‘What Kind of Content Should I Create?’

'What Kind of Content Should I Create?'

Last week, we talked about how to really understand who is in your audience.

This week, we’re shifting into what kind of message they want and need from you. Brian kicked off on Monday with a piece of classic marketing advice (exemplified by a classic American comic film):

It’s not enough to just know your audience. You also need to put their interests and desires ahead of your own.

That might sound impossibly idealistic — but in fact, it’s pure pragmatism.

On Tuesday, Beth Hayden gave some specific thoughts on how to do it, by creating extraordinarily generous content that can open all kinds of doors for your business.

The Copyblogger FM podcast this week talks about your customer’s path to purchase and how to make it a little more appealing (and effective). I talk about the right places to ask for a sale and how you can discover what kinds of content to create.

In Wednesday’s post, I continued that theme of the content marketing path — taking a winding road through a new persuasion “formula” I’m calling ECUBED. I’d love your thoughts on how you’d tweak or add to that formula — drop by and leave a comment?

Last chance to get an exceptional price on the Rainmaker Platform

By the way, I wanted to remind you that this Friday (that’s tomorrow), January 27, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, the price of the Rainmaker Platform is going to rise significantly.

Sign up at the current lower price and we’ll lock that in for you as long as you keep your site on Rainmaker.

Get started here.

In February, we’ll be holding a special series of educational webinars tailored to Rainmaker owners. So if you do decide to join us on the Platform, you’ll have some very specific, tactical business help to get traction and get your business moving.

Catch you next week!
