Content Marketing Tips: 6 Best Ways to Generate More Leads
Nowadays everybody is trying his luck in content marketing and many freelancers are giving content marketing services in cheap rates. However, content marketing is not cheap, its the real business and we can generate thousands of leads just by publishing articles.
Still, there is big gap and we have to learn a lot more about content marketing. As new digital marketers take it wrong I want to describe the definition of content marketing here: Content marketing is about creating or curating content on a selected topic and publishing on a relative website/blog to introduce a product or service to new audience and clients.
If you are still not aware of how you can do content marketing and generate more leads than read through the best tips and create your plan so it will skyrocket your online business:
1. Create a Blog or a List
First of all, you have to have a great blog in the name of yourself or your company. Because you have to start content marketing from your own blog and do experiments with it. Your own blog will give you the freedom to try different tactics and apply strategies to see what type of marketing works for your service or product. If you are not aware of what type of content drives more sales to your products or packages then you will not be successful in content marketing even with outreach to other bloggers.For example, if you are running a web hosting company then try to have a blog on your domain like example.com/blog, and start posting about hosting related tips and issues. You can offer free WordPress installation services on your blog and give free WordPress tips to your readers.
Take the example of SEMrush they publish new articles daily and thus they can drive more sales from those SEO-related and content marketing-related articles.
On the other hand, if you can't create a blog or are afraid of writing initial content then don't worry, you can create a list. Yes, just create a list of top blogs in your network and contact their owners - make relations with them and ask them to add you as an author on their blogs so you can post regular content and have your business website link there.
