Attract Qualified Leads with Quality Content
First, a little background: You may be familiar with the magic of inbound marketing. Inbound means creating quality content specifically designed to attract your ideal customer. Quality content, however, is not something that just happens.
In order to avoid wasting time and effort on content that doesn’t quite hit the mark, you need an effective content marketing strategy in place that pushes you towards your ultimate goal: attracting qualified leads.
In the old days, you’d be walking door-to-door armed with a briefcase and a smile, praying you’d end up on the front stoop of someone with a genuine need for your product.
But this isn’t the old days—it’s 2018—and that’s why we’re showing you how to create a solid content marketing strategy.
The 6 Secrets to a Successful Content Strategy
Good content marketing involves planning, development, and management. If you take the time to sit down and identify what you want to accomplish, it’s much easier to figure out how to accomplish it.
There are six main areas of developing your content that need special attention in order for your content strategy to be successful:
1. Clear Goals
Define specific, actionable content goals for your content strategy that support your overall marketing goals
2. A Target Audience
Develop specific, effective Buyer Personas so that your content speaks to (and is more likely to get in front of) the customers you want
3. A Comprehensive Content Audit
Analyze the content you have thus far and find out what works and what doesn’t, and what can be repurposed to save time and effort
4. Fresh Ideas
Brainstorm fresh, engaging content concepts your customers want, need, and love
5. Realistic Expectations
Determine your capacity to set yourself up for success and avoid failure by determining what level of production you’re capable of
6. A Promotional Strategy
Share your content with the world via the proper social media and republishing channels to make sure you get in front of right-fit readers
