Notes de l'éditeur
- Why do we go online? To be informed or entertained. Who clicks on advertisements or makes a purchase after watching an ad? Studies show we are much more likely to purchase through word of mouth endorsements (social media) and are more likely to remember a story (blog content) than an advertisement. Content also positions you as an expert that people can talk to and trust. What kind of people do you like to purchase from? Hard sales vs. inform?What is content marketing? Content marketing is how you can meet the needs and interests of online users. It is the creation of content that is published in order to acquire new customers. We go online to be informed and entertained. This is where you meet your audience, and offer a value in your market. Marketing with a purpose.
- When we think about content, especially when starting out, it’s important to forget about numbers first. Focus on creating really good content and building an audience to share the content and promote it for you.
- What kind of content do you share? Like/tweet/email out? Examples above show active blogs, social networks, and publishing powerhouses. Redbull is a little extreme with their videos and entertainment. There’s even a Red Bull house of Art in Detroit. These four give a good of example of some of the different types of content out their and active communities we are probably already familiar with. Good content spreads, creates brand endorsements online. More on sharable content later.
- These are a few steps for getting started with a content strategy. Most important to tell a story about your brand or business and to publish in your niche. This helps give you a part of the story. More on content partners, which are others already in your area with similar audiences. They are likely to share and spread the word about your product, and vise versa. Good to have.
- Create a buyer persona based on what you understand about your buyer. Think about demographics. Try creating a character that represents your target audience to help you think through all of their needs, desires, concerns, etc. and how you can market to them.
- The Larger brand story is based off of what’s going on around the ecosystem of your product/business. For the Sally example, say if she’s a business in Midland she should research what the local media is talking about, everything from newspapers to social media in MI. What’s the national conversations? Are there local blogs? What does she want to attract and carve as her niche? Some questions for finding the story: What’s the history of your field? The concerns of your audience in relation to our culture/time? What trends are currently going on in your field? Where do you fit into all of this?
- The goal is to create a larger story around your brand/product, and content to help share and spread online. A content guide is good for when you may be outsourcing work, or hiring someone to the team. I’d recommend writing it out just so you’ve thought through what the voice of the brand will be and how you can use this throughout. The 10 Marketing Truths to Embrace Today: help others, be honest, express sympathy, be present (online + in person), Be clear and concise, reflect on feedback, remember community, Remember audience (inspire/entertain/inform), serve a larger purpose, express personality.
