Summary

Step 1: Define Your Audience

  • Who do you want to reach?

  • Who will find you, whether you want them to or not?

    • Remember, when you're on the web, you're instantly "international"
    • You can't just target one geographic sector as you would with print media

  • Who are our audiences?
    • All of us have "the general public" as part of our audience
    • Public service organizations can assume that the media is one of their audiences
    • How about people who want jobs with your organization?
    • How about people who want to donate to your organization or volunteer?
    • How about related organizations who may want to refer their customers to you?
    • Who else?
