What is the main focus of audience engagement?
Hey, Young Improfiters, welcome to episode five of the Yap Creator Series presented by Opus Clip. In this series, we're diving deep into the art and science of content creation, how to create, connect, and thrive as a modern day content creator. Today, we're going deep into something that every content creator should master, understanding and adapting to audience preferences.
How can understanding your audience drive content success?
This is the heartbeat of effective content creation, the foundation of building a loyal, engaged community that feels connected to you and your brand. In this episode, I'll break down why analyzing audience behavior is so critical, and I'll give you actionable strategies to help you understand your audience and their preferences better. We'll feature podcast guests like Ken Okazaki, Neil Patel, Julie Solomon, Oz Perlman, and I'll even share with you how we use audience insights at Gap to create content that's relevant and impactful. Let's get started. First things first, before you can forge a meaningful connection with an audience, you need to figure out who they are. As a content creator, understanding the balance between a broad and niche audience is crucial for growing your engagement and your business. Broad content allows you to reach a wider audience and potentially increase views and revenue, while niche content creates deeper and more meaningful connections with a dedicated community. The key is finding the balance that works for you.
And whether you're marketing a product, a service, or just yourself, it's useful to start by thinking in terms of your TAM, or your Total Addressable Market. But just how big or small should you start? This is what Neil Patel, an expert on digital marketing, told me about how he approaches a potential audience.
What strategies does Neil Patel suggest for identifying your audience?
What makes a good audience market to me is a big TAM. So assuming you find something you're passionate about by just through trial and error, you got to make sure you're focusing on a big TAM. Everyone says the riches are in the niches. That's far from true. If you look at the majority of the large corporations out there like Tesla's automotive, right? People need cars in this world. If you look at Microsoft, everyone needs software to run these computers and digital devices that we're on. If you look at Google, we're relying on search for anything. and someone organizing data and feeding it to us in a very organized fashion. If you look at Apple, we need all these hardware pieces that they're selling from headphones to cell phones to laptops, right? These are large markets.
If you look, again, look at the biggest companies in the world, they're going after large markets and not niches. So the key is to go after a big TAM. Now you can start in a niche if you want, and there's nothing wrong with that, but you need to make sure that you can expand that niche into a large market because the amount of effort it takes to market a business, whether it's on LinkedIn or any social platform or even SEO, for a niche compared to a large market is almost the same amount of effort. Sure. It's harder in a large market. It takes longer to see results, but it's the same process in the same time and energy that you're putting into it. So might as well go after something big because it's very unrealistic to be in a niche and being like, you know what, I'm going to dominate this niche and gobble up a hundred percent of the market share. or even 20, 30%. That's very hard to do.
But on the flip side, it's easier to say, hey, I'm going to go after this multi-billion dollar market and I'm going to gobble up 0.1% of it, right? You gobble up even something small, that's enough money where you're generating millions of dollars where it's meaningful, right? For example, if it's a $10 billion market that you're going after, you gobble up 0.1%. That's big enough to create an amazing life and a business.
So you're saying you need a big, sort of more broad market. You don't want to get too in the niches because they're really hard to find. That's like finding a needle in a haystack. When you're a marketer, you want to find your audience in mass. You want to target them in mass. That's how you're going to target them in the cheapest way, most effective way.
