Reader Profile!

Your reader profile is so important for creating content because you know the WHO you are talking to, WHAT you want to say and the WHY they need your help. It makes your content more relatable, targeted and readable. How you choose to do this can be personal to you, but here are some ideas:

  • Draw Reader avatars, you can draw as many as you want that you are targeting through your content. However, do not have too many as this will confuse you and create the opposite effect.
  • Detail everything that they feel, think, do, and are interested in. The problems they face and opinions they have so you understand their every thought and feeling
  • Being specific also helps you understand your audience, this includes age, gender, where they live and what they do.
  • Be their best friend that you know in and out and can be relied upon for help and advice.

Keyword Research

Keyword research is so important for SEO but it is also a great starting place for creating content. You can carry out keyword research using a seed word to find long-tail keyword suggestions, but what do you do with it then? 

Brainstorm ideas of how this keyword can be used in your content. Think of ways it will be used in queries from your target audience and further ideas. You can form multiple content topic ideas and pathways from one keyword!

Anecdotes

You want to capture your audience’s attention and what better way than through stories? They may be personal stories. fictional stories, stories from those that you admire that you can captivate your readers. Not only does an anecdote captivate your readers, but they can also connect with them in other ways that general content might not.

Passion

Are you creating content about something you actually believe in and want to share with your audience? If you’re not you could burn out from trying to talk about something that doesn’t hold your own interest. When you are passionate about what you are creating, you will also come across inspiration every day. This is your unique perspective and will help you create interesting and creative content.
