Have you noticed the changes happening right now? Facebook has killed the organic reach for FB pages, which means that less and less people are going to see your posts.
Google continually changes the algorithm. The days of quick and easy ranking of your best home blender posts are over.
Consumers have developed ad-blindness, and its getting harder and harder (and more expensive) to get them to notice your ad.
Soon, its going to be hard to justify the investment in paid ads.
Peoples attention is getting shorter and shorter. You have about 2-3 SECONDS to get enough of their attention so they read/watch more.
Its hard. In fact, much harder than it used to be.
So, what can YOU do to get customers for your products, and build a successful and profitable business?
Implement what Seth Godin one of the most respected marketing minds today calls:
The only marketing thats left. Im talking about content marketing. The strategic use of free information, tips, advice, etc. to attract potential customers to your business, and turn them into customers.
Without being: Pushy
Sleazy
But being: Helpful
Useful
Valuable
Honest
Over the past few years, there has been a lot of talk about content marketing.
And, as you might expect, there have been a lot of misconceptions and false beliefs about content marketing.
Misconception #1: Content Marketing Is A New Trend Thatll Go Away People say that its a hot new trend that you should take advantage of while it still works. Others were saying that its a fad. And some were saying that content marketing is here to stay.
The truth is, none of them are 100% right.
Content marketing IS here to stay, but far from it being a new strategy.
In 1732, Benjamin Franklin started to publish Poor Richards Almanack, with a goal of promoting his printing business.
In 1888, Johnson & Johnson began publishing the Modern Methods of Antiseptic Wound Treatment publication. The goal was to inform the doctors who were the potential buyers of their bandages.
Started in 1900, Michelins (the tire company) The Michelin Guide was used to make drivers drive more to distant, yet excellent, restaurants. (The companys logic was that that way, people will damage their tires more often, and theyll have to buy it from you guessed it the Michelin.)
And David Ogilvy, the legendary adman from the madmen era, used content to sell products like Guinness beer (The Guinness Guide to Oysters), Rinso (How to Remove Stains), etc.
So, content marketing has been around for at least 300 years, and it will be around for at least that much longer.
The reason behind it is simple: peoples hunger for information is getting bigger each day and can never be satisfied.
Think about it.
No matter how much you know about, lets say fishing, you cant resist reading the latest Top 10 fishing destinations in the US, or Top 10 tips for catching more fish this weekend.
Its in our blood.
Misconception #2: Content Marketing Is Hard, And It Takes A Lot Of Time And Resources I totally understand where this comes from.
Theres a lot of misleading information out there that makes it seem like content marketing is something hard, or time-consuming.
In essence, content marketing is very simple:
You have a group of people (your market) who want to know more about something
You create a piece of content that provides that information
You put that content in front of your market
And that information doesnt have to be long, hard to create, or complicated in any way.
It can be a 1-minute video, or a 100-word article, or even an image.
And the content you create can be:
Educational where you teach them something (like how-to articles, for example)
Informational where you update them on something new or important (for example, there are some changes that they need to be aware of)
Inspirational/motivational where you share some motivational stories
Entertaining where your goal is to entertain them (remember the Will it blend? videos from Blendtec)
And so on.
Sometimes, youll be able to nail it and create content that combines two or more items listed above. You can create Infotainment, for example.
The Squatty Potty video is a fantastic example.
Its entertaining, but also both informational and educational because it drives our attention towards an important issue and how to solve it.
Of course, the Squatty Potty video is high production. And probably costs a lot of money to make something like this.
But you can do something like this without a fancy production, and with the camera on your phone.
Just like the employees of Morris-Jenkins the local HVAC company did when they created this fun video:
Only a panel with their logo, some dance music, one iPhone camera, and some people having fun. People loved it.
Coming up with content ideas isnt hard at all.
There are many places and ways you can use to come up with ideas, and Ill share one with you here:
Take your pen and paper (or open a notepad on your computer) and create these 3 lists of questions:
5 questions that your (potential) customers are asking
5 questions that they would ask (but for some reason they dont)
5 questions that they SHOULD be asking, but they dont
Now, you just write or record your answers to these questions, and you have your content ready!
Thats 15 content pieces right there.
And with the power of content recycling and content repurposing, you can get even more content pieces from these questions alone!
Now, you might be thinking:
Misconception #3: Content Marketing Wont Work For My Amazon Business Because My Market Is Different Nothing is further from the truth.
Content marketing works in one form or another for almost every industry and every niche you can imagine.
It works for local businesses (hair salons, yoga clubs, car repair shops, etc.), multinational corporations, online businesses, e-commerce businesses
And itll work for your Amazon business.
The reason is simple:
Your market has questions, problems, challenges, knowledge gaps, and information gaps that you, with your content, need to answer, satisfy, and solve.
This is true, no matter what type of product you are selling.
Lets say that you sell kitchen items.
You can create content that shows them how to sharpen their knives, how to organize their kitchen, how to make their kitchen child-proof, etc.
Or lets say that you sell fitness equipment.
Your content can show people different exercises, or some healthy meal ideas, etc.
The list goes on.
And weve seen this with our various businesses. So far, we havent seen a niche or a type of product where good content hasnt produced great results.
Now, you might have tried content marketing before, and it failed.
Obviously, this might led you to believe that content marketing isnt working for your business.
But, as youve seen in the examples above, it all comes down to having the right system the right framework to follow.
When you understand what your potential customers want and need, and when you have the the right system for:
