Meme Target Audience and Proper Use
The idea behind these memes is to share them in our Facebook group. We'll be sharing your memes primarily with SEO specialists, business owners, and marketers. The memes need to resonate with these people.
What that means is that the memes shouldn't be focused on writing and/or editing, but rather on SEO and content marketing as a whole. Here are a few examples to help illustrate the point:
DON'T
This meme is not only too writer-oriented, but it's also referencing Jotform. Most people won't get what the "1st drafts due" tab refers to. This meme only makes sense internally.
While a quality meme, it's referencing internal stuff. You could send this to a coworker to have a laugh, but it isn't relevant to our target audience.
DO
Proper use of meme format, relevant to the audience, and it's poking fun at self-proclaimed gurus—everything you'd ask from a meme.
Short, sweet, and to the point. SEO specialists will feel this one lol.
Proper Meme Formatting
Incorrect use of a meme format is considered heresy in the meme-god community. Don't butcher the meme format. If you have a great idea, but aren't sure about which meme format would be the best fit, you can always check https://knowyourmeme.com/
Here's an example of a butchered format:
Leo laughing is a prankster meme. It usually doesn't involve four different lines of text and should be used together with a witty quote or a troll statement.
Here's an example:
