Notes de l'éditeur
- From Copyblogger: Content Marketing means creating and sharing valuable free content to attract and convert prospects into customers, and customers into repeat buyers. The type of content you share is closely related to what you sell; in other words, you ’ re educating people so that they know, like, and trust you enough to do business with you.The primary goal is to obtain opt-in permission to deliver content over time, preferably by email. Repeated and regular exposure builds a relevant relationship that provides multiple opportunities for conversion , rather than a “ one-shot ” all-or-nothing sales approach.
- There are 5 steps to getting started in content marketing: 1 - know your tribe (audience) and what will appeal to them 2 - set up a viable home base where you can house your content and build your tribe 3 - plan and create your pillar content that will appeal to your tribe and develop an ongoing plan for new content 4 - launch a campaign to attract current and new tribe members using email and social media 5- honing your calls to action knowing what you want from your tribe and how to ask for it
- 1. Be clear, Be Specific - don ’ t dance around the issue. If you want them to watch a video say, “ watch this video. ” If you want them to click to get 20% off their next purchase or book a seat at a seminar then say so. People will appreciate the honesty and frankly they don ’ t have the attention span to figure out what you want them to do. 2. Excite the User – clarity doesn ’ t require boredom. You can precede a link with something to the effect of: “ Crush Them in Court: Download Our Free Litigation for Customers Kit Today ” or “ Here are 10 Hair Styles to AVOID. ” Add a little drama and get people to act. 3. Start with Key Phrase s – while the first two tips are definitely important, don ’ t feel you need reinvent the wheel every time. There are key phrases that resonate with your buyer, a lingo that speaks to them. Start with that, spice it up, and then simplify. Refer to your keyword list.
