Targeting Globalized Readers

The Ocean As A Home to All Natural Resources

The ocean is home to all natural resources regardless of types, sex, race, and anything. They all can come and find their places in the ocean. Why is it so you may wonder? Two things I know: The school teaches – the sun boils the water in the ocean to develop stream. The stream evaporates making its way into the sky. Then, it forms into cloud and out pouring as rain onto the earth. The water from the rain cycles back into the ocean. Yet, not all the water goes straight into the ocean. Some of the water remains in land as ground water, lake, and river to nourish all natural sources including human and animals. As the night comes, the moon plays its part in gulping water as tie wave gathering water and piling up onto one part of the ocean as mountain. When this happens, we call it low tie on the lower part and high tie on the higher part, the one side, which has the water pile up. Between the sun and the moon’s activities, the ocean can sustain its course to welcome all its habitats. In order to have this process serving the world, without the effort of the ocean gathering its habitats, the ocean has to be low enough that all sources can roll in marathon behavior. This action reminds me of Noah letting the animals into the big ark – all the animals came to Noah in pair and walked into the ark through the wide-opened door. I think as writers, we want to see readers come to our offers willingly just like the ocean welcoming all natural resources. The question is based on the big word – HOW. How do we…? 

Ocean Metaphor

Reflecting the ocean perspective, how can writer learn from the ocean? In addition, what part of the processes that best fit the writers to adopt and adapt to help them generating the same result? Well, as we are experted in our field, we can think more ways to writes that fit majority readers from our known angles. Some may target the readeers based on lifestyle, others might niche their writing on autobiography, and few may wish to target the audiences on health and wealth. However, all these writers are rooted from the same purpose: write the article that sale. Yes, to write the article that readers are willing to pay. The answer can be rested upon the metaphoric idea of the ocean – that is to be low enough that all readers can attract to, attest to, identify with, and easy to apply to their daily needs. The needs might be arising from various angles such as to use the articles as to help guide or navigate their lives, to promote or convey their ideas, for reference in assuring their thought when trying to influence others through their articles.

A Side Bar Example 

The best example would be to write within the readers’ preferences regarding their environment and living condition. This can be culture, lifestyle, language, environment, health, wealth, economy, and politics. Readers will read whatever that suit, enrich, and nourish them in accord to their geo-demographical areas. Therefore, readers should learn to adopt the ocean metaphoric if they wish to reach most audiences in the world or the audiences that they are targeting.

 Right Contents

With the right contents for the target audiences, the writers need then focusing their attentions on the sharping their writing skills and techniques. Here is one main and best idea I can share with all writers. Yes, writers should always attract and grab the readers’ attention in the title, header, headline, and introduction writing spots. This is a cruicial and best spots the writers can win readers to their presenting articles.
