Why are we writing about
unfamiliar subjects?
B2B content marketing is on the rise: 91% of CMI survey
respondents at B2B orgs are doing content marketing.
56% of B2B orgs outsource some or all of their content
creation.

Four questions to answer
about your technical content
Who are you writing for & what is their problem?
How will your content solve their problem?
In what format will you deliver your content?
How will you distribute & promote your content?
Who are you writing for &
what is their problem?
Questions to ask your client (or other industry expert):
What business goal do you want this content to help you achieve?
Who is the person we need to reach to achieve this business goal?
What is/are our target audience goal(s)?
What problem is our target experiencing that we can help with?
What do we want our target to do next?
How will your content
solve their problem?
AKA deciding what to write about
Research for this step should happen where the experts already hang out online.
> Forums
> Trade publications
> Hashtags
> Competing content
> Reading the comments
You have to do the research, but you don’t have to
know everything.
Your content doesn’t have
to BE the expert.
It has to act as a gateway
TO the expert.
Positioning yourself as yet
another “expert” won’t make
your content stand out.
Infographic or chart comparing Technology A to
Technology B
Sample project timeline for service providers or
suppliers / pre-project checklist
Case study illustrating how your client solved a unique
problem
ROI calculator tool
In what format will you
deliver your content?
How much do you have to say?
How much information do you need from the prospect?
How is your prospect most likely to consume content?
How will you follow up on your content?
How will you distribute &
promote your content?
Use LinkedIn for targeted distribution Retarget where appropriate
Piggyback on relevant events Reach out to influencers
Pay for publication C-Suite outreach
Go back to where you found the original question
In summary:
Know who needs to read your content.
Discover the real questions they’re asking.
Do enough research to know what you’re talking about,
but don’t waste time becoming a universal expert.
Answer a real question and be more helpful than
anyone else.
Consider the context.
Know your next steps.
