Yes, we need the basics:<\/p><ul style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><li>Age<\/li><li>Location<\/li><li>Occupation<\/li><li>Marital status<\/li><li>Education level<\/li><li>Income level<\/li><\/ul><p>But don&#8217;t stop there.

We&#8217;re diving into their minds. So think about questions like these:<\/p><ul style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><li>What keeps them up at night?<\/li><li>What are their core values?<\/li><li>What do they read?<\/li><li>What podcasts do they listen to?<\/li><li>Which influencers do they follow?<\/li><li>What are their hobbies?<\/li><li>What makes them click &#8216;buy&#8217; without hesitation?<\/li><\/ul><p>People buy based on <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">EMOTIONS<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p><p>So understanding the way they think is more important than anything else. Their fears, wants and desires are extremely important when it comes to marketing. Those are the exact things you want to speak to.<\/p><h4><strong>Part 3: Behaviors (What They Do)<\/strong><\/h4><p>This is where the rubber meets the road.
