Should I wait to start marketing until I find my niche or have everything perfect?

No. Stop hopping around from one platform to another, taking marketing classes, or waiting until you have your niche figured out. You have to get started and get going. You want to do this as young as possible because momentum is real and it compounds—but only if you’re doing the basics and working on the right stuff consistently. There’s no perfect moment. The time to start is now, because you have decades ahead of you as a creator, and the sooner you begin building proper foundations, the more time you have for those efforts to compound.
