Who is Your Target Audience?

Posted on February 21, 2026February 22, 2026 by Tim Brownlaw

Most people answer this question like this:

“Anyone who wants to make money online.”

That’s not an audience.

That’s avoidance.

This morning I decided to test something.

Instead of guessing… I opened a Chat with Alex and asked:

“If I was starting again, who would I actually want to help?”

But here’s the important part.

The real value wasn’t the answer.

It was the method.

So let me show you the 5 questions that actually matter.

You can answer these yourself.


1. What Problem Do They Already Have?

Not what product you want to sell.

What frustration do they already feel?

Confusion?
Overwhelm?
Starting and stopping?
Too many moving parts?

If you can’t clearly describe the tension… you don’t yet have an audience.


2. What Have They Tried?

Courses?
YouTube?
Templates?
More information?

Most people don’t lack effort.
They lack clarity.


3. Why Isn’t That Working?

Usually because:

• Steps are skipped
• Assumptions are made
• Technical gaps aren’t explained
• Momentum isn’t structured

Information isn’t the bottleneck.

Execution friction is.


4. What Is Missing?

Often it’s not a new strategy.

It’s:

Clarity.
Structure.
Someone to connect the dots.


5. What Can You Offer That Reduces Friction?

Not hype.
Not bigger promises.

Just:

Clearer next steps.
Simpler language.
Smaller wins.

That’s enough to move someone forward.


The Slight Awareness Shift

Here’s the insight from my Chat with Alex:

Your target audience is the group whose frustration you understand deeply enough to simplify.

That’s it.

Not age.
Not job title.
Not income bracket.

Clarity of problem.

If you can explain their stuck point better than they can…

They’ll recognise themselves in your words.

And that’s when marketing stops feeling like marketing.


Why I’m Sharing This

Because sometimes the best use of AI isn’t content generation.

It’s structured thinking.

You don’t need Alex specifically.

You just need better questions.

Try the five above.

Answer them honestly.

You might be surprised what becomes obvious.

Have a Grand Day 🙂

I am an avid Website developer and Affiliate Marketer.
I created my First Website back in 2001 using Frontpage (yes that old…) which quickly led me into Hand coding HTML and CSS.
So over time I got a bit handy with custom PHP scripts and MySQL Database Design and not forgetting javascript.
So, If you ever have any questions – except for “what are the winning lotto numbers” I will do my best to help when I can.
