Ready to level up your content marketing? Here are some tips to get you started:
Build Trust with Consistency
The key to a better content marketing campaign is undoubtedly consistency. Why? Because it builds trust. If every piece of content you produce has a similar message and is conveyed in the same tone, it gives the impression that your company is being absolutely honest. It also helps to build connection and create a strong brand identity which seems to be coming from one source rather than a big team of randoms. To achieve this effect you could hire one writer to take care of all your content needs or use document automation software to ensure that all of your team stay on brand – it doesn’t matter as long as consistency is the final outcome.
Write on Related Content
As well as producing content relating to the specific niche you are in if you want to up your content marketing game, it makes sense to also produce content on closely related topics too. Why? Because the people who are interested in your products and services are likely to be interested in those related niches too, so by covering both bases, you can increase your niche without too much extra effort.
Don’t Be Afraid to Create Content That Sells
Where so many businesses go wrong is that they are afraid to produce content that goes in for the sale in any way at all. This is understandable because you want to make your audience feel like they are getting value rather than being milked for their value. However, you do need to make sales and it is possible to give value while making a sales pitch too. Webinars are pretty good for this because you can use them to teach your audience something, giving a very soft sales pitch at the end, and because you’ve provided so much content, no one will mind.
Answer One Question Well
Creating content that goes into great depth and answers one particular question very well can be better than a general piece that answers lots of questions. Why? Because most people, when they search, search for the answer to one specific question, and because most companies don’t already create content that goes into great depth covering any and every point possible. If you can do this and do it well, it could produce amazing results.
Tell a Story
Stories are better at drawing people in and making them pay attention than pretty much any other type of content, so whether you’re writing about choosing the best printer ink or backpacking in Australia, turn your content into a story for better results.
Getting your content marketing strategy right takes some trial and error, but if you incorporate the above ideas into the mix, you should see a real improvement.
