How to Define Your Audience<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that you know how important it is to define your audience when writing Kindle eBooks, you may be wondering how to accomplish this.<\/p>\n

Start out by asking yourself the question: To whom am I writing this eBook?<\/p>\n

To help you figure out the answer to this question, here are a few tips.<\/strong><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tip #1 \u2013 Defining Demographics<\/strong> \u2013 First, you need to define the demographics of your target audience. Demographic information is very basic information, such as age, gender and household income. When planning who your audience will be, some demographic statistics you may want to consider include age, employment status, gender, marital status, income levels and whether they have children. If you\u2019re writing an eBook on anti-aging skin care, you may want to target a female audience over the age of 40.<\/span><\/p>\n

In what country are they located? Are you only writing to people in the <\/span>United States<\/span>? If you want to reach a broader audience, you can keep your geographic audience pretty wide. However, if you want to write eBooks on birds in the <\/span>United States<\/span>, you\u2019ll be working to reach a geographic location that is quite specific.<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tip #3 \u2013 Psychographic Profiling<\/strong> \u2013 Before writing Kindle eBooks, you also should do some psychographic profiling when trying to define a target audience. This type of profiling looks at interests, lifestyles, attitudes, personality and values. Gathering this information will help you to hone in even further on the customers you will be targeting. Characteristics like \u201cdog owner,\u201d \u201chas family values,\u201d \u201ccost conscious,\u201d or \u201cenjoys working out on a regular basis\u201d are all things that it\u2019s important to know when determining who you should be writing to.<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tip #4 \u2013 Patterns of Behavior<\/strong> \u2013 Last, know how your audience behaves. This is referring to the patterns and behaviors of your target consumer. Do they research services and products on the web? What sites do they visit on a regular basis? Do they use social networking? Are they online shoppers? Do they clip coupons? All this behavioral information can influence their purchasing habits.<\/span><\/p>\n
