What is GOOD content?
When small business owners put themselves out there, they tend to jump on selling. For weeks now, we’ve been saying that content marketing is not about you, but about your audience and their journey.
Thus, good content marketing is not about selling.
3 points content marketing must hit home
Content marketing is about…
Likability
Do you bring distinctive value to your audience? Do you connect on an emotional level with your audience? Or are you just presenting your products and services in the hope that people will take notice?
Credibility
How are you leveraging your online and offline presence as an expert in your field? How are you proving you’re the best in your industry? That you are what you say you are – an expert.
Authority
How do you square with your competitors? Do you rank higher than them in reviews? Do you occasionally write in a blog about your passion?
Businesses, beware
Be aware that today’s shopper can buy anything, anywhere, anytime, anyhow from anybody in the world. And before they know you, they need to find you, like you and trust you.
But how can they commit to liking you and trusting you if they have yet to buy your product or service? Well, it’s important that they try you. Even when they made up their minds, they rather try you first instead of buying from you right a way.
Use no-obligation statements that reduce risk. In many cases, they’ll first ask for a free trial rather than a purchase right away.
In short, good content is not about what you want to sell
It’s about why people would buy from you. Here are some reasons why today’s shoppers would buy from you:
- You have a good reputation, the world is saying good things about you via review sites such as Google, Yelp, and Facebook.
- You are socially active and responsible.
- You have a cause, you’re clearly not selling.
- You educate – this makes you authentic.
- You’re personal, the real meal deal.
- You are transparent, you are an authority in your marketplace.
- You speak, you write, and you have an online presence.
When your content marketing is not doing half or all of this, there’s a high chance your audience is buying from your competitor.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 0px 0px 45px;”][cs_row inner_container=”false” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ class=”cs-ta-center” style=”padding: 0px;”][x_line style=”border-top-color: hsl(35, 100%, 54%);border-top-width: 5px;”][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”false” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h2″ accent=”false” style=”margin-top: 35px;”]Like what you’re reading?[/x_custom_headline][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h4″ accent=”false” style=”margin-top: 15px;”] Check out the latest in the Marketing Minute…[/x_custom_headline][x_gap size=”50px”][x_recent_posts type=”post” count=”3″ offset=”” category=”Marketing Minute” orientation=”horizontal” no_sticky=”true” no_image=”false” fade=”false”][x_gap size=”1.313em”][x_button size=”global” block=”false” circle=”false” icon_only=”false” href=”https://jawdropmarketing.com/category/marketing-minute/” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””]SEE ALL MARKETING MINUTES[x_icon type=”hand-o-right” class=”mvn mls mrn”][/x_button][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”false” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ class=”cs-ta-center” style=”padding: 0px;”][x_line style=”border-top-color: hsl(35, 100%, 54%);border-top-width: 5px;”][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”false” marginless_columns=”true” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ class=”cs-ta-center” style=”padding: 0px;margin-top: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h2″ accent=”false” style=”margin-top: 25px;”]Don’t miss a minute of it…[/x_custom_headline][x_image type=”none” src=”https://jawdropmarketing.com/wp-content/uploads/H-Color-1000px.png” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=”” style=”width: 40%;”][cs_text class=”cs-ta-center”]It’s a quick, action packed minute full of juicy information that comes once a week.
