbybit" and "for devs", but I'll check it out anyways

#

Seems they do web development & design is well?

#

In the minecraft section, they do graphics too, so it wasn't just for devs

#

Money is being spent - "purchases", and "server icons" and stuff are being bought and sold, exactly what I'm looking for

#

At this point, I'll probably make an account and see if I can get something going

#

but let's go back to r/mcstaff

#

Perfect.

#

only 6 from this month though, so I'd keep searching

I started my research, almost exactly 10 minutes ago.

#

I found a pretty good website and a subreddit.

#

If I was taking this seriously, I'd spend a couple hours.

#

Do you understand now? Reverse engineer it. Find where the people hiring, actually look for people to hire.

And, realise that they will probably not know, so they'll ask where to find places to hire.

So, go to places where people ask questions to other people in their field.
