Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the complianz-gdpr
domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init
action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /customers/8/9/1/creativelycontenting.com/httpd.www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114

The success of a podcast depends on many factors, but none more important than identifying and understanding your target audience. We spoke a bit about this in last week\u2019s blog on <\/span>starting a podcast<\/span><\/a> but I believe it is so important it deserves its own post.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Why is this so important? Read our blog post about <\/span>why having a target audience is key<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n By knowing who you are speaking to, you can create content that is tailored to their interests and needs. In this post, we will go over the steps you can take to identify your target audience and ensure your podcast is a hit.<\/span><\/p>\n The first step in identifying your target audience is to determine your niche. This means defining the topic or theme of your podcast. The more specific and unique your niche, the easier it will be to attract and retain listeners who are interested in that specific topic.<\/span><\/p>\n Once you have determined your niche, research other podcasts that cover similar topics. Take note of their target audience and see if there are any gaps or areas where you can differentiate yourself. This research can help you gain a better understanding of your target audience and what they are looking for in a podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next, think about who your potential audience might be and make a list of their demographic information, including age, gender, location, interests, and profession. This information can help you understand the values, needs, and desires of your target audience and tailor your content accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n To make this as specific as possible you can create a user persona. Use the <\/span>free Creatively Contenting user persona template<\/span><\/a> on Canva<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you already have listeners, reach out to them and ask for their feedback. Find out what they like and dislike about your podcast, and ask what they would like to see in future episodes. This information can help you refine your target audience and create content that is more appealing to them.<\/span><\/p>\n This is something you should do regularly, updating your user persona to match your listeners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDetermine your niche<\/span><\/h2>\n
Research your competitors audiences\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
Analyse your potential audience<\/span><\/h2>\n
Ask your current audience who they are\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
Utilise social media to identify your target audience\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
