Rant: My Audience Resides in Ghost-Ville

[TheWiseGuy]

Okay. Hear me out-- Getting simple feedback from my audience is like pulling teeth from a bear.

Now, let me say this- I've made every effort to engage through the form of educational content, giveaways and follow ups.

My TA is Women from the ages of 35-65, and they're extremely engaged with my social media ads. My business model is universally loved; they sign up to my email list and then it's as if the cat snatched their tongue.

Leads aside, even customers seem to suffer from this. A recent customer had an issue with her form page, I swiftly solved her issue and got her back on track. To ensure she's satisfied, I followed up. She opened the email and never responded.

Another customer received her product. As I offer a money-back guarantee, I sent her an email two days after delivery, asking her if she was satisfied. And... opened. Again. The thing is, I need these testimonials (good or bad).

It's getting extremely frustrating. It's one thing to support a small business by purchasing, but at least give us something to work with-- especially if you're a customer.

I can't see any other meaningful way to address this. It's as if my target audience resides in a ghost town, found somewhere in the Arizona Desert.

At this point, I have no tangible feedback to work with. And my audience really isn't working with me, despite my greatest efforts.

So yeah, this post was more of a ranting nature. But if anybody has had a similar experience, I'd love to hear how you figured it out.

MARKETING  Thread 'Just start already'

Jan 20, 2021

It was just after midnight on 10-Nov-20 and I was annoyed with myself for not starting a particular project I'd been thinking about for a few weeks.

I decided to quickly post a short note to my Facebook profile before hitting the hay. At the time I had 880 friends on Facebook and had been a bit more active the previous few weeks than normal so thought I might get a bit of interest.

This is what I posted, and I woke to 17 people saying they were interested:




Only after people expressed an interest did I wonder what to do with them.

I didn’t have a domain setup for this...
