Stacey, this comment fits in with what you’re saying but I’m not sure how. It may be because I’m not actively trying to set up a business, let alone trying to capitalize on anything.

I find that talking to strangers about my blog, my goal, my dream, even my FEELINGS helps me better define my USP. I listen closely to the adjectives they use when they react to what I say. I’ve noticed several words used more frequently than others.

Then, I hit the thesaurus and start brain storming away.

I’m still working on my USP on my end, but I do try to get closer!
