But as much as I hate to spoil the party, I have to say it: Knowing who you want to attract through your content leads to maximum visibility, profits, and peace of mind.
Without a clear picture of your ideal audience member, you'll likely end up in constantly churning out new content.
And even if you enjoy what you do, you might eventually hate how much of it you have to do to be able to pay your bills.

Most people are lazy and busy during summer. They have to take care of their kids, are on...
Hey Reader, I've worked with thousands of writers over the past five years, and even though every writer's journey is different, many of us face the same struggles. One of them is idea generation. Even experienced writers can sometimes feel stuck in a creative rut and experience writer's block.

Hey Reader, most of the emails I send you don't have a clear theme or topic, but today is different. This week, I want to encourage you to allow yourself to show up as your authentic self. When we start to publish our work online, we're usually afraid of being judged. And to minimize the risk of being judged, we pretend to be someone we're not. We put on a mask to be professional, smart, or cool. But you know? The easiest way to stand out and share your message with the world is by being you:...
