Cracking the Code: How to Create Content That Connects
Howdy!
If you are back for another blog, I am glad you are here.
If this is your first time, I am truly honored!
Let me start by being upfront with you – I’m not a professional writer. I am a marketer and connector of people who writes about things I am interested in or have helped me in the past. So, please forgive me if you come across a run-on sentence or a comma splice here and there. But my hope is you’ll find some valuable information here, so let’s go!
Most content writers will tell you the first step in creating content that resonates with your audience is to identify who you’re writing for.
They’re right! And there are many ways to do this, such as surveys, focus groups, or social media analytics. By gathering information on your audience’s demographics, psychographics, or behavior, you can gain a better understanding of who they are and what they want.
“If you don’t know who your customers are, you don’t know your business.” – Marcus Lemonis
Discover Your Audience’s Desires and Needs
Identifying your target audience is just the first step. To create content that resonates, you need to understand their needs and wants. Dive deep into their problems, work to uncover the solutions they are looking for, and figure out what motivates them to take action.
“Your customers are the the lifeblood of your business. Their needs and wants impact every aspect of your organization, from product development to customer service.” – Gary V
Craft content that caters to your audience’s desires and needs. If you can provide valuable information and solutions, you can establish trust and build a relationship with your audience.
Tailoring Your Content to Your Audience
Ok, so we have honed in on our clients’ wants, needs and desires. Now, it’s time to create content that really connects with them. This means tailoring our message to meet their specific needs and interests, using the right tone and style, and delivering it in the format they prefer (whether it’s blogs, podcasts, memes, or something else entirely).
But here’s the thing – while you want your content to resonate with your audience, you also want it to reflect who you are. Authenticity is key when building relationships. So, don’t lose your voice, your personality, your quirks in the process. You must strike a balance between what your audience wants and who you are as a brand.
Your key takeaways
- Identify your target audience
- Understand their needs and wants
- Tailor your content to their specific needs
- Be true to your brand (personally or professionally)
