Your audience plays a huge role in your career
as a content writer. They are your
motivation. On the other hand, they take out
time to read your write-ups, so you might as
well want to work hard to deliver quality
content.
When you write blogs, articles, write-ups, you
should be aware of the kind of content your
audience needs. Track your audience's
impressions when you write varied content.
If your audience is a bunch of teenagers then
write content that teenagers would love to read
about, if your audience is a group of elderly
people, use the same formula.
