What is the alternative to shoving sales
information into people’s faces?
Content Marketing
Content marketing informs your audience with
relevant, entertaining and memorable information
to gain greater visibility and trust that drive sales.
Example:
• Jess does all her own DIY
• Handyman Joe publishes loads of useful
DIY tips on his website
• This helps Jen fix all kinds of things in and
around the house
• Jen now trusts Joe and he becomes her
preferred source of information
• One day Jen faces a problem that is
bigger than she can handle
• Who is she going to call? JOE!
There are three needs your content should
address:
UNDERSTANDING – PROOF – FEEL GOOD
UNDERSTANDING: people want to understand
how things work
PROOF: they want proof that what you’re talking
about really works
FEEL GOOD: they want to have a good
experience – easy, preferable entertaining and
definitely memorable
The content formats to use for each need are:
UNDERSTANDING – InfoGraphics, Blogs,
Articles, Animation and video
PROOF - White papers and case studies
FEEL GOOD - Visual communication and story
telling
The process starts with the creation of great
content.
• Make it different
• Make it useful
• Make it engaging
• Make it memorable
Re-purpose your content into different media
formats for maximum exposure and return on
investment:
Content formats to consider are:
• Video
• Animation
• InfoGraphics
• Slides
• Viral images
• Apps
• Games
• E-books
• PDF Downloads
• Webinars
Get your content to where your prospects and
clients are looking for information by distributing it
across multiple channels.
The Channels are:
• Your website
• YouTube, Vimeo
• Pinterest, Behance, Tumblr
• Slide Share, Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr
• Facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn
• Newsletters
• Events
• App stores
To avoid being overwhelmed, create a step-by-
step Content Marketing Roadmap.
Step 1: Create a piece of stunning content
Step 2: Re-purpose the content in different
formats such as:
• Video
• Infographics
• Presentations
• Posters
Step 3: Distribute the content through the
appropriate channels:
• Video – YouTube & Vimeo
• Infographics – Pinterest, Behance & Tumbler
• Presentations – SlideShare and Pinterest
• Posters – Facebook, Twitter, Google+ &
LinkedIn
There are four key tasks you need to perform:
• Engage in conversations with prospects and
clients
• Collect information on prospects and clients
• Measure and analyse the content performance
• Listen, learn and continue to publish great
content
All this activity has four purposes:
• To become a thought leader
• To build relationships based on trust
• Improve your search engine ranking
• To give prospects the opportunity to enter your
sales funnel
When the time is right a prospect will give you
permission to engage in a sales conversation.
On average, B2B marketers are spending 33% of
their marketing budgets on content marketing.
54% say they will increase their content
marketing spending in the next 12 months
9/10
Nine out of ten B2B marketers will be producing
more content this year.
Which brings us back to the information overload
problem.
The answer?
Create a great Content Brand
• Outstanding quality
• Consistent look
• Strong differentiation
• Totally engaging
• Prolific publishing
A great Content Brand is self maximising – each
published piece builds on top those before it,
growing your fan base.
People will like your content and tell other people
who will like your content. And they will tell others
and so on…
In this way you significantly increase the
likelihood of being at the right place at the right
time when a prospect requires your services.
