Editor's Notes
- So what is content marketing?: It looks like a simple process right? You start with analysis and you base your content strategy on it, you produce awesome content, you blast it on social media, you measure the results and the entire process starts again. So basically it’s what we used to call blogging before with a few tweaks to make your website more likeable for Google. And here are some facts!
- So it all looks easy, right? And the data shows so many people are into in! But then how come so many fail. OK, probably exactly the fact that so many people are doing it is the reason that it fails so often. But are there other reasons? So what this presentation aims is to: Warn those of you who are just starting what can go wrong. Pin point possible problems that you might be overlooking if you are already doing content marketing.
- The biggest problem comes from the great expectations many have. And these may not actually always be big but just wrong.
- Since content marketing comes to replace SEO, people believe it should deliver result just as fast. Also since the main goal to CM is to find your customer and bring them to your website, they somehow expect all those people to convert right away. And since it is so hot, it should be all you need to get clients.
- Do you even do social media? Since content marketing came to replace SEO, which was not necessary about social media according to many people it is still hard do understand how important the role of social media is. I was also looking for a meme picture that ironically says: Oh, you are not doing social media, do tell me more! I did not find one so this says a lot - everybody is doing social media, the question is how!
- Lets ask ourselves some questions again: Do you have a SM strategy? - are you shooting in the dark? do you know where your buyers persona hangs out? do you know how to reach them? What is your primarily goal? - are you doing social media only for branding; do you expect leads and conversions; do you Have you chosen the right social media channels? - just because Etsy sells well on Pinterest that is not enough of a reason for you to be there Do these fit in you content marketing strategy? - You might have the right channels but are you producing the right content for them Have you found your voice? - How about paid promotion: Forget organic So basically these are the3 I showed you in the begging and the hard part about it is that if even on of it fails it drags down you whole SM.
