Thanks and welcome! Jeremy, you’ve inspired a few more blog posts to answer your questions. My quick answers are: 1. Serve a group you’re already a member of. There’s no better way to really get inside the head of a market than being part of that market yourself. 2. Survey your target audience - online or off. 3. Be genuinely curious about other people. Observe them. Find out what makes them tick. 4. Research your market on the internet. There’s a wealth of information out there on blogs, message boards and other websites. Use these resources to your advantage. I appreciate the vote of confidence, Chris and Jason. Thanks and welcome!

People always tell me that they don't have time to read or look at articles, but do they know what everybody else does. This was a great perspective, though. I enjoy how you put me on the couch. I think that I do bring a lot of my prejudices or judgements into business decisions that are based on my personal experiences and tastes. It is not as though I try to be self-centered, but I know that in some ways I am making assumptions about my readers that I really don't know. What are the best ways that are out there that you like to engage your target audience? How do you know what kinds of behaviors they have? - Jeremy I get this a lot with the paper.
