How to define your target audience?

Before you start creating your course content, it is important to dedicate some time to think about who your intended learners are.

 

A few simple questions can help you do this:

  • Who are they?
  • Where are they?
  • What do they need?
  • What are their goals or challenges?
  • Why do they need it?

 

Having a good definition of your target audience will help you improve your marketing strategies, such as:

  • Developing a language and identity that is in line with your audience;
  • Creating your learning objectives
  • Defining your communication channels;
  • Producing relevant content for your target audience;
  • Knowing how and when to offer promotions;

 

Learners are more engaged and motivated when courses are tailored to their specific interests. Keeping your audience in mind when creating your course will be essential to its success on Udemy.

Thank you Bella, I thought long and hard about this point, before releasing my first course.

l tought what l gennarly teach to all beginner students who come to me to learn the Tabla drum, as l thought it is a good place to start as my next crouse will be learning a specific rhythm with all its developments. This rhythm is one of the most popular rhythms played in Indian music. I am about to release this part 2 course in December and hope that Tabla students enjoy it.

Hi @MendiSingh it is definitely an important part of the course creation process! Knowing who your students are and how to meet their needs and showcase the value of your course is key. Well done for taking your time to figure this out and best of luck with your new course in December! 😊

صحيح 

If there is no one who thinks clearly about these issues, then the course positioning submitted by him will be ambiguous. Without clear positioning, there will be no pain point, no corresponding demand, and no corresponding market. In fact, we should think about the '5 W' problems in the early stage of curriculum development
