For several years, I’ve been using Reader Avatars (also called Reader Profiles or Personas) on my blogs – and I’ve found them very effective and helpful. To create your first reader avatar, you’ll need to spend some time thinking and writing about a type of reader that you’re either attempting to reach or who is already reading your blog.

If you’re a frequent user on Instagram, Twitter and Tiktok (I mean, who isn’t?)

When was the last time that branded Twitter avatar called you back? Behind every branded corporate Twitter avatar, Facebook page, LinkedIn group and Instagram profile is a human being.

Basically where social takes off and takes on magical tones is when we get to associate a name with a physical face and voice and not an avatar.
