<\/a>Writing a Book – CC License kartikay.sahay of Flicker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe first thing you need to think about is\u00a0why<\/em> you’re making whatever you’re making. \u00a0This might seem silly, but it’s important. \u00a0If you just decide that “you want to write a book,” the reason makes a big difference. \u00a0Do you want to make a ton of money off it? Then you will probably need to research current book markets to find out what’s popular. \u00a0Do you want to help people in some way? That will help you decide what to write about. \u00a0These are just a couple examples. \u00a0You need to decide exactly what purpose the book will serve, and continue to think about it while writing, recording, etc. \u00a0If while you’re making your work you realize “this work is straying from the purpose”, you need to get back on track.<\/li>\n- \n
Your Audience<\/h3>\n
Who will be seeing your work? \u00a0Will it be young people or old people? \u00a0Fans of jazz or hip-hop? Are they tech-savvy or not? These are examples of questions you\u00a0must<\/em> ask yourself even before you start whatever you want to do. \u00a0Say you want to write a song that older people will enjoy, yet you write a rap song. \u00a0This is an extreme example but illustrates problems that will arise if you don’t think about who you will be putting the work in front of. \u00a0Thinking about your target audience ahead of time lets you create a work tailored for that demographic, and will ensure that this group will be satisfied as much as possible.<\/li>\n- \n
Your Brand<\/h3>\n
How do you want to portray yourself? \u00a0You don’t have to\u00a0be<\/em> yourself, necessarily. \u00a0This comes back to audience in a way. \u00a0Let’s assume you want to make videos catered towards young people, but you are very lethargic and boring in your videos; that will not go over well. \u00a0With that audience, it would probably go over better if you create a high-energy persona. \u00a0Your brand\u00a0and<\/em> works must cater towards your audience, and that way you will get more people interested in not just your work, but you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whether you’re starting a book, a YouTube channel, a blog, or any other creative work, there are a couple things you must consider.
