Core Concepts and The Buyer Persona

If you dont know your target, how can you create content for them?

Whether you're writing articles, filming YouTube videos, or producing any content, a good understanding of core concepts is necessary.   Your efforts need to represent a tool used to accomplish goals and not a tiresome task that becomes dreaded and forced.  

On first impression, content creation can seem overwhelming and a never-ending pit of frustration.  It not only doesn't have to be like that, it shouldn't be.  This workshop will teach you content marketing from end to end. You  will emerge with a process that you can manage through others once your system is in place.

Goals, Strategy & A Content Plan

Know the purpose of your content

Every content piece you create should have a clear purpose, and you should be conscious of the purpose.  Every piece of content should not sell a product like a desperate, used car salesman. Nor should each piece of content be your life’s work.

If you’re writing content for business purposes, it needs to serve a purpose for your readers, and you need to understand how that benefits your business.  Creating content just to create content is probably a waste of your time.

Getting Results From Your Strategy

Getting people to your content and getting results can be difficult.  Be persuasive and give them a reason to want to know more.

We know who our buyer is and we've developed a way to create content that our audience can discover, hopefully at the right times.  You've got them on the article reading it...now what?   It’s not enough to just get them on the page. 

The goals of your content need to be addressed in the article to move the audience towards your goals. How do we overcome that?  We will overcome this through the use of persuasive content a compelling call-to-action and a system to nurture the reader so they take the action we desire and from content to content.
