Improve Your Writing by Looking Through the Eyes of Your Ideal Reader

Struggling to connect with your audience? Wondering if your message really speaks to your readers, whether they are clients, students, or donors?

AI can help you understand how your writing resonates by simulating your ideal reader.

🎯 Objective

You want to make your writing more persuasive and relevant to your target audience.

Whether you’re writing a client update, creating materials for prospective law students, or preparing a donor outreach, you need to understand how different readers will perceive your message.

By using AI to simulate feedback from different ideal readers, you can tailor your content to better resonate with the people you want to reach.

⚙️ Solution

  1. Define Your Target Readers:

    • Identify your audience clearly. Who is your ideal reader? a potential clients? a potential donor for your organization? a potential recruit? Be specific about their characteristics (e.g., their profession, concerns, goals).

    • For example, a small business owner will be concerned about legal risks and compliance, while a prospective law student might worry about financial aid and career prospects.

  2. Prepare Your Content:

    • Choose the material you want feedback on, like a client update, fundraising pitch, or law school brochure.

    • Ensure the content is aligned with your objectives (e.g., making a compelling case for why a client should seek your legal advice).

  3. Create AI Prompts for Simulated Feedback:

    • Create detailed prompts that ask AI to react as if they were your target reader. Describe their background, needs, and concerns.

    • Example: "You are the owner of a small restaurant chain. You are worried about new employment law regulations and how they might impact your business. After reading this client update, how do you feel about the advice? Is it clear? Does it address your specific concerns?"

  4. Use AI to Simulate Reader Reactions:

    • Run your prompts through the AI to generate feedback from each persona.

    • Take note of how each persona reacts to your content—what they find valuable, what confuses them, and where they need more information.

  5. Refine Your Content Based on Insights:

    • Analyze the feedback to identify common themes and areas for improvement.

    • Use the insights to adjust your tone, structure, or focus, ensuring your content speaks more directly to the concerns and motivations of your target readers.

📝 Sample Prompts

For a Lawyer Writing a Client Update:

You are David, a 50-year-old owner of a small chain of restaurants. 
Your biggest concern is staying compliant with new employment law regulations, 
but you have limited time to read long legal updates. 
After reading this client update from a law firm, what catches your attention? 
Do you find the advice practical and easy to follow? 
What new questions does this raise for you?

For Law School Recruitment:

You’re a college senior with a 3.8 GPA, passionate about social justice, 
but anxious about tuition costs. 
After reading this recruitment brochure, 
what excites you about law school? 
What concerns remain?

For Nonprofit Donor Outreach:

You are Margaret, a 60-year-old donor interested in 
supporting causes related to social justice and education. 
You have a strong interest in transparency and 
want to ensure your donations make a measurable impact. 
After reading this nonprofit's annual fundraising letter, 
do you feel confident in how your donation will be used? 
Is anything unclear or missing?"

🚀 Take it to the Next Level

  • A/B Test Your Content Using AI: Create multiple drafts of the same content and ask AI personas to react to each version. This can help you determine which style or approach is more persuasive to your target audience.

  • Simulate Feedback from Multiple Stakeholders: For example, if you’re crafting legal content, create personas representing different roles in a company—like a small business owner, a CFO, and an HR manager. See how each reacts to your content to ensure it resonates across different decision-makers.

  • Simulate Different Emotional Responses: Ask the AI to react not only based on professional concerns but also based on emotional reactions like excitement, frustration, or confusion. This can help you fine-tune the emotional appeal of your content.

⚠️ Keep in Mind

  • Persona Accuracy Matters: The more detailed and accurate your personas are, the more useful the feedback will be. Take the time to fully flesh out your target audience’s background and concerns.

  • Legal and Ethical Review: While AI can provide valuable feedback on how persuasive or clear your content is, it’s still essential to have human experts review your content, especially for accuracy in legal or ethical matters.

  • Real Audience Testing Still Needed: AI-simulated personas can give you valuable insights, but they can’t replace feedback from real people. Use AI to improve your drafts, but validate your content with actual readers whenever possible.
