Content VS Marketing
If you follow a lot of bloggers online you will always here a lot of talk about creating great content and probably also quite a lot about Search Engine Optimization or SEO as well.
Now I am sure lots of different bloggers and internet marketers have lots of opinions on this subject. Personally I believe you need to have both some good content not necessarily yours and a great marketing strategy to get eyes on your business.
I believe one without the other is kinda like a car without wheels, or a car without an engine. It doesn’t matter how great your content is but if no one sees it then there is very little chance of you getting any business or branding from it.
I hear people talking all the time about blogging daily but the big question is are you just blogging daily. Or are you blogging and marketing like a madman or madwoman daily.. This is what often separates the winners from the losers. Of course your call to action and content needs to make sense too. And appeal to the WIIFM What’s in it for me question as well..
Let’s be honest with ourselves when people join our business it’s not because they think we are cool!! It’s because of what they can see in it for them to join our business at the end of the day. Be it more money, more freedom or more time or whatever your product or service will give them..
Another great question to ask yourself when you visit a blog post you have made is the So What question!!
This is a great product!! So what
ABC company has been in business a gazillion years.. So what..
Want to get rid of that itch you have been having thats kept you up for the last three nights?? Yes Please
Do your blog posts or statements make people say so what?
Or does it give them what they are really looking for. If it is so what!! And you do not answer that question then the likelyhood of them buying something from you on this visit or even the next one is mighty slim..
As well as liking you which can also of course help.
People wanting or seeing the need that they have fulfilled, and or the benefits that having your product or service will give them is extremely important!!
What can your product or service do for them?
Some examples that many people would want will be …
1.More Free Time
2.More Money
3. More Time to spend with family
4.Being able to travel more
5.Be happier
6.Better Relationships
7.Feel Good
