I wouldn't worry yet about a niche because we are still so new. If you plan to do that later on I wouldn't waste your best content now while nobody is looking.
I do think that people would be interested in your consignment business because it is interesting and relatable . Communities will work well in the future but right now I think people are more interested in learning about the ecosystem and how to earn here.
My issue with steemit is that people complain about shit content. Well, that is exactly what social media is and that is what people share on facebook and instagram. If "shit" content is not embraced steemit won't grow.
If people are expected to leave facebook for steemit then we have share the same crap with our network that we on facebook.
I think early adopters like us should focus on outreach and helping the new members. If all they get out of steemit is frustration then this thing is over.
When and if this takes off you will be the pied piper bringing your networks onto steemit and write about what they want to hear. Trying to write for the entire steemit community and trying to please them is a daunting task and you'll burn out.
Great points and I agree with all of them! Most people are not bloggers, they just share whats going on with them however mundane it is. I know that Steemit is a blogging platform but i think its going to evolve into a more casual social media experience..
I am just going to write about whatever is on my mind for right now and focus on a niche hopefully as steemit grows :)
