An audience pain mining template is the audit that finds the hurt the audience names. It fixes the pain, the source, and the post — so the audit reads as a content list, not a survey. A team that guesses the pain earns the miss; an audience pain mining template that mines the pain the audience names earns the read and the trust.

What pain does an audience pain mining template name?
The hurt the audience names in their own words — the friction, the failure, the fear — that earns the read. The pain is the part that earns the trust, because a post that guesses the pain earns the miss; a post that names the pain the audience names earns the read.
What source does an audience pain mining template mine?
The places the audience names the pain — the comments, the reviews, the sales calls, the forums — that earn the post. The source is the part that earns the pain, because a guess is a miss; a quote from the audience is the pain the buyer named.
What post does an audience pain mining template draft?
The one post per pain — the hurt named, the fix offered, the CTA earned — that carries the pain. The post is the part that earns the read, because a pain without a post is a finding; a pain with a post is content the buyer reads.
