Day Four: Identify Your Audience

We often create posts hoping that a specific person (or persons) will see our work.

Who’s your ideal reader?

Today, publish a post you’d like your ideal reader to see, and include a new-to-you element.

Here’s how:

First, brainstorm the kind of person you hope will read your blog.

What do you want to say to them?

Next, start your new post by clicking on the button below.

Remember to include a media element (an image, a video embed, etc.) you haven’t experimented with yet.

Finally, give your post a few tags, including bloggingfundamentals, and publish it.

Writing with a specific person in mind is a great way to focus your thoughts and goals.

Exploring new media elements adds more tools to your storyteller’s toolbox and helps engage your readers.

I had more dreams last night, but I forget them except for four parts of my last dream.

Part 1

All that I can remember of this dream from last night is that the first part of the dream started during the day in a slightly fictional version of the city of D, and some of my former male classmates (MT, JB, maybe DH, and maybe one or two others) and some other people and I were walking on the left side of the road past where the BB Grocery Store should be on our way to a fictional public housing (project housing) area where some family members of maybe my former classmates MT and JB lived.
