AREYOU “ALL IN”?
This is especially true for inbound marketing.
Be prepared, though, because it usually takes a little time to begin seeing
results.The longer you go all in with inbound, the more momentum you
build, but early on in the process it may not be a completely
satisfying experience.

WHAT IS INBOUND MARKETING?
Inbound vs outbound marketing can best be described in terms of pushing and pulling.
Outbound — what we think of as traditional marketing — is all about pushing,
getting in people’s faces and interrupting.You do this usingTV, radio and print
advertising mostly.You shove your message out to as many people as possible — never
mind if they’re actually interested in your product or service.
As you can guess, there are a few problems with this method. It’s intrusive. It’s
expensive.And, thanks to technology, it just doesn’t work as well as it once did.

WHAT IS INBOUND MARKETING?
Inbound, on the other hand, is all about pulling.You attract an audience by
making yourself available to people who ARE interested in your product or service,
giving them the information they’re looking for and letting them approach you.
And you do this primarily using three tools: content, search engine
optimization and social media.

ALL IN WITH CONTENT
The first thing you need to do is get inside the heads of the people
who buy your product or service.What do they want or need to know
before they buy?Then you give them that information in the form of
content like blog posts, videos, podcasts, etc. You aren’t selling. You’re
providing useful information. You’re providing thought leadership
and, by association, you’re proving that you know your stuff.

ALL IN WITH SEO
So, now you have all this great content — but if you don’t use advertising
to get found how do you connect prospects to the content? Search
engine optimization, that’s how.You do your research, and you figure out
which terms people are using to look for the kind of content you have
created.Then you optimize the content with those keywords so the
search engines will find it and display it when people look for what
you provide.This is how you connect with the right audience.

ALL IN WITH SOCIAL MEDIA
Great content created. Check. SEO in place. Check. So why do you need social media?
Distribution and synergy.
Birds of a feather stick together, right? By providing and distributing links to your useful
and optimized content you are building a loyal following on social media.They all have
friends, some of whom haven’t found you yet but might want what your company
offers.
And when people hear about you from their friends you have instant credibility.
