As an entrepreneur who uses multi-channels like blogging, social media, and podcasting to connect and engage with your audience, being strategic in growing your audience reach and exposing your brand to more people is vital to your overall growth.
So how do you grow your audience and grow your business?
Here are a few tips for setting you up for success.
Define your target audience. This step is essential. Think about your audience’s interests, and tailor your content to appeal to them.
Create high-quality content. Of course, you may think that the content you’re putting out there is of high quality, but it could be falling flat. Hiring professionals from writers to voice-over actors for your podcast to on-screen talent and more is something you should consider.
If you’re considering hiring out talent, you can go more traditional, like using a talent agency that has a stable of people they hire out. But, if that’s something that interests you, you want to know about the talent casting process before signing off.
Often, talent casting is simple but tedious.
A producer looks through a database for a set type of actor and hires them for the job. More innovative ways include immediately customizing your needs and having results match the exact type of actor or creative need you are looking for.
Another casting option is to create job posts on sites like Fiverr or other job boards that provide platforms for entrepreneurs and creatives to connect.
Your content is the key to attracting and retaining an audience. So make sure it is well-written, informative, and engaging, and hiring professionals will help you publish and produce high-quality content.
Know your audience. Ask yourself who you’re writing for. Ask about their interests and what they need to know, and you can tailor your content to appeal to them.
Knowing your audience is almost as important as the quality of your content. You may miss the mark if you’re trying to sell digital products that simplify a process for healthcare professionals but are producing dance videos. Or not, if they’re a creative, catchy way of creating content that your audience may enjoy.
Be original. The content you produce should be unique, and that is something your audience would like to consume.
For example, there are stories of real estate agents using TikTok to make catchy dance videos to market their listings or services. Still, the key is creating original content to know your audience and what they may want to consume.
Of course, it’s essential to produce your content and avoid plagiarism.
Be clear and concise. Making engaging content should also serve a purpose, and the best strategy is for your content to be easy to consume, read, and understand.
Use simple language and avoid jargon.
Be relevant. As you create compelling content, whether a podcast, blog post, or video, you must provide information pertinent to your audience’s interests. Make sure it addresses the topics they are interested in.
If you’re trying to be the next Tony Robbins, you don’t want to produce a podcast on Fantasy Football. The two are different industries and concepts your audience probably wouldn’t be interested in consuming.
But a podcast can be extremely significant to growing your business and expanding your audience if done correctly. Just make sure the content is relevant.
Be consistent. Your content should be consistent in tone, style, and format. You want to publish content at the same time every day, week, or month so that your audience knows when to look for new stuff from you.
Think about your content like a TV show. Shows have an air date so the audience knows when to look for the show so they can enjoy and consume the entertainment. This will help your audience to understand what to expect from your work.
Partner with other businesses. Partnering with other companies is a great way to reach a new audience. For example, you can co-host events, create joint marketing campaigns, or even share content.
Most people think that TV was created to entertain and inform. The reality is that TV shows are produced to consider as a vehicle to get to the advertisers’ message. Initially, advertisers sponsored the TV programs, including products placed within the show.
Consider partnering with other businesses to promote their products or for paid placements of their ads, content, and products.
