How Do You Research Your Target Audience?

Where did you get insight to develop success theme? I did try to have a conversation with my clietns and my taget audience and got no any answers.

I did:

  • contact via Skype my clients that i did help for free, whey didnt answer to me
  • did try warriorforum, digitalpoint, seochat, seomastering.com, quora.com

Nobody answer, nobody answer to my Google Survey. I want to understand my target audience better and create perfect template, but nobody want to tell what they want.

How do you research your audience? Or you just doing some design and create a theme?

Best regards
