6 Key Deliverables That Can Lead to Content Marketing Success

To grow your business without becoming mired in a time sink, a clear strategy must guide your content marketing effort.

  • Resonate: Demonstrate understanding of your prospect’s concerns and what matters to them. Speak their language and create a fellow feeling.
  • Convert: Set a clear path to goal for the reader-viewer of your content from where they are now to the next level of involvement with your brand. Include strong, specific, and motivational CTAs.
  • Represent: Be true to brand vision by creating authentic content that reflects your company image.
  • Shine: Stand out by achieving a good natural search position. Practice on-target SEO and potential clients easily find you.
  • Explore: You’ll be shared everywhere if you enhance the “virality” of each piece of content. Make sure it:
    • Inspires provokes, or just plain asks for a response. Get a rise out of your reader or viewer. Entertain and be shared.
    • Helps. Truly useful solution-oriented content gets shared.
    • It almost shares itself. Include sharing buttons.
    • Gets noticed. Promote influential or popular followers and industry mavens.
  • Segment: Organize your site so that your purpose-built content immediately pulls in the visitor; content that speaks to their current and immediate need(s). Surface content that fits who they are, the business they’re in, and the problem they have. For instance, a design firm might try segmenting the home page into a few buttons/categories: I need to 1) redesign-redecorate my home, 2) revamp my office space 3) re-brand my retail location.
