Hey!

Welcome back to Niche Weekly. Thank you so much for being a part of my weekly rants.

Here’s what’s NEW this week:

• I just Lost $2,500 😢 

• UGA Idea Accelerator

• Pre-Order Updates 🙂 

• Content Roadmap 📸 

I Just Lost $2,500 😢 

Just this evening, I competed in the UGA Idea Accelerator pitch night, against a number of other wonderful businesses, and entrepreneurs. (That’s why this newsletter is coming out late at night! 😅 

I was INSANELY nervous for this pitch. It took place in front of a live audience and was judged by 5 guest judges who are all successful UGA alumni. It was a super competitive group, but might pitch went well, and I managed to place 3rd overall out of 11 amazing companies!

The winner, Juzogo, is a ride share startup out of Atlanta, and they won $2,500 in funding. Their model is super interesting and innovative, and you should definitely check them out if you get a chance!

So, I didn’t technically lose $2,500. (It’s for the email clickbait ha-ha) But I didn’t win it either. Nonetheless, I’m very proud of myself for placing third in this pitch competition while going up against such great entrepreneurs.

UGA Idea Accelerator

With the pitch tonight, that marks the end of my time at the UGA Idea Accelerator. It was a fun, hard, and rather uncomfortable 4 weeks, but it pushed Niche to evolve, and break through boundaries, and I’m so grateful for that.

During this time, I:

• Had to talk to 100 NEW people every week!

• Set insane goals and reach them!

• Found the problem I was solving with Niche

• Identified pain points for my customers

• Found my ideal customers, and what defines them.

• Gathered feedback from lots of audiences.

This was a great, and successful month, and it for sure accelerated Niche’s progress.

I’m looking forward to participating in similar programs through UGA or not later on, or maybe even establishing a sort of entrepreneur support group, where we can share ideas and progress, and push each other to grow. (LMK if this is something you’d be interested in!)

Pre-Order Updates 🙂 

Pre-Orders are going GREAT so far! (Order yours if you haven’t already! 😉)

We destroyed our goal for pre-order revenue for the accelerator, which was $1,500 in one week.

We have done $2,115 in pre-order revenue so far, with 48 pre-orders. I am SO THANKFUL for all of you guys, your support, and your excitement over Niche. We’ve been working so hard on making this product perfect for y’all, and we’re beyond excited for you all to try it!

Pre-Orders will remain open until roughly a week before we get our inventory order in. (likely around 3 or so weeks) So, if you’re interested in receiving the perks associated with becoming a founding member, place your pre-order before they go away forever!

Just hit me with a DM on Insta!

Content Roadmap 📸 

A BIG focus for us right now is finding our social media identity. Our Instagram has been performing really well, and we’ve built a great follower base. (Thanks to you guys! 😊)

But we know social media is going to be a huge customer acquisition channel for us, so now we’re pushing even harder on it! Quin and I have laid out a content roadmap for this week where we’re posting different kinds of content to find what works best with the algorithm, and what has the most potential to go viral!

Here’s some of the different types of content we’re experimenting with:

• Brain rot reels 🧟 

• Short-form Reels

• Skit reels 😆 

• Vlog reels

• Informational posts ℹ️ 

• Informational reels

• Comedic posts 🤣 

Please provide us feedback whenever you can! We want to hear from you guys, and what you like and don’t like. Never be afraid to comment, or DM me personally, as I would love to hear from y’all.

That’s all I have for you this week! Thank you so much for reading!

Talk to you soon,

Wyatt | Founder
