The Product School – Be An Artist

Being known for doing something a certain way always seems more powerful and often more useful than being known for building or doing a very specific thing. Artists work in styles, companies fight for markets. Both can be successful but which would you want?

Apple builds Beautiful, Photojojo builds Fun, Billykirk builds Handemade, 37 Signals builds Simple, BestMadeCo builds Adventure and Heritage, WholeFoods builds Health.

Microsoft builds software, Dell builds computers, Canon builds cameras, Salesforce builds CRMs, Safeway builds grocery stores.

If you build an adjective you can shift what you describe, you can grow, and you have fans not customers. If you build a noun you get competitors, you get backlash with change, you get worry, your definition rarely moves.

Adjectives are movements by their descriptive nature. Nouns are purpose fillers.

Is it really that obvious which type of niche to choose?
