Happy Monday!

It’s been a mixed bag of weather here in Central Ontario today. This morning it was freezing rain when I went for my doctor’s appointment, but by the time I came out the rain had stopped and it was a gorgeous almost-spring day. And then at 5 p.m. when Shaun texted me that he was on his way home, it was snowing so badly you could barely see the building next door! Gotta love this crazy weather!

Continuing on with our series on content marketing, today’s read talks about understanding your audience so that you know how to create good, useful, and engaging content for them.

Today’s Read: 6 Keys To Understanding Your Audience

It’s easy to build a website and products and put them up for sale. In fact, that’s probably the easiest part of building your business online. The hard work is figuring out your audience, who they are, and where they hang out online. That’s the most important piece of the puzzle when it comes to creating amazing, engaging, and useful content. 

To start figuring that out I’ve got 6 key points for understanding your audience, so that you know exactly who you’re creating for.

1. Understanding Your Audience Demographics

This is the very basic knowledge you need to determine your audiences needs – Male, female, non-binary, gender fluid – Who are you creating your content for?

Other things you’ll want to know are how much they earn, where do they live, relationship status, likes and dislikes. What you need to know will depend on your niche, but you need a basic starting point to develop a customer avatar for your business.

Tip: If you already have sold products and or services then look at your analytics get a handle on your audience demographics.

I’m so stinkin’ excited about the possibilities this opens up for creating new products with this linking structure.

The planners are on launch pricing until March 7, so get ‘em while they’re hot!
