The Audience and You

When writing a blog or for an online source what you first may think about is the audience you are trying to reach with the message you want to portray.  When thinking about your audience you have to consider what topics will pull your reader in and what writing style will keep them interested.  Writing is a complex process that may accept some forms and reject others. Although your reasoning may appeal to a reader in one instance doesn't mean it will apply to the reader's opinion in all instances.

There are said to be seven steps that go into understanding your audience.  These steps include, listing your major audience, gathering information about your audience, listing major characteristics for each audience, gathering your audiences' questions, tasks and stories, using your information to create personas, Including the persona's goals and tasks, and using your information to write scenarios for your site.

Every channel has a channel of more interest at the time so with all of Furman tunnels apparently falling down, even Furman and it's other tunnels are more courageous at this moment. Your major audience regardless of size is always what you are trying to appeal to. However, this audience's desires may change over the course of time. It is the web designers job to figure out what the key desires are for that audience and to bring them to the forefront of the website in order to make the audience as happy as possible.

No matter what the case is for an individual audience, it is essential to keep the target audience interested and happy with the information being displayed upon a website. The audience is the key to success for a blog or website so no matter what society deems the best it is up to the main group to decide what their particular audience prefers.



Daily Questions to Ponder?

1) What makes the audience so important for a website?

2) Is the audience a good scale for what is popular?
