Let’s talk about target audience, because this is where a lot of marketing starts to feel frustrating.
Most people don’t actually have a consistency problem. They’re showing up, posting, talking about what they do. The real issue is that the message is landing in front of people who aren’t ready or aren’t the right fit, so it feels like you’re doing all this work and nothing’s coming back.
When people hear “know your audience,” they usually think demographics. Age, gender, location. That stuff matters a little, but it’s not what moves the needle.
What really matters is understanding what your people are dealing with in their real life. What’s already bothering them. What they complain about casually. What they Google when no one’s watching. Most people don’t search for solutions, they search for symptoms.
That’s why someone can read your content, nod along, and still not take action. You’re answering a question they haven’t asked yet.
This is also why visibility alone doesn’t equal results. You can be seen by thousands of people and still feel invisible if the right people don’t recognize themselves in what you’re saying.
Good marketing isn’t about convincing people they need you. It’s about making the right person feel like, “Oh… this is for me.” When that happens, trust builds naturally and the education starts to land.
A simple way to check this: when someone reads your post, do they feel seen? Or do they feel like they’re watching from the outside?
If you get clear on who you’re really talking to, everything else, content, platforms, even consistency, gets easier.
So, when you’re creating content, who do you picture reading it?
