James Chartrand has a great article on <strong>Copyblogger<\/strong> in which he talks about the importance of knowing your audience when writing persuasive copy. The biggest problem is that we see people of a specific demographic in an entirely different way than the people themselves do. We see a collection of statistics about ages and genders while they see a genuine, real-life story. To combat this, Chartrand suggests that you create a person to write for and attach yourself to that person&#8217;s story. Get in your readers&#8217; shoes and help lead them to a solution. You&#8217;re more likely to create a connection with your audience this way, because you\u2019ve focused on helping them solve their problem rather than just trying to sell them a product.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Read more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.copyblogger.com\/copywriting-reader\/\" target=\"_blank\">copyblogger.com<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>17 Ways to Use Twitter<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re still figuring out how to fly in the world of <strong>Twitter<\/strong>, you are not alone.
