How to FINALLY Find Your Audience and Unleash Your Social Media Mojo

     Imagine being an independent musician, desperately trying to make waves on social media. But hold on a second, there's a tiny issue—you have no clue who your audience is or what they really want. It's like blindly throwing darts at a wall and praying for a bullseye. Trust me, I've been there, it’s Bummertown USA.

Without a clear understanding of your audience, you end up feeling as lost as a lone sock tumbling around in the dryer. You waste precious time, effort, and resources on creating content that lands with a dull thud. Your ads get lost in the chaotic noise, and your engagement levels plummet faster than a deflating balloon. It's enough to make you want to smash your computer with your guitar—which is not as rock 'n' roll as it might sound.

But wait, it gets worse. Think about all those hours you've spent crafting witty posts to promote your music, only to get a measly handful of likes or comments. Or the heartbreak of releasing a new single, only to realize it's not striking a chord with your audience at all. It feels a lot like being lost alone in space--ouch! The struggle is real, my friend.

But would it make you feel better if I told you you’re not alone?

     Here's a mind-blowing stat for you: a whopping 62% of marketers say that identifying the right target audience is their biggest challenge. It's a universal headache that haunts businesses of all shapes and sizes—not just in the music world. The data doesn't lie. When you don't know who your audience is, you miss out on opportunities, waste resources, and end up with lackluster results. And when it comes to our art, it's doubly frustrating and soul-crushing. No wonder some artists start believing that marketing is as effective as a kazoo at a metal concert. But what would you say if I told you that doesn't have to be the case?

Section 1: YOUR Topic Wheel

First up, we're gonna get personal. This section is all about you, baby! Answer the topic wheel questions based on your own musical journey and pivotal life moments.

Why? 

Because guess what? 

Your biggest fans are probably looking for a reflection of themselves in you. By using your own experiences to create a marketing audience, you're gonna hit that sweet spot where your art, aesthetic, and message resonate like crazy. Go ahead and take some time to give this the thought it deserves and write down everything that comes to mind for each of the questions!

Okay, moving on--

Section 2: Topic Wheel Based on Similar Artists

Now, let's spice things up. We're gonna channel the vibes of artists who are similar to you. It's like stepping into their shoes (or rockstar boots) and answering the topic wheel questions from their perspective.

Don't worry if you don't have all the nitty-gritty details about their lives. But hey, haven't you stalked your favorite artists before? Time to do some research, my friend! Dive into interviews, biographies, concert footage, and more. Find out who your fans think you sound like and soak up all the juicy info.

You might discover some repeating answers or struggle a bit, but no worries—we're all doing our best here!

Section 3: Topic Wheel Based on Your Existing Fanbase (If Any)

Now, this is where the party gets wild. If you already have fans (you rockstar, you!), it's time to tap into their minds. These are the people who already love your music, so they're a goldmine of insights. Answer the topic wheel questions based on what you know about them.

But hold up! If your fanbase is mostly made up of friends and family, we might have a bias situation on our hands. So be aware of that. If you're just starting out and don't have a fanbase yet, no worries! You can still gather info by polling your following on social media or digging into conversations you've had with fans through comments, emails, and DMs.

Once you've conquered these sections, you'll have all your answers neatly collected in one place. It's like having a backstage pass to your audience's minds. 

And now, my friend, it's time to decode the data and make some magic happen!

Section 4: Organizing Your Fan Avatars

Okay, now we're getting serious about this avatar stuff. We're not talking about the blue aliens from Pandora, but rather descriptions of your ideal fans. Take a look at all the topics you've gathered from the previous page. See how they can be grouped together based on similarities. 

If you spot "yoga," "hiking," "wellness," and "journaling" in your list, you've got yourself a "Self Care" avatar. Boom!

By organizing these interests, you're shaping the image of your ideal fans. And just like that, customer avatars begin to emerge and you’re lightyears ahead of where you were in your audience discovery journey when you started reading this article! These avatars are now at your disposal for audience targeting, content curation, and more!
