Before you begin your content marketing, you’re going to need to be well-armed. This means you’re going to have to make some decisions! Here are a few tips to help you:
-
First and foremost, you will need to find the best keywords that relate to your business. Do an extensive search on keywords while keeping in mind your potential customer’s point of view. Yes, include the obvious keywords, but also think outside the box as many customers do. Make a list and always update that list with new keyword ideas, which will keep you inspired with new content ideas.
-
Decide on what goals you want to achieve with your content marketing. Is your goal to be a valuable resource for potential customers, or is it to sell, pitch, and convert more leads? Regardless of your goal, always give content that is valuable to the reader.
-
Keep your writing voice and style consistent. Everyone loves familiarity, like an old friend, a family member, or classmate. Your writing voice will speak volumes if it is consistent, easy to follow, and informative. Your potential customers will trust your voice of reason, and that writing voice will become their friend.
-
Another essential ingredient to consider when putting together your content marketing plan is to pick out relevant infographics, photographs, or videos. This makes your blogs or articles come to life. Let’s face it, as long as you’re going to write an informative post, why not make it engaging?
-
Target your audience! This is extremely important, as it will determine the topic of the content, the length of your post, and which media you will use (such as which videos or infographics speak to that particular audience). Every so often, mix it up a little and change your strategy to reach a new audience.
This seems like a lot of information to consider, but effective content marketing, if designed in a specific way with a specific goal, will work magically and before you know it, you will be considered an authority. If you write good content, potential customers will frequently visit your site and effectively help drive leads!
