Defining Your Audience Beyond Demographics
Many podcasters make the mistake of defining their audience solely by demographics such as age and gender. This approach often leads to a generalized understanding of the audience that fails to capture the nuances of who they are actually trying to reach. For instance, a podcaster might claim their audience is women over 40 seeking personal brand authority, but this definition could overlook younger listeners who also align with their content. A more effective method is to define audiences based on psychographics, focusing on their desires, pain points, and aspirations, which provides a clearer picture of who will truly benefit from the content.
