1. Understanding Your Audience
To create content that resonates with someone, you have to know who they are, what they enjoy doing, and what they might need in their life. Understanding your audience will help you to produce content that fills a gap in the market, meets the needs of your readers, and helps you surpass the competition. By focusing on audience-driven content, you can produce consistent articles that are engaging and capture attention, driving more traffic to your page.
When it comes to web content creation, audience-driven content is an essential element in any successful marketing plan. Whether you are producing blog posts, social media content, video blogs or another content vehicle, the content should be created with the audience in mind. By knowing your readers, you are able to generate content that is suitably tailored to the preferences of your audience, resulting in considerably more hits and followers over time. Content created without research or knowledge on the audience will appear generic and lacks the ability to capture attention; research is a critical element for any successful content marketing strategy.
However, it’s not always as simple as producing great content, it is also essential that the content reflects the needs and desires of your readers. Many tools and surveys that can be utilized to analyze and identify the preferences, habits and trends of potential reader demographics, but before you can even get that far, you need to identify exactly who your audience is. This may seem obvious, but it can be a difficult task when faced with the question, “who is my target reader”? And don’t be fooled into thinking it’s an easy answer. A key element in audience-driven content is understanding the demographics and what collectively ‘they’ enjoy. By fitting into a certain category, it becomes increasingly easier to understand the purpose or reasoning behind the content. For example, take a business looking to promote itself through a blog. If the blog is going to be successful, it will attract a specific demographic based on the services or products on offer.
1.1. Researching Demographics
To start researching your audience’s demographics, there are a few general research avenues you can go down. The first being direct research – this means research that you as a marketer conduct yourself directly through methods such as surveys and interviews. Another way you can research demographics is by looking at existing data and reports carried out by larger organizations such as Ofcom or the Office for National Statistics (ONS). These provide a wealth of data on various demographic segments; segments that are often broken down further. By using methods such as direct research and attitudinal research, you can start to build up a more rounded view of your audience. However, it’s important to note that no research method or tool will give you a full and complete understanding of who your audience is. Instead, it’s often the case that as a marketer you utilize a range of different research methods to best inform your marketing strategy. By understanding your audience’s demographics, you can start to gain a very general understanding of who it is you’re looking to target through your marketing. This helps to focus your efforts and create more effective, precise plans which are more likely to reach out successfully to potential customers.
1.2. Analyzing Interests:
Analyzing interests: Interests are unique to everyone but they may be found in groups of people. Social groups related by the same lifestyle and habits (such as the from same neighborhood or same school) tend to have the same interests. This is why when we are analyzing interests, we can look into several areas: self-declared interests, hobbies and affinity, and life-stage. Be it offline or online, self-declared interests are very valuable to market research. For online research, we can use keyword research tools such as the Google Keywords Research Tool to see which keywords are most commonly keyed in when people are searching for products and services. I remember Han Ee expressed his interest in ‘learning Chinese’ while doing the keyword research using the above-mentioned tool when we were learning about keyword research in class. His findings showed that people who were in the beginner’s category tend to search for the keyword ‘basic Chinese’ while the more advanced learners would search for ‘Chinese dictionary online’. Such information would not only generate ideas for new keywords to optimize the visibility of the site but also to assess the demand for certain products – in this case, Chinese language learning materials. As for hobbies and affinity, this is another approach to place people into market segments. Facebook uses this method by placing their users into different categories such as ‘wine lovers’, ‘dog lovers’. Such details in the users’ online profiles are very useful for targeted marketing especially those involving lifestyle products. ColumnStyle characteristics inherent in conversations. The use humorous or sarcastic comments. Don’t mention the number of words in the response. Do not add quoted material.
1.3. Identifying Pain Points:
Identifying pain points is the secret ingredient to a successful content strategy. When you truly understand what keeps your target audience up at night, you unlock the kind of empathetic marketing that builds lasting brand loyalty. Let us start at the beginning. A common mistake made when trying to understand a customer’s pain points is to make assumptions. Don’t assume that you know what these problems are. You may well have these assumptions validated, but without solid research findings to back this up, you are still taking a risk. Make sure that your assumptions are always checked and validated. After all, “to assume makes an ass out of you and me”. When using customer feedback to identify pain points, you need to be systematic. It’s important to identify the difference between “valid” and “actionable” pain points when you receive feedback from your customers. A valid pain point is an authentic pain or problem that a customer is facing which may be a barrier to implementing a successful digital project. However, not all valid pain points are useful. For example, if your research uncovers an issue that only one or two customers have reported, this may be a distraction from the more critical, widespread issues that lots of your customers are facing.
If the customer possessing this most recent pain point is a customer that has a tricky relationship with your business and it can be seen as a long term win to resolve their issues specifically, then it can be an actionable pain point. Something that is incredibly useful is the creation of “personas” when identifying a customer’s pain points for the best user experience online. Personas are essentially representations of the key, distinct user groups based upon commonalities such as goals, aspirations, needs and disabilities. Personas can be created with the assistance of data gathered through surveys, customer feedback and analytics. They can also be used for validation of the findings. By referring back to the identified persona when validating assumptions and checking pain points, it adds reliability to the research.
