What is Content Marketing?

With the internet the consumer now has control. Most consumers will research a product before they will even think of contacting you. There is advertising but this becomes expensive and is short term. Now there is an intelligent way of getting your brand known and recognized for the longer term. It’s called Content Marketing. It’s a way of selling without using ads. It is more about giving valuable information to someone who would be interested.

Here’s how it works.

You create videos, blogs, and other material that solves a potential customer’s problem.
Let’s say you make a product that helps someone to do organise their storage and reduce clutter. Instead of just talking about your product, your content should be about ways to help someone reduce the clutter.

In this way, someone who wants to find out how to “organise their space” will see your content online and get value from it.

 

Problem – Solution – Trust

What happens is when that person gets value from your content, they will start to trust your brand. It’s like you are the expert in the area and you are there to help them. Over time they will start to get more value out of your content. So, when they are ready to buy, they know who to go to. You!
They will also start to become your biggest fans and pass the word on to their friends. It works on this simple concept. People want solutions to their problems.

 

Start Solving Problems

So, start solving problems. That way you will gain an audience that values what you do and more importantly trusts you.
