Editor's Notes
- CMO of a Valuer.ai – Valuer connects startups with corporations Co-founded 5 startups 11+ years experience Published a few marketing ebooks Consulted on SEO/SEM for 4+ years Mentor, startup junkie, technical marketer, and growth hacker
- Complete the Success Online Digital Learning Process and get a certificate from Google and IAB here: g.co/succesonline
- https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/319550
- I’m HERE for FREE – simply to provide value to you because it was so rare when that happened to me. *Questions throughout are cool- sometimes I’ll cover it later. Sometimes I won’t Don’t be that guy. There’s almost always one. Don’t be that guy.
- How many students? How many are currently working? How many entrepreneurs?
- If you understand one system really well, you can start to apply it to others. Don’t worry if it’s not easy at first. You’ll get better. Your first blog post isn’t as good as your 10th and that’s not as good as your 100th
- Why is content important / what is it?
- 105+ types of content http://www.convinceandconvert.com/content-marketing/content-to-fill-calendar/
- Why behind the why? – What’s the point? Discovery Awareness Legitimizes your business and your expertise Benefits of good content: Referral Traffic Backlinks + Linking domains Keywords+ Higher DR rating = more likely to show up in SERP Social Media and Reach Branding GOAL is to drive sales/leads
- Social Currency: We share stuff to sound cool and smart Triggers: Things that give us a kneejerk reaction + stuff that’s relevant to us + stuff that we think about often and might realize it Emotion: Sad / happy (motivational) – this shit sells Public: Something we all share and know – think Copenhagen + biking Practical value: Something you can use Stories: Narratives The best content: -Amuses / Entertains -Teaches / Educates -Answers questions / Solves a problem -Gets a reaction -VALUE Here’s an example of what most startups do. This doesn’t work: One more thing on this topic: we constantly see startups struggle with the question of whether they should post “internal startup stuff” or “content for the audience.” In our case: “Should we post a photo of the last pitch event that we presented at to keep our audience “up-to-date”?” - The answer is: “No, our audience doesn’t care. They are all travelers: all they want to see is travel hacks and inspiring quotes. They aren’t entrepreneurs.” Post that photo from your pitch event on your personal profile, not on your startup page.
- Content must appeal most to our buyer personas: Know who you are writing for! Ask yourself + potential customers: Who will buy your product or service? What are their pain points? What are the most common questions you get? What are the industry secrets? What do people in your own industry struggle with understanding? What other topics do people in your industry find interesting?
- You will not find every customer at the spark moment: Spark: “I need to find XXXX software” -Diverse content -Hitting different perspectives -Providing Value Blog articles should not be entirely be top of funnel: -Case Studies + Interviews -Buyer Guides -Future Predictions -Templates What is inbound Marketing? https://www.struto.co.uk/what-is-inbound-marketing
- 8-20 exposures to your product before purchase: https://onlinemlmcommunity.com/how-many-exposures-do-most-prospects-need-before-they-buy-from-you/ https://successfulsoftware.net/2010/06/03/do-customers-need-to-see-an-advertisement-seven-times/ You will not find every customer at the spark moment: Spark: “I need to find internal communication software” -Diverse content -Hitting different perspectives -Providing Value What is inbound Marketing? https://www.struto.co.uk/what-is-inbound-marketing
- Dollarshave club: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUG9qYTJMsI Team Building Games: https://wheniwork.com/blog/team-building-games/ -3.1M visitors in under 2 years -100.000+ keywords ranked Capterra: I got more free leads from 1 piece of content in 3 months than I did from all other sources combined in 6 months Elon Musks Resume: https://novoresume.com/career-blog/elon-musk-one-page-resume What would prefer 100 articles that get 10 unique visitors a month or 5 article that drive 1000 visitors a month?
- 80/20 Rule of Content – The Pareto Principle: 80% of alcohol is consumed by 20% of the population Sales: 80% of sales come from 20% of the team Customer success: 20% of the features are used by 80% of the customers 80% of the traffic comes from 20% of the content
- Use these tools for curation of helpful interesting content Use your keywords: https://answerthepublic.com/ Follow Influencers, competitors, publishers, etc Or Build a list of potential articles: https://backlinko.com/skyscraper-technique -Build a list of Competitors and Publishers in your niche -Export all articles from competitors & publishers -Highlight the most interesting/best top posts that you want to write Use the best of the scrapped “potential articles” as inspiration and write better content -Longer content -More detailed coverage -More resources -Images, videos, lists, guides, audio, downloadable, etc

- Largest Audience Most daily active users Remove Users still spend about 950 million hours on Facebook each day. 1.4 billion daily active users The average monthly user spends 27 minutes per day in the app 50% of 18-24 year-olds go on Facebook when they wake up. https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/02/06/people-still-spend-an-absurd-amount-of-time-on-fac.aspx https://zephoria.com/top-15-valuable-facebook-statistics/ --- From the checklist guide: --- Facebook What is Facebook? On Facebook, you can communicate as a business via your own wall or respond to someone else's review of your business or product on other pages. By creating content that is fun, enlightening or creating a different value for users, you can try to get others to share the content you provide. Why is it important? On the profile wall, you as a company can pinpoint the direction of communication, but generally you should be aware that communication on social media is on the user's premises. Therefore, it is also a good idea to follow the review of your business through tools such as Mention or Hootsuite. What should I be aware of? Have visible contact information and opening hours. Fill out information about the company's goals and vision - it creates credibility. Make a plan for production and publishing of content. Prioritize monitoring of social media so that customer inquiries are answered. It is important to answer all customer requests and with a quick response. Make a strategy for how to react if communication on social media takes a negative turn. Do not as a business to contact private users on their wall. It can be perceived as cross-border. How do I get on? If it makes sense for your business, then create a business profile and fill in all relevant information, such as contact info, opening hours and goals / vision. Checklist questions Does your business have a purpose of being on Facebook? Have you prepared a plan for production and publishing of content?
- Tips for More Engagement If you’re writing lists tag people! Use the @Button Try putting the link to anything in the first comment – TEST IT! Tag Influencers / Pages / Friends / Colleagues Early Engagement wins the day

- What REALLY Matters? -Conversions > Traffic -Engagement > Followers -ROI > Sign Ups
- Success with content is HARD. Every niche is different. Don’t expect to walk in and take over quick
- Let’s take examples of content that you can boost – Use ahrefs
- Use templates to repurpose blog content -stuff that doesn’t rank perfectly can be re-released again and again to boost engagement Make videos of the stuff that worked to drive content and re-release it: Guides, how-to, expert etc
- Lead Capturing: Convertful ConvertFox LeadPages MailChimp Linkedin + Facebook Leadgen forms – CTA – Download – Then autosend download link
- Met too many CMOs that have never run a single adwords, facebook/linkedin campaign I’ve met too many entry-level marketers that claim they have worked on adwords, facebook/linkedin campaign More IDEA GUY STUFF: We could sit in a room for another 3 hours and come up with the future DO THE WORK. Hustle Mindset: Nobody got rich without putting in the work Exceptions: Lottery winners, bank robbers/assholes, and people that inherit money. There are no shortcuts but the journey/experience teaches you the best way to recognize good business partners, better footholds during the climb, and better optimization to avoid pitfalls in the future.
- Recognize what you deem to be unfair and ask yourself why We all have to do NOT-FUN stuff Break your frustrations down to their simplest parts Use Negativity as momentum. Not everyone’s final job is the one they have right now.
