Micro-Step #11, Pt. 6: Pull It All Together and Create Your Target Audience Profile
Includes a real example at the end to help you get started.
You’ve made it to the final step in the Micro-Steps to Audience Clarity Series. Now it’s time to bring everything together into something practical and usable.
So far, you’ve explored:
- Who your customers, clients, and prospects are
- What they care about
- What they struggle with
- Where they spend time online
- The values that guide their decisions
This final step helps you organize those insights into a clear profile that will guide how you communicate, market, and serve.
What is a Target Audience Profile?
It’s your go-to reference. A focused summary of who you are helping and how to reach them.
Instead of trying to speak to everyone, this keeps you grounded in who matters most. It’s a clarity tool that saves time, energy, and second-guessing.
Your Micro-Step
Using your notes from the previous steps, fill in this simple structure:
- Who they are: age, profession, lifestyle, or business stage
- What they care about: goals, motivations, personal and professional values
- What they’re struggling with: pain points, challenges, doubts
- Where they spend time: platforms, communities, content types
- What they value: authenticity, support, flexibility, results, confidence
This does not have to be long. One short paragraph or bullet list is enough. What matters is that you create something you can come back to every time you are writing, planning, or building something new.
Why This Works
When your message reflects the reality of the people you want to serve, your entire business starts to feel more aligned.
- You attract people who are already looking for what you offer
- You feel more confident in your content and your presence
- You stop trying to reach everyone and start making real connections
This is about staying focused and intentional with your time, your voice, and your energy.
This Is Just the Beginning
This profile is not set in stone. It will grow with you and shift as your business evolves. But having a starting point gives you direction.
You can always refine it later. The point is to stop guessing and start building from clarity.
Target Audience Profile Example
Below is a concise version of my personal Target Audience Analysis. My full version is more detailed and acts as a guide to help me consistently create messaging, services, and offers that truly resonate with the people I want to serve.
If you would like support creating your own Target Audience Analysis, you can get started with my Exploration + Starter Consultation. It’s designed to give you clarity, direction, and a custom plan to move forward.
Example:
- Who they are: Women, ages 34 to 55, who are working a full-time 9-to-5 job and also building a service-based side business. They are serious about making the transition to full-time entrepreneurship but need structure, clarity, and support.
- What they care about: Building a business that aligns with their purpose and allows them to make an impact. They want time freedom, financial independence, and the ability to create a life that works on their terms.
- What they’re struggling with: Feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin. They are unsure about who their ideal customer really is, how to stand out in a crowded market, and how to find time to focus on their business consistently.
- Where they spend time: LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook groups for women in business. They follow business coaches and content that speaks to both mindset and strategy.
- What they value: Clarity, confidence, authenticity, and results. They believe in personal growth, appreciate supportive communities, and are open to mindset practices like visualization and manifesting.
- How I help: I support them by helping them build a strong business foundation. We define their target audience, develop a brand that feels authentic, and craft a powerful story that connects. I also help with time management and mindset tools to stay focused, energized, and ready to grow into full-time entrepreneurship.
How You Can Start Using This Now
Even this simplified version of your Target Audience Profile can immediately help you make stronger, more aligned decisions in your business. Here are three quick examples:
- Sharpen Your Messaging: When you know who you’re speaking to, you stop writing for “everyone.” Your emails, social posts, and website copy can speak directly to the challenges, goals, and values of the people who are most likely to become customers.
- Make Confident Content Choices: Instead of guessing what to post or share, you can ask yourself, “Would this help my ideal client?” or “Is this the kind of content she’s already looking for?” That clarity makes content creation faster and more strategic.
- Build Offers That Actually Connect: Knowing what your clients are struggling with allows you to design services or packages that solve the problems they already want help with. You’re not convincing people to care — you’re showing them you understand.
This is how clarity creates momentum. And you don’t have to wait for a perfect, polished version to start seeing results.
