Editor's Notes
Over 90% of consumers use the internet as part of their decision-making process. If you are not there, you may get left out of the buying process.

And thatâs why I believe that content marketing needs to be the core of your marketing program, which will be the engine of your entire marketing program. Content marketing is the art of understanding what your customers need to know and delivering it to them in a compelling way.

So, what do you have to do? Ask this question before, during and after the content creation process. "How can our business help their business be more successful?" While the âStrategicâ component of your content relates directly to your business, the âBehavioral,â âEssential,â and âTargetedâ components are all about your reader. Place your B.E.T.s Demographics : What generation are they a part of? How comfortable are they with technology? How are they used to getting information? What are their trust issues? Psychographics : Are they in a logical or emotional frame of mind? How much information do they need? What calls to action will spur interest? How immediate is their need? Their Story : Why are they coming to your at this particular time? Whatâs their motivation? What problem are they trying to solve? What pain are they trying to erradicate? Are they new or returning visitors? Your Offering : How will you guide them toward solving their problem?
Anything you create needs to have the possibility of spreading. Have you ever seen people spread around a print ad, or an online display ad? Probably not. Create information that people talk about.
