Appeal To Your Audience’s Identity
People are more likely to engage with content that speaks directly to who they are and what they value.
In other words — content that appeals to their identity.
💡 We define ourselves based on the groups we belong to.
Create content that reinforces the beliefs and values of your audience and you’ll build a raving fanbase.
Example:
Gary Vaynerchuk is a serial entrepreneur and a massive content creator in the business niche.
His content appeals to entrepreneurs and side-hustlers by constantly speaking to their ambitions, struggles, and self-beliefs.
He speaks directly to his audience’s identity.
By doing so, he’s built a giant following.
Here’s a list of specific ways you can appeal to your audience’s identity in your content:
Survey Your Audience: Poll them to identify their core values.
Use Their Language: Use specific slang or jargon that they identify with in your headlines and content.
Highlight Peer Success: Feature stories or testimonials from group members who have achieved goals your audience aspires to.
Create Engagement Spaces: Set up forums or social media groups where your audience can share stories and solutions.
Champion A Cause: Dedicate content to support a cause important to you and your audience.
Give it a go — build your tribe.

🔨 Your Headline Template:
"Would You Fall For These [Number] [Niche/Topic] Scams? I Was Caught By One"

🔁 How To Adapt It For Your Niche:
Identify Scams: Research the most common scams within your niche.
Personalize It (If You Can): If possible, share a personal story or a known case within your niche where you or someone else fell for one of the scams.
Offer Advice: Include tips or ways to avoid these scams, providing actionable value.
