Content Marketing is my favorite Digital Marketing Strategy by far. Every business should have a blog on their website, but many entrepreneurs and ministries are intimidated by this.
Pamela Wilson first taught us about Content Marketing in her book, Master Content Marketing. She now has a excellent follow-up book called Master Content Strategy.
Are you convinced there’s more to online publishing than social media?
Do you want to build a strong foundation online by publishing your content on your own website?
Are you overwhelmed by the thought of creating fresh content consistently?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, please read Master Content Strategy by Pamela Wilson. She’ll give you the strategies and confidence you need to succeed.
If your website is the hub of your business, you want readers to find you through the use of smart Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies, not just through paid ads. You will reap the benefits of this strategy for years to come.
This is a good thing.
Pamela clearly identifies the best content strategies for your business, whether your blog is brand new OR you’ve been blogging for years. The checklists she provides for every stage are fantastic!
For a new website, Pamela recommends posting fresh content once per week. What if you start strong and have to take a break? (like me…) Just pick up the weekly posts where you left off and keep going. Nobody is perfect.
I’ve talked about this point before in a previous blog post and I was really glad to see Pamela stress this point. It’s important!
This relieves the pressure from trying to make everything perfect. Some articles will be better than others. Some images will be stunning, while others might be less-than. That’s okay.
Your goal is to create a body of work that reaches the heart of your audience.
For several reasons explained in her book, Pamela suggests that we create content for readers (or listeners or viewers) at every level of awareness. Her recommended publication types are as follows:
Beginner content: 50%
Intermediate content: 30%
Advanced content: 20%
This is so important. Too many entrepreneurs and ministries think that all they need to do is post to social media. Then they judge their effectiveness by their number of likes.
WRONG!
At some point, your online marketing efforts need to help increase your revenue. One very cost-effective way to do this is with an email list that you build on your website.
And finally – you are blessed to be a blessing! You can further the Kingdom by reaching people online – Stay tuned and we’ll show you how!
