[EzineArticles] "Who Is My Audience?!" Top 7 Steps to Discovering Your Ideal Audience

"Who Is My Audience?!" Top 7 Steps to Discovering Your Ideal Audience EzineArticles.com Logo

"Stop wasting your time writing articles your audience isn't interested in. Build exposure, increase credibility, and create incredible value for yourself and your audience by writing articles your audience wants to read and share."

Sounds reasonable, right?

You sit down, ready to channel your value into an article, but there's a catch ... you don't know who your audience is!

Use these tips to discover who your audience is and how you can open the door to new audiences.

Top 7 Steps to Find Your Ideal Audience

1. Who Are They?

From family to customers or clients, identify each segment of your current audience.

2. Who Do You Want?

Identify new segments that you ideally want to add to your current audience. Consider their obstacles or their needs that prevent them from deepening their involvement with your platform.

3. Create Profiles

Create a persona for each of your audience segments. Consider demographics, hobbies, professions, needs, wants, troubles, knowledge, perceptions, and common goals. Identify what value you're able to tailor to each segment.

4. Find the Hard Truths

Ask, survey, etc. Find out what attracts your current audience to your platform and what's holding your ideal audience back. Is it not knowing everything that's available to them? Is it because they don't think it's for them?

5. Join Your Audience

Research, network, and subscribe. Gain a strong footing in your niche by understanding how others in your niche are engaging with their audience. Identify the buzz they create, what they write about, and how they engage with their audience (e.g., social networks, newsletters, tweets of recently published articles, etc.).

6. Engage, Engage, Engage!

Start engaging, commenting, and writing useful content that solves problems, answers questions, and overall provide interesting topics that are being sought out by your audience.

7. Uncover Search Terms

Use your 5 Traffic Search Terms to find out how your current audience is searching for you as well as how new audience members find you! Continue refining these terms to write new articles as you work to find and refine your audience.

"Knowledge is power."

Knowing the above top 7 tips will help you strategically plan all aspects of your platform, not just article writing. Consider who you are, how you create unique value for each segment of your audience, and what informative solutions you can offer for their benefit. Give your efforts power with these tips to deepen your current audience's involvement, increase and diversify their participation, foster their loyalty, as well as open the door to new audiences.

[EzineArticles] Increase Your Exposure and Traffic with Prewritten Titles

Increase Your Exposure and Traffic with Prewritten Titles EzineArticles.com Logo

Do Your Titles Speak to Readers?

Your article says volumes about your expertise, as it rightly should. After all, who knows better than you what your niche is about? But what about your title? Does it merely whisper of the content that your article delivers, or does it catch your reader's attention and immediately highlight what's already on their inquiring mind?

When you sit down to write, think about what your audience is looking for. You already have the meat of your content ready to display in your article; your job now is to show them what you're serving up with a clear picture of what they're about to digest. Your title should be the tasty morsel that will have them exclaiming "love at first bite!"

Why Your Titles Are Important

With information bombarding us every day, everyone's used to filtering out derivative content. Your readers are choosy in their quest for good, juicy tidbits of info. They want content that's unique and can deliver on their behalf. Your title needs to "stand up" so to speak since your audience is constantly sending out a call to attention to you, the Expert Author. You have the opportunity to assert yourself and your brand, and your title is the first impression you make; no one gets a do over.

Points to Remember With Your Title

  • Avoid spammy, keyword stuffed titles. A title that's grammatically correct will reach your reader much better than one that's bogged down with junk.
     
  • What's your point? Is it dull or sharp? Try to express in as few words as possible what your article is about. The first few words your reader sees will determine whether they continue on to view your content or simply pass up your article.
     
  • Tell the truth. Being poked with Pinocchio's nose hurts; so don't do it with your title. Deliver on your title's promise and build trust with your audience.
     
  • Be clear and transparent. Is your title squeaky clean or is it cluttered? Don't trip up your reader with a confusing title.

Need Help? Save Writing Time and Get Optimized Title Suggestions

Let's face it, ideas don't always fall from the sky into your lap. If you're having a tough time coming up with a title, or just need some ideas, prewritten titles can help you save time and gain exposure. In your My.EzineArticles.com account, you will find Title Suggestions within the Write & Edit tab. Written by our title writing team, these titles are based on top searched keywords and phrases as well as the thoughts and questions currently trending in your niche.

Don't believe the Title Suggestions will work for you? Meet Expert Author Janet Alston Jackson, who told us about how she found success with her Title Suggestions:

"... I gained instant traffic to my website, people joining my list, and a potential huge contract because of the suggested titles from the EzineArticles Writing Team. I am using these suggestions weekly so I don't have to guess what people are looking for. Over the years since I have been writing for Ezine Articles (2008), I may have gotten four hits on a title in a week. When I tried a suggested title from EzineArticles, "How to De-Stress After an Argument," I got 18 hits in one day from the EzineArticles site and 20 on my personal blog. Almost 40 views just in one day.

"I knew article writing was the key for me to market, but I just wasn't getting the traffic. Now I am FIRED UP!!! Way to go EzineArticles!!! I feel you are part of my team."

Click here to find titles that will not only help to optimize the subject of your article, but also inspire future ones!

[EzineArticles] Flex Your Writing Muscles To Give Your Article Portfolio Strength

Flex Your Writing Muscles To Give Your Article Portfolio Strength EzineArticles.com Logo

Tips to Get Back on Track With Your Goals to Build Exposure and Increase Traffic

Did you set out to make a "fresh start" because the new year was the "perfect time" to improve upon some area of your life? For most of us, we resolve to become more fit whether it be through cardio or strength training. However, a couple weeks in, some of us fall back into the good old comfortable standby: laziness. Why? Well, it's just easier that way and who's watching?

As an Expert Author, this situation can be all too familiar. The new year gave you a "fresh start" which was the "perfect time" to make goals: write more articles, build exposure, and increase traffic back to your blog or website. However, with each passing week, is your article portfolio expanding or is it stagnating? Staying on track isn't always a smooth ride; it takes dedication.

Top 7 Insider Tips to Get Back on Track

Rekindle your motivation to build exposure with quality, original articles and get closer to achieving your resolutions with writing "strength" training:

  • Inspiration: A couch potato is the only vegetable that's not good for you. They shouldn't be allowed in a gym or at your writing desk. Some people have buddies or workout partners to motivate them. What "buddy" do you use to motivate you to write? Is it music? Maybe meditation? Or even reading the local or world news on various websites? Find your motivation to gain fodder to incorporate into your newest article. Whatever it takes, run with it and write with it!
     
  • Stretch: Athletes know for certain it's important to stretch before exercise - your flexibility and circulation improves, along with balance and coordination. Stretch your knowledge by researching current trends in your niche. Embrace the flow of ideas and start writing!
     
  • Form: The best bodybuilder will tell you that form is crucial in executing the perfect lift. Can your article say the same? From the top of your title, all through your article body, and down to your resource box, be sure all the important quality markers are there to support the content you're delivering. Is it attention grabbing? Is it filled to the brim with quality? Is it chock full of informative value?
     
  • Stance: After you've exhausted your breath with the last rep you did, are you shaky or confident? As a writer, you've written your last word; now think about how your article stands. Is it positioned correctly for your niche? Stand tall with ALL of your knowledge, not just some of it. After all, you're the expert!
     
  • Intervals: Interval training, alternating between running and jogging, can be intense, but incredibly rewarding because it requires all of your effort. When it comes to your writing, the intensity you put into your efforts can be just as rewarding. Show off what you know. Flesh out your expertise, don't tease it out by laying it on the table for your readers to see. You've worked hard for it!
     
  • Nutrition: A boxer needs the proper diet to perform the fancy footwork that's needed in the ring, otherwise his opponent will have a clear advantage. Proteins, fruits and veggies, grains, and plenty of liquids are important to keep him moving efficiently. Sluggishness happens to all of us. Ask yourself, "what can I improve?" What you put in your body also affects how your mind functions. How about a healthy dose of caffeine before you write? A clear thought process is needed to pack a punch.
     
  • Hydration: Who can forget this one? You're not going to get very far in a marathon without hydrating to fuel your efforts - in fact, you will stumble and fall. Likewise, when you've finished your article, proofread diligently to be sure what you've written is just as fluid and delivers your message without any embarrassing hiccups.

Either get back on track with your efforts or start now by resolving to build exposure and increase traffic with article writing. There is no time like the present: Keep on task with your writing efforts, give your articles a well rounded "workout," and watch your portfolio grow to become one that comes with all the bragging rights it deserves.

How do you stay motivated in your efforts? What do you do to give your article portfolio strength and flex your writing muscles? Click here to share your comments - we'd love to hear from you!

[EzineArticles] Facebook Gives Link Love: More Real Estate for Links and What it Means for You

Facebook Gives Link Love: More Real Estate for Links and What it Means for You EzineArticles.com Logo

Did you notice Facebook's update to posts featuring links in your news feed?

Previously, links posted on Facebook featured a 90 pixels x 90 pixels preview image and brief summary. Now, images have been upgraded to an enormous 154 pixels x 154 pixels and a longer link summary.

What does this mean for you?

When fighting for real estate on your audience's Facebook news feed, more real estate is now given to links in order to help better serve users and help you reach your audience.

What does this mean?

  • Facebook's link love increases balance between link, status, photo, and video posts for enhanced user experience.
  • Photos can be shared as PHOTOS instead of conduits of links (if you think the photo linking was working, let's be frank: links on photos were rarely clicked).
  • Your exposure and user engagement is amplified by directing friends and followers to your articles or website.

Here are two essential keys to bear in mind in order to take advantage of Facebook's link love update:

1. Your Expert Author Profile Photo

For your articles published on EzineArticles, Facebook link previews will feature your Expert Author Profile photo with a snippet of your article summary. Ensure these photos are at least 154 pixels tall; e.g., an author image that is 160 pixels x 240 pixels meets the requirement.

Don't believe us? Check out the image below for the difference between the following shared links featuring separate articles by Doris Chow (first photo below: 160px × 240px) and Leah Fisch (second photo below: 150px × 150px).

Haven't uploaded your Expert Author Profile photo or would like to update your existing photo?

  1. Log into your My.EzineArticles.com account.
  2. Select the Profile tab, and then select Edit Image.
  3. Select Upload New Image and select the image you would like to use from your computer.
  4. If necessary, crop area or rotate the photo.
  5. Once you're satisfied with your Profile Photo, select Save.*

*All photos are subject to an editorial review process to ensure validity and uphold the member's credibility.

2. Your Blog or Website Should Be Facebook Ready

For non-EzineArticles links, like your blog or website, ensure the site includes images larger than 154 pixels x 154 pixels in your Open Graph tags to take advantage of the larger preview format. Any images smaller than this will be not be given prominence in the user's Facebook news feed. Not familiar with Open Graph? Facebook's Open Graph allows web developers to integrate their platform with the Facebook platform; e.g., Like Button. For more information about Open Graph, click here.

Take advantage of this great way to increase engagement with your audience AND your exposure. Give yourself a little link love by ensuring your author photo is at least 154 pixels tall and your website provides a 154 pixels x 154 pixels image for your Facebook links.

Bruce Kaler M.D. "... establish your voice and brand ..."

The marketing principle of giving away of something of value for free in order to sell something else, resonated with me. It is also a way to establish your voice and brand in a more structured professional manner than typical social media i.e. Facebook, Twitter, et al. They have their place and are useful to an author/writer. However, the growth of the internet creates a huge demand for quality content. I still think the key is to write "quality content". If it is well written, accessible, and of timely interest to people it will get plenty of attention. EzineArticles is a wonderful reservoir of good content on many topics.
