Quick question:

How many of your readers would say that they actually trust you?

Trust your opinions. Trust your knowledge. Trust your intentions.

Difficult question to answer, right?

A few years ago, I asked myself this same question.

I thought to myself “Why would anyone trust me and what I have to say? After all, I’m not well known and readers may favour tips from people with more experience, knowledge and authority.”

Boy — was I wrong.

I learned that even though trust is a hard thing to gain, it’s developed if you continuously work at it. And because I did, opportunities opened up.

I made several key connections. My blog is growing steadily. And people started to trust me — and more importantly, the advice I share about business growth and content marketing.

You can achieve the same thing.

My goal with this article is to provide you with proven strategies that’ll put you on the express lane of getting your readers to trust you. And loving your content in the process.

Having an email database of customers is an incredibly valuable resource for any business. So much communication is done through email now, making it an inexpensive, fast and easy way to get a message through to interested people. The effectiveness of each email message, however, is all dependent on how well you’re able to convert those sent messages to clicks and buys.

Increase Email Marketing Conversion Rates

There are some important details that cannot be overlooked when you’re composing and sending out email marketing campaigns. Making an error in any of these areas could mean you’ll be seeing a much lower conversion rate than you would have otherwise had. Increase your email marketing conversion rates quickly, simply by following these five tips.

Your About Me/About page is the face of your brand. Besides the homepage, it’s arguably the second most visited page on your site. This is because people want to see the human side of your business and connect with what your company does. Building this relationship is critical to keep people engaged.

Browse the About pages of your favourite sites and consider how you feel about them. Are they inviting? Do they seem casual yet professional? Effective About pages balance the formal and informal to create a humanistic and relatable page. Let your personality shine by looking at these nine styles and real-world examples to help get you started.

Back in March, we were having a problem with our Site’s Traffic numbers. They just weren’t growing as fast we wanted. This is a typical problem faced by most business owners or site admins and one that’s widely covered online. For reference, a quick search on Google on how to boost your site’s traffic will give you over 4.100,000 results. 4 Million search results (!) with no way to know which ones actually work and which ones are going to end up a colossal waste of time and money.

Since we knew that we had to do something really drastic to kick it up a notch (and without breaking the bank in the process), we didn’t rely on the traditional approach of advertising or waiting for traditional SEO to take effect.

We decided to turn to Content, but with a twist. And to keep things interesting, threw ourselves a challenge to get 5,000 unique visitors to the piece of content we develop and to get that number within 7 days of it’s publishing. The content asset we created was truly something special and after the 7 day deadline was up, we found that we had not only met our own target but exceeded it twice over with lots of good links to boot! Most amazing of all, the content asset became an evergreen one and continues to send amazing traffic and links our way.

Here’s the inside scoop of what we did and how we can help you do the same for your own website.

Challenge #1: The Idea

Content Promotion starts much before you publish a piece of content. There are few things you should consider doing before publishing your content and after publishing your content.

Here is a summary of the points mentioned in the video:

Post – Publishing Phase

Step 3 – Internal Linking

Step 4 – Outreach
Reach out to the influencers you’ve identified in step 1 notifying them about the post. Alternatively, try to build some links back to by offering to guest post on other authoritative blogs.

Step 5 – Newsletter
Leverage your captive audience by sending out a newsletter to them updating them about the newly published piece of content.

Step 6 – Social Channels

Understanding the Buyer’s Journey in B2B Marketing: The Key to Creating Great Content

The presence of content marketing in the daily life of a consumer has increased drastically in recent years. In fact, 76% of B2C marketers and 88% of B2B marketers implement content strategy into their marketing mix, according to the Content Marketing Institute. However, while many businesses are making use of content marketing, it does not necessarily mean that they are successful at it.

In order to implement an effective content marketing campaign that amplifies your content, it is essential that you create content for each stage of the buyer’s journey. A buyer goes through 3 different stages (awareness, consideration, and decision) before making a purchase. By tailoring your content to potential buyers in each stage of the journey, you are more likely to turn leads for your business into repeat customers.

What is Content Marketing Really About?

In its simplest form, content marketing is the creation and distribution of content. However, it’s really much more than that. In order for content to truly do its job (i.e. “drive profitable customer action”), it needs to be relevant to the buyer that it is intended for. Essentially, a successful content marketing campaign is one that provides value to a specific target.

So how do you make sure your content is relevant for your target audience? Enter the three stages of the buyer’s journey!

The Awareness Stage

When potential buyers are in the awareness stage, they have just identified an issue or need. In order to engage with buyers in this first stage, your content should bring awareness to a specific problem before aligning this problem with various business-specific issues.

To help the customers better understand this issue or need, it’s important to stick to contentthat is educational and can provide further insight. This is not the time to introduce your product – that comes later. For now, the best way to provide value to buyers in the awareness stage is by demonstrating your knowledge on what their pain points are.
