Be Smart: Create Attainable Goals
You cannot start content marketing without
goals and some way to determine if you have
met your goals.
Goals are what give your content direction.
You should have multiple, defined goals.
Be Smart: Things to Think About
(Before Hand)
What internal obstacles do you have to
overcome?
(Who do you need to convince or educate? Do you have
the budget? Have a social presence?)
Can you achieve your goal? How will you
do that?
(What steps do you need to take now to increase odds
of success?)
Be Smart: Things to Think About
(Before Hand)
How will you use social?
Research, planning & strategy.
Your Team?
Do you need an internal team or
do you need to outsource or both?
How will you measure the effectiveness
of your marketing strategies?
Be Smart: Know Your Audience
Know your audience(s). Not knowing what they need or
want can lead to disaster.
Be Smart: Get to Know Your Audience(s)
Research your audience!
Social: Engage / discuss in a
friendly manner (DON’T sell!)
http://slidesha.re/19iDcxg
Surveys
Polls
Create contests
Read comments on blogs, videos
and social shares (Topsy.com).
Engage with your offline audience
too. Use this data.
Be Smart: Create Trust
Be Smart: Who You Are Matters
Inform without selling.!
• Why would I want / need your product or
service?
(Break this down for each product or service, WITHOUT SELLING)
• Why should I trust, like or remember you?
• Why are you different or better than your
competitor?
• What can you offer me?
Be Aggressive:
Even Big Businesses are Doing It!
Many businesses still do not understand the
importance of content marketing, but it is time to get
started and be aggressive!
Aggressive Doesn’t Mean Confrontational
Be Aggressive: Change the
Company Mindset
You have to change the thinking of those around you.
Educate everyone in your company, not just the decision
makers.
If everyone understands the “why” you have a better shot
at changing things.
Show them how to integrate your online and offline
strategies.
Be Aggressive & Be Creative
Use a combination of content marketing methods and
measure their individual & combined effectiveness.
• What works?
• What doesn’t?
• What has to happen to reach “audience A” and what has
to be different for “audience B”?
Test, measure, retest!!!
Failure or a lack of success is not bad; it is a learning
opportunity. Keep trying until you find what works!
Be Aggressive: Some Content Options
Study – what are the best options for your
business?
Articles/Blogs – Quality, interesting, educational, should create a
need.
Guides – Create something your audience can use & want to share.
Images/Illustrations – Impactful, unforgettable, shareable!
Infographics – You need a quality design with valuable information!
Video – Should be interesting, not too long, give the viewer something
& have quality visual and sound.
White Papers/Case Studies – Useful, educational, no obvious
selling.
Know When You Can’t Win
Sometimes you can’t have exactly what
you want, but you CAN have a modification
of it.
Example: Sarasota Real Estate vs. Sarasota Waterfront Homes
Think beyond your industry buzz words.
Focus on the keywords your customer would
know and use.
Personality: Tigers Have it In
SpadesMost people say tigers all look a like.
Some would say the same about most businesses.
Personality: Show it Quickly
• Offer something interesting quickly!
• The initial “draw” pulls them in…create trust.
• Become unforgettable!
• Be real. (see tiger design)
• Separate yourself!
• Don’t be boring!!!!!
This is Thor
Tips for Getting Started
Focus on immediate & long-term ROI.
Be diverse; offer more than just copy.
Create a following on social by building
relationships with the audience.
(What do they like? You have to give to your audience!)
Tips for Getting Started
Give to your audience; what do they need to know?
Blog, blog some more and guest blog on quality sites!!!!!!!!!
Quality, UNIQUE writing is a must!
Don’t be cheap! You get what you pay for!
Quality content marketing efforts should be a long-term
investment.
**Engagement is not about sales pitches. Educate and give;
don’t sell.
Tips for Getting Started: Example
Create what people need or want.
Explain EVERYTHING and educate in an easy and
attractive way.
Lastly…You Can Do This!
Branding, exposure & meeting needs should be goals.
Be Smart!
Discover your
audience(s)!
Engage!
Be creative!
Don’t quit!
Remember failing is
just an opportunity!

  • 9. Be Smart: Create Attainable Goals You cannot start content marketing without goals and some way to determine if you have met your goals. Goals are what give your content direction. You should have multiple, defined goals.
  • 10. Be Smart: Things to Think About (Before Hand) What internal obstacles do you have to overcome? (Who do you need to convince or educate? Do you have the budget? Have a social presence?) Can you achieve your goal? How will you do that? (What steps do you need to take now to increase odds of success?)
  • 11. Be Smart: Things to Think About (Before Hand) How will you use social? Research, planning & strategy. Your Team? Do you need an internal team or do you need to outsource or both? How will you measure the effectiveness of your marketing strategies?

Social: Engage / discuss in a friendly manner (DON’T sell!) http://slidesha.re/19iDcxg Surveys Polls Create contests Read comments on blogs, videos and social shares (Topsy.com). Engage with your offline audience too. Use this data.
  • 15. Be Smart: Who You Are Matters Inform without selling.! • Why would I want / need your product or service? (Break this down for each product or service, WITHOUT SELLING) • Why should I trust, like or remember you? • Why are you different or better than your competitor? • What can you offer me?
  • 16.

  • 18. Aggressive Doesn’t Mean Confrontational
  • 19. Be Aggressive: Change the Company Mindset You have to change the thinking of those around you. Educate everyone in your company, not just the decision makers. If everyone understands the “why” you have a better shot at changing things. Show them how to integrate your online and offline strategies.
  • 20. Be Aggressive & Be Creative Use a combination of content marketing methods and measure their individual & combined effectiveness. • What works? • What doesn’t? • What has to happen to reach “audience A” and what has to be different for “audience B”? Test, measure, retest!!! Failure or a lack of success is not bad; it is a learning opportunity. Keep trying until you find what works!
  • 21. Be Aggressive: Some Content Options Study – what are the best options for your business? Articles/Blogs – Quality, interesting, educational, should create a need. Guides – Create something your audience can use & want to share. Images/Illustrations – Impactful, unforgettable, shareable! Infographics – You need a quality design with valuable information!

  • 28. Tips for Getting Started Give to your audience; what do they need to know? Blog, blog some more and guest blog on quality sites!!!!!!!!! Quality, UNIQUE writing is a must! Don’t be cheap! You get what you pay for! Quality content marketing efforts should be a long-term investment. **Engagement is not about sales pitches. Educate and give; don’t sell.

Editor's Notes

  1. Tigers don’t just see and attack. They sit back and they watch and learn all that they can before going after what they want.
  2. Be cunning and learn everything you can before you start. You must watch and learn their strategies. Where do they win? Where do they fail? How do they rank in search engines? How many people link to them? ( http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ ) What are they ranking for? What do you want to rank for? Do they have a strong presence online? ( http://freshwebexplorer.seomoz.o rg/ )
  3. There are many tools available online that will allow you to collect data on your Competitors:
  4. Eliminate industry buzzwords and focus on what your audiences will be searching for.
  5. What is the point of your content marketing? Is it to increase brand awareness? Sell a specific product or service? Examples: Reach & engage with 30 single working mothers. 15% more hotel reservations using April’s coupon code. Engage audience and collect 10 common questions to answer on our blog
  6. Things every business should think about before creating content marketing strategies: 1- Who do you need to convince or educate in your company? Do you have the budget? 2- Is goal achievable? Take steps now to make sure it is.
  7. Do you have a team in place that you can trust to do the job right and on time?
  8. What will attract or offend your audience. You should know this.
  9. Get to know them so you can appeal to them with the right type of content marketing! What entertains them? What are they looking for? How old are they? What can’t they live without? Locations? What makes them trust? What do they need? Want? What makes them share? Which social platforms do they use? Etc…
  10. Who are you and what are you about? What type of educational information can you provide to me to make me trust or choose you? Focus on interesting, educational info that creates trust  This influences sales!!!! Make who you are abundantly clear to your targeted audience(s)… Trust is a critical part of investing in a company or product.
  11. You have to create trust so you need to educate your audience on who you are. Who are you? What do you do?
  12. Tell your boss (or yourself if you are the boss) that your company can no longer wait to get in the content marketing game! Tell them this is your opportunity to reach your audience, create trust, meet their needs and convert!
  13. Tigers are smart enough to know (most of the time) when they cannot win and when the losses may be too great. They know when to walk away. They learn after the first failure.
  14. Each one of these cats initially looks the same, but as you look closer they are all different. I can also tell you that their personalities alone make it easy for us to know them from a distance. What is going to make you recognizable or memorable? Content marketing can allow you to separate yourself from your competitors. Become unforgettable.
  15. People are in a rush! They are working and popping in and out of social and if you want to grab their attention you must do it quickly! Own your quirks. Your uniqueness will make you stand out. Use what you love to make yourself more human when engaging online. Separate yourself from your competitors
  16. You want to invest in marketing that is going to last.
