We understand it helps us create a real brand. One that is not propped up by paid advertising. Instead we have a real audience who choose to engage with us, choose to consume our content, because we are giving them things of real value.

If we truly understand our buyer personas, what are their needs, challenges and goals, we can deliver content that will be really valuable to them.

So valuable that they will do things like ask to be willingly added to email lists so they can get it delivered straight to their inbox

The REALITY is, our customers don’t want to feel part of a crowd.

They’re don’t see themselves as a metric in our marketing funnel.

45

They face different challenges, have different requirements and are at different stages of the buying cycle.

So our generic, 1 size fits all, marketing simply doesn’t appeal to them.

We need to think about how we can move away from marketing to the crowd and towards market to an audience of 1.

Exercise for you to do – go through all the pages on your website and pretend you are the persona of the customers you wish to attract and ask the question – “so what?” for everything that is on your site. If you cannot answer this question in relation to how you help your persona then take it down.
