As a leader in your niche, you have the advantage of influencing a lot of people. Because of that, you can create your own terms, nicknames, and acronyms for the ideas and things that you want to teach your audience. There are likely already terms in a specific niche that you should know for example SEO (search engine optimization) is a common term used in the internet marketing circles.
Some examples of created terms for a niche are:
• Solopreneur – This term did not exist forever, believe it or not. It’s only been around in the 21st century and means a person who works for themselves, alone.

You get the picture. These acronyms, terms or nicknames that are given to things and ideas in different niches sometimes take on a life of their own. That’s why it’s a good idea to try to create your own for your niche when you can. If you’re an authority in your niche there is no reason you can’t create your own terms and acronyms to describe something you want to get across to your audience.
If you do it and do it successfully, you’ll have a huge advantage because you’ll be known as the person who first uttered the words and it will solidify you as the go-to expert in your niche. Not only that, a nice acronym makes it a lot easier to teach your audience what they need to know to solve their problems just as easily as a good acronym can also teach your kids the order of operations in math.
