This blog entry was posted on January 13, 2008.
Identifying and connecting with your readership is vital to the success in blog marketing. Who are your best prospects? Focus on your target audience. This allows you to address their goals and interests. Writing about these subjects, from different angles and with captivating storylines will convert more followers.
Identifying Your Target
Who are you trying to reach? What niche market are you going after? Your blog audience tends to be different than your typical customer. Blog readers tend to be more knowledgeable, more technical and more up to date on the latest developments. They read multiple blogs to stay up to date. It is important to plan and write to attract only those readers.
What to write about?
What is it that your selected audience wants to read about? Choose a topic that your ideal prospect wants to read about.
If you were a seller of baby furniture and you want to reach first time parents, then you may want to write about naming a baby. This way you reach your targeted readers at about the same time they are buying baby furniture. Of course you would have links on your blog to your baby furniture website.
Conversational tone
Writing should be informal, honest and conversational. Blogs give your readers a glimpse of your personality. You should use terms, phrases and even colloquialisms that they will recognize. Your postings should build trust. Your objective is to connect with your readers so they will return and ultimately contact you when they need what you have to offer
No matter how intriguing your subject, how well written the posting, if you fail to reach your audience, you have missed your target.
