THINKIFIC TARGET AUDIENCE
Although Thinkific have thousands of customers from virtually every industry and from all over the world, the majority of our customers fall into one of two categories/personas. Please keep these personas in mind as you create content for your blog.
1. Industry Experts & Solopreneurs
These are individuals that have built their businesses by sharing their expertise with others. They are authors, speakers, freelancers, coaches, consultants, bloggers, podcast hosts, etc. For some of them, creating and selling online courses is their primary source of revenue. For others, online courses are just one of several sources of revenue for their business.
Although these individuals are usually the face of their brand, they often have small teams helping them to run their business. They have proven track records in their respective industries, paying customers/clients, and typically a strong presence on social media. Basically, these people are not beginners. They are professionals. Many of them have spent several years creating content and sharing their expertise with others in various ways.
Examples of Thinkific customers in this category:
- Lewis Howes (The School of Greatness)
- Mimi G (Sewing Academy)
- Jonathan Levi (Become a SuperLearner)
- Dana Malstaff (Boss Mom Academy)
2. Small and Medium-Sized Business (SMBs) and Large Organizations
These are companies and organizations that create online courses to help acquire customers (lead generation & revenue) and/or train existing customers (customer success & retention). It is not uncommon for these companies to have multiple courses, multiple instructors, and thousands of students or more enrolled in their courses.
A persona might include the Director of Education (or some other similar title). This person oversees the creation of online courses and training programs under their company or organization’s brand name for any of the purposes listed in the previous paragraph.
