One of the most crucial parts of any type of writing comes from analyzing your audience. If you do not cater to your readers, your writing will not be interesting and will not apply to them. 3 different ways you can do this are listed below:
1. You should always make sure your readers can connect with what you are writing. You can do this in several ways, depending on your audience. The writer should know what the audience's interests and goals are.
2. You should aways get a second opinion on your writing. Whether you have a family member or friend look at it, or ask for feedback from others, it is always good to get another person's thoughts and comments about what you have written before you make it public. This prevents a bias from you, grammar mistakes, and spelling mistakes.
3. You should always have knowledge about the topic you are writing on. When you are writing on a subject, your readers will usually know how interested and knowledgeable you are on that subject. The point of analyzing your readers is to be able to write specifically to them and show them the knowledge that you have on a specific topic.

Good Tips Michelle! I agree, a second opinion is always a good idea. As the writer, simple spelling/grammer and even factual mistakes can make you look less educated on your topic in the audiences eyes.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that in the past I’ve done some writing on topics that I’ve had no knowledge of, and at the end of the day it showed. With so many resources available in this day and age it is important to utilize them, as you say to reach that target audience. I think you did a great job in covering the important parts of writing to an audience. The only critique I can make is that the word “always” is misspelled on bulletin number two. Otherwise it was very informative.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! I like the numerical layout of your post. Proofreading and being knowledgeable in what you are writing about are definitely important.
ReplyDeleteYou provided some very good tips in this blog. To make it stronger, you could have provided some examples on how to connect with your readers for your first tip. Also, your third point was a little repetitive. Great job on your first post, it was well organized!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michele! This is a great first post, you kept it very concise but at the same time added a ton of useful information!
ReplyDeletemore voice needed....blog writing isn't academic writing...you need to tell your stories in addition to giving information
ReplyDeleteYou need to label your subject heading to include your first name and the first initial of your last name.
You also need a graphic for your post or an embedded video.
