I meet a lot of stubborn entrepreneurs. It always amazes me when a business owner insist on doing thing the way THEY want them done, when research shows their audience wants something else. Or when a business owner has an idea, a color, or a design style THEY love, and decide to plow forward with it even though it's exactly what their audience hates. I blame ego. In today's video (episode four of the branding project), I talk about being flexible when building your brand, and the importance of knowing your competition.

Blog Branding Project – Episode 2
Who, specifically, is your audience? One of the most critical factors for any brand's success is its ability to connect with its ideal audience. Step one in making that connection is researching your audience to learn as much about them as you possibly can. In this second episode of the Blog Branding Project, I show you how to gather some of this information by doing an example search, and talking about the results I found. You'll also find out whether the audience for this new blog will be mostly men, or mostly women. As always, I'd love your feedback and will be happy to answer your questions - just post them in the comments below.
