5 questions to ask your audience so you can create targeted content that lands
When creating offers, content and messaging for your ideal client, you can get stuck using the "expert" language, rather than using language that resonates with them. It's easy to *think* you know what your audience needs from you, but actually *asking* them is much more effective (and eliminates the guess work!). In today's episode, I'm sharing the 5 questions I ask my audience so that I can create great, targeted content for them.
- How researching your audience can give you so many ideas and why it's important to entice responses from them and then evaluate their answers.
- How uncovering their problems highlights the disconnect in your messaging while also offering valuable content material.
- The benefit of identifying the end game for your ideal client (and the hidden inspiration this can offer).
- How drilling down the obstacles (real and imagined) will help you to see what's holding your audience back.

Customer Reviews
Steph always delivers
I like her great content and easy listening style of presentation.
Love This!
I love Steph Taylor’s podcast. I use the title of her podcast, as my “mantra,” every time I need to take action and I start overthinking or doubting myself - Imperfect Action! I have gotten so much great business tips, especially for when you’re just getting started!
Must listen if you run a biz
I listened to Steph Taylor in an online conference and downloaded her Messy Middle freebie, which put me on her email list. I started listen to some of the podcasts shared via email, and realized I may as well subscribe because each ep has been so valuable. She talks about a lot of stuff people don't about what it really takes to run any kind of business, not just one that's online.
