This is the first in a series of posts that will share a group of content marketing tips to help you promote yourself and your online business, using proven strategies for online marketing success.
It must be said that, knowing why you need a content writer to some extent presupposes you’ve put in place, or hope to, a content marketing strategy. While you may not have diagramed and developed a specifically outlined plan, if you realize that you can target your content to attract an audience and generate conversions, you’re halfway there.
The keys to creating effective content are:
- Targeted content that speaks to the needs of your audience.
- Offering free, high-value content that makes a difference.
- Timely content that is relevant and addresses the pain points of your audience.
Of course, the goal for you and your writer will be to “speak” in your voice, while offering a persuasive message without being “salesy”; that is, in a low-pressure, friendly, but effective way. Your wirter will also understand SEO, as well as how your content needs to be structured to convert.
