Thought of the Day #1/2023
Who Are You Writing For?
How to find your audience
When I got interested in writing online, I found a lot of advice online.
- Think about your main audience.
- Define who you are writing for.
- Research your audience's needs.
- Write in the tone and style your audience likes reading.
- Stay in your niche.
- Don't switch from topic to topic.
- Write every day.
- Have fixed publishing times so your audience gets used to it.
So much advice and I was overwhelmed. There is so much I need to figure out first before it makes to start an online blog.
I like topics like entrepreneurship and investing. But do I have an audience?
And who is the audience in the first place?
Overwhelmed with questions like the above, I never got it started. Sure, I posted here and there on Twitter or Instagram; but since I didn't find the ultimate plan for my writing endeavor, I postponed the start repeatedly.
Then came March 2020 — and I believe everybody remembers what happened. The entire West went on lockdown.
