Write for People, Not Platforms: How to Build a Loyal Audience


Listen Later

In this quick episode, I'm exploring why you should focus on writing blog posts for your readers instead of just for Google or Pinterest. Here's why this shift is so important:

Connect with Your Ideal Reader:

  • Writing for your readers builds loyalty and engagement.
  • Focus on their challenges, interests, and questions to make your content valuable.
  • Loyal readers are more likely to share your posts, driving organic growth.

Try a Balanced Approach:

  • If you publish often, experiment with different types of posts: one for Google, one for Pinterest, and one for your ideal reader.
  • See what performs best and adjust your strategy based on what resonates.

Use a Conversational Tone:

  • Start posts like you're writing an email to a friend, making your content feel more personal.
  • Share stories and experiences to build a deeper connection with your audience.

Why It Works:

  • Writing for real people creates better engagement, which helps improve your SEO over time too!
