WHY INBOUND IS THE FUTURE:
Joining the Content Revolution
LESSON 1
We have
supercomputers
in our pockets.
Cars that can
drive themselves.
Watches that can
call people.
Yet we’re still using the same
advertising methods that were
invented in the 50s.
You know the
commercials.
A spokesperson
comes on TV,
demonstrates a
product and explains
its benefits.
Then he
closes hard
with a call-to-
action and
offers you a
bunch of
useless stuff
if you order
today.
Since the advent of the Internet, direct
outbound sales approaches like this
have become less and less effective.
Before the
Internet, our
media was limited
and controlled.
Advertisers had
the power to reach
people at scale
and the audience
had no choice but
to listen.
But now
people have
the option
to choose
how they
consume
their media.
With billions of channels and a variety
of devices, your audience has 99
problems but more content isn’t one.
As a result, the power has shifted
from the advertiser to the consumer.
You’re dealing with the smartphone-
wielding, smartwatch-wearing,
super-consumer of the future.
You can’t
trick them
with phony
sales
techniques.
You can’t manipulate them through
traditional marketing channels.
And you can’t waste their time
with outdated sales techniques
If you want
to reach
them you’re
going to
have to be
smarter.
More strategic.
More imaginative.
Because it’s estimated the
average person sees over 20,000
advertisements each day. 
This leaves your brand
with a choice.
You can try to buy
your audience's
attention by investing
in the traditional,
dying sales channels.
Or you can earn your audience’s
attention by investing in your
own channel. 
You can steal your audience’s
attention with interruptive ads.
Or you can add value to their
life with creative content.
You can talk at your audience
and annoy them.
Or you can talk to your audience
and connect with them.
You can join the
content revolution.
Or you can be tuned out. 
The strategy is simple.
Find a way to improve
your audience’s life.
Don’t
sell.
Give
back.
Don’t
manipulate.
Add
value.
FOR EXAMPLE
Maybe it’s a story your audience
can relate to and draw
inspiration from.
Or maybe it’s a blog post,
ebook, or infographic that
they find useful.
Or maybe it’s
just a funny
Vine that
appeals to their
sense of humor.
It all depends on who your
target market is, and what
makes them click.
But there is one
thing for sure.
If you can find a way to add real
value to your audience's life.
And help them become better
versions of themselves.
They will
remember
you for it.
They will trust you
because of it.
And will be MUCH
more likely to go into
business with you.
In fact, brands
using content
marketing save an
average of $14 per
new customer
acquired.
And Inbound marketing
delivers 54% more leads on
average than traditional
outbound marketing.
How &
why?
IN LESSON 2
I break down the psychology
of content marketing.
And show
you how to
use human
nature to win
the future of
business.
