Sure knowing your audience leads to better writing, really if you want your visitors to use or buy your service, you need to focus on their needs and desires.

Exactly, Donna. People focus too much on providing content that they forget that they content can’t just repeat what people have already said.

I covered this in my blog post The Golden Rule For Writing Stellar Content and always remind my blogging clients and friends that content doesn’t mean much if it isn’t truly unique, and not just “in your own words”.

“Actually, this should be fairly simple. To satisfy your target audience even more, you’re going to need to think of them when you’re writing.”

Agreed! The catch is knowing who your target audience is. All we have sometimes is our server stats to go on for traffic.

That’s really good advice! I’ve never thought of using twitter to determine your audience base. Thanks!

I’m assuming that the like button is for Facebook, so if you’re active on Facebook and want to please the people who like your content further, why not? Just don’t get to carried away, since you’ve only got 3 people clicking the “like” button on your content. Just pick the largest “demographic” (like businesses, other bloggers, etc.) in your blog community and roll with it.

How do you find out who is the target audience for beginners? I have a few people (3) that are clicking the like button for my posts. I suppose that is a good start. Do I start with these 3 people?

You make really good points.

One thing I would say is that sometimes, people discover that the people who are reading and promoting their content are not their target market. The challenge then is to make an effort to start tailoring your writing to the true intended audience while at the same time retaining blogging buddies.

My advice is to do so over-time. It might mean fewer comments for awhile, and less sharing, but it’s all in effort to really serve the ones your blog is intended to serve.

I agree with you, DiTesco… I guess it depends if the blogger’s purpose is to monetize his content, then he might need blog on topics that follow a certain “trend”.

Personally, I blog on topics that I’m good at which can be very technical to some, so I choose my crowd who share the same interests and who I can possibly educate.
