Do you have trouble quickly and easily finding marketing content that engages your audience?
I hear this from 99% of my new clients and trust me, it doesn’t have to be that way.
On one hand, there’s so much marketing content available, but on the other hand…how do you sort through it fast to find what’s going to be most effective to engage with your audience?
But first let’s step back for a moment. Here’s why engaging marketing content is important:
- * It positions you as an expert in your field.
- * It positions you as a thought leader.
- * It differentiates you and your brand.
- * It allows your audience to know, like and trust you.
So how do you find the marketing content that’s going to do all these things for you?
Below are some of the resources I suggest all smart entrepreneurs and business owners use to find marketing content that engages their audience:
1. Industry Leaders. If you’re on Twitter, create lists of industry leaders you can quickly reference for content that will engage your audience. If you’re not yet on Twitter, use LinkedIn Pulse (updated March 24, 2015) and the Influencers or Company Pages. On FaceBook, follow industry leaders. Notice which updates have been retweeted and shared the most for an indication of what’s most engaging.
2. Google Alerts. Create alerts for your audience keywords and have the best results sent to you daily. Then, when you’re looking for content, scan the emails for what’s been recently picked up by Google. The advantage here is that it’s already been vetted by Google.
3. Industry Publications. Look at the blogs, Twitter/FaceBook/LinkedIn pages of highly-regarded industry publications for marketing content you can use. For example, if you offer expense reduction services, look at CFO magazine for content.
4. Business Publications. Similar to Industry Publications, Business Publications like the Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur or Inc. magazine are wonderful sources for engaging marketing content, depending on your audience.
5. Your Blog. The very best marketing content, of course, is your own. I suggest posting a mix of your own blog posts and other’s content, depending on how much time and existing marketing content you have.
BONUS TIP: If you have a WordPress blog, you can use plugins to automatically post your older blog posts.
Now you’re getting the picture of how to find marketing content quickly and easily.
You’ll be amazed how much engagement and leads you’ll get just by incorporating the above into your existing marketing. It will enable you to quickly build the know, like and trust factor with your audience and let you easily lead them to taking the next step with you.
