How content marketing can help
grow your business
April 26, 2016
Introduction
Tim Kelsey, Director of Marketing Services
Scott Pressimone, Senior Marketing Consultant
4 steps to growing your business
Today’s focus
First, why content
marketing is important.
People trust educational content
“70% of people prefer getting
information from articles instead
of advertisements.”
[Via Custom Content Council]]
Use content to establish your
business as an expert in your
industry.
More chances to rank
Every article represents an
opportunity to rank for a wider
variety of keywords, and as you
write more articles that huge
variety of keywords can add up to
a ton of traffic.
Content as an SEO and branding strategy
Earn inbound links to your most useful
content and write guest posts to be published
on other industry-relevant websites.
Content drives your marketing engine
All of your marketing - from
advertising to email to social
media and SEO - depends on
content. Having a consistent
source of new content will make
all your other marketing efforts
much easier.
Poll: Is content part of your
marketing strategy today?
Second, what is
content marketing?
Content marketing is a strategic
marketing approach focused on
creating and distributing valuable,
relevant, and consistent content to
attract and retain a clearly-defined
audience — and, ultimately, to drive
profitable customer action.

Website Copywriting vs. Content Marketing
Types of content
● Blog articles - News, Evergreen, Epic
● Email - Newsletter, Drip, Promotional, Operational
● Ebooks/Whitepapers
● Videos
● Webinars
● Case Studies/Customer Stories
Poll: What’s your biggest challenge
with content marketing?
Next, how to build
your content strategy.
Audit your existing content
Map your content to your sales funnel
Match topics to your customer's journey
Organized by customer journey:
● Prospects & Leads - How to
solve specific their pain points,
Why your services are needed,
What to expect after becoming
a client
● Customers - How to get more
out of your services, Additional
services that they could benefit
from
Decide which areas need improvement
Start writing!
Don’t have time for a full
content strategy? Start
with blogging instead.
Pick one person to be responsible
Although a successful blogging process
typically involved multiple people, it’s
important to pick someone to be in charge of
the process and ultimately responsible for it.
Get organized and start planning
Write!
Get the word out
Develop a content promotion strategy:
● Share multiple times on social media
● Share in a monthly email newsletter
● Reach out to any resources you linked to
in the article and ask them to share
● Find relevant websites that have weekly
or monthly article roundups and share
your article with them
