Content Marketing CAN Be Fun—It Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful

So, your content marketing strategy isn’t going so well. Your posts are failing, your KPIs are not improving and your audience is silent - and not because they are in awe of your content marketing genius either!

If You Write It, They Will Come – Not True!

Here’s the frustrating thing. You are creating regular content, doing everything by the book and giving useful advice and insights that you really thought your audience would love. But love it they don’t. They are not sharing content, coming back for more or asking questions.
What’s more, you’re running out of ideas for more content and that blinking cursor and blank white page is starting to drive you a little crazy.

It can all add up to a stressful situation of gargantuan proportions, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Perhaps what’s needed here is a little revamp of your content marketing strategy.

How to Erase the Stress and Inject Some Fun into Content Marketing

Firstly, you don’t need to change your focus and topics. You don’t suddenly need to be a comedian to inject some life, fun and magic into your content. All you need is a little variety where your content formats are concerned.
There are so many options available to you when it comes to making the most of your content. So, come on, whip out your big wooden spoon and let’s give that content plan a good mix up!

  1. If something makes you smile, write about it. Fun content that makes your visitors smile can really get those happy hormones dancing.
  2. Get your audience talking. Engaging with your target audience is a great way to get them thinking, talking and sharing. Social media is the perfect platform for this.
  3. Invite some guests to do the hard work for you. Guest blogs can really pep up your content and add interest and variety. What’s more, collaborating with other experts in the same industry as you is a great networking exercise and can open up many doors.
  4. Give away some freebies. Everybody likes free stuff. Whether it’s free advice, free gifts or a special offer, a blog post promoting something for nothing can achieve great exposure.
  5. Reach into your archives. - On the days when you simply have no creativity or inspiration to draw from, why not delve into your content archives?  Look for posts that have achieved great results in the past and repost or share them over social media.

Content marketing doesn’t have to be a chore and it doesn’t have to always be about serious subjects. At MintCopy we have fun writing compelling, engaging and exciting content for our clients every day.  Contact us now at 888-646-8003 or send us an email to find out more.

But Play by the Rules and with a Clear Conscience

My last blog post was the first time I ever wrote about a deeply personal experience. It certainly was heartwarming and overwhelming to receive so many kind and encouraging messages from family, friends, co-workers, clients, and even some past students and interns. Thank you! Some business associates and clients also responded with feedback on my comments about the “AI-generated content elephant in the room”. Healthy discussions ensued and I want to clarify that I am not against AI-generated content. If your small or medium-sized business has time and budgetary limitations, and you cannot hire a content agency, professional copywriters, and SEO content writers, then AI tools may be the way to go. I’ve summarized the key questions clients are asking about this.

Include Your POV to Encourage Conversion

Imagine how differently we'd see Star Wars if it was told through the eyes of a stormtrooper trying to get his next promotion or through Chewbacca's point of view. The reader of a story interprets the tale through the perspective of the narrator. Choosing an engaging and valuable point of view (POV) is essential to the narrative. You may not think of your content as a novel or a movie, but you're still telling a story through your blogs, email newsletters, videos, and other forms of digital content. Offering a unique POV with your online content can help make your brand stand out.
