By now you may or may not know what a customer avatar is. In case you don't that's okay. It's a technical term to mean your ideal customer. As an author you want to think about who your ideal reader is--is it a teen girl? An 11-year old boy? A lonely 22-year old young lady?
Regardless of who it is and what business you are are in it's crucial you know who you are talking to because not knowing would mean that your copy, your ad, your book even will be all over the place. naturally what appeals to a middle-aged balding golfer would be different from a romantic young woman about tog et married. And it goes a little bit more than that.
The more details you go into when writing out your avatar the better your end product will be. So to help you get started these are questions you want to look into. Be as
specific in answering these questions. It's always in the details!
