| Before you start writing an article, one of the first things you need to ask yourself is "Who's my audience?" Pinning down your target audience is a crucially-important step in your effort to communicate clearly. Miss the mark by not taking a topic seriously enough and you run the risk of alienating that core audience. On the other hand, take too formal of an approach to a lighthearted topic and you'll appear rigid and unemotional. So, you really have to know exactly what group of people you're writing the article for to ensure you communicate in the best possible way. Watch this video to discover the differences between formal and informal writing to help you gear your writing in the right direction.
