Buyer Persona

Also known as:Customer PersonaIdeal Customer ProfileICP

Definition

A research-based profile of the specific type of person most likely to purchase a creator's products, courses, or services. While an audience avatar describes the ideal content consumer, a buyer persona describes the ideal customer — and the two are not always the same person. Understanding the distinction between who watches your content and who buys from you is essential for building a creator business that converts audience attention into sustainable revenue.
