Content Marketing Can Do So Much…Or So Little…Which Goals Should You Pursue?

How to Make Your Content Meaningful for Your Audience
One of the universal lessons of content writing is that even the most perfectly crafted, highly engaging material can fall flat. If you are not truly reaching your audience, and if your content does not resonate with them, it will not have the impact you intend for it. Even the best content writers in North America struggle with this issue from time to time.

In order to create material that will draw your readers in and keep them coming back, you need to establish some relevant goals. By doing this, you will give your marketing strategy structure, and you can then work to implement your goals effectively.

Here are the top 3 goals worth pursuing to increase the power of your content marketing:

  • Truly Connect – One of the top objectives any marketer should have is to build a rapport with the audience. If you are not continuously nurturing your relationship with your users, you will lose sight of what it is they need from your content. One way to build trust is to reach out to individuals when opportunities to do so arise. Instead of always creating content for the masses, try emailing individual subscribers who have previously sought answers to their questions. Ask them for feedback and suggestions on what improvements they would like to see on your blog. You can also develop a stronger rapport by engaging with commenters and participating in social media conversations. 
  • Provide Solutions – Make it a goal to be one step ahead of your customers. If you provide solutions to their needs before they are even aware of them, your blog and business will become invaluable to them. How can you do this? By performing market research, as well as by simply asking your customers for feedback, you will get a better sense of the concerns of your average user. Once you have this information, you can apply it to offer solutions before your users even ask for them. If your blog readers are focused on frugality and maximizing tight budgets, for example, you might demonstrate to them how buying your products will save them money.
  • Increase Customer Loyalty – No doubt, you should always work to attract new users to your brand. However, making lifetime fans of your current audience will help you to build a solid foundation. The people who repeatedly come back to your blog or purchase your products/services are not to be overlooked. These are the individuals who can help you stay afloat when you find it challenging to bring in new business. These are also the loyalists who are more likely to routinely respond to upselling. Additionally, your loyal fan base might do much of your marketing for you. Without paying a dime, you could expand your customer base through word of mouth on social media and in “real life.” How do you increase the loyalty of your audience? Be available when they reach out to you, be flexible when customers have issues, and follow up sales and customer interactions by asking for feedback. When you get feedback, implement the suggestions you are given whenever possible.    

Many content marketing goals are worth pursuing, and only you can determine which ones will benefit your business. You can start by connecting more deeply with your audience, providing solutions to your user base, and increasing customer loyalty. All of these goals may be enhanced with the use of epic content.

What Kind of Material Should I Read for Business Insights?

Reading is like the spinach of the writing world, except instead of bulging muscles, it gives you bulging vocabularies!

Content Marketing Best Practices that Garner Attention

Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams”? It made popular the phrase, “If you build it, he will come”. Shoeless Joe and other baseball legends may have magically appeared on a cornfield-turned-baseball diamond. However, when it comes to content marketing, your audience will need more than a field of dreams to attract their attention. If you’re trying to get more traffic to your website, don’t wait for your local SEO efforts to direct your audience. Give them a hand with these proven content strategies.

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages. Without these essential supports, your ‘content superstructure’ will neither stand strong, nor will it attract the right attention.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

How to Optimize your Content for a Global Audience

The global market is much smaller than it once was.  Statista reports over 5 billion internet users globally, or about 63.1% of the population. Reaching out to a broader market can help your business grow, but it’s not as simple as updating your website in a new language and simply hoping your audience finds you through search.

How to Build a Functional Content Marketing Funnel

Most people don’t wake up and think, “oh, today is the day I buy my new mattress,” unless they’ve researched different brands and checked pricing at different stores. Modern customers often take their time with major (and even minor) purchases. Using that information about today’s shoppers can help you design a content marketing map, or funnel, that guides the customer to your product.
