4 ways to identify the perfect student for your course
"An audience is a single group of people that share the specific problem your [course] solves. Why does this matter? Because the key...is actually narrowing your audience down as much as possible to only the people your [course] is intended to help." —Tucker Max, author and founder of Scribe Media
1. What's the "vibe" of your ideal student?

2. What pain points are they facing today?
- What is your ideal student sick of?
- What are they losing sleep over?
- What are they frustrated by?
3. Where do they want to be?
