What Is Content Marketing?
Content marketing is creating content that addresses your prospect’s pain points and BUILDS AWARENESS and credibility for your brand.
Content is either a page on your website (blog), a video or social media post.
Marketing is where the content gets published. There are basically 3 places where you can market your content.
——————————————————————
Every new blog post is like adding an additional page to your website, which increases your chance of getting found in searches.
A video can either be embedded on your website or posted on YouTube.
A social media post can be published on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter …..or our favorite Quora.
There are 2 KEY THINGS to creating great content.
1. Who is your target audience? You need to know who this people are and where they hang out. This is niche marketing. If you target everbody, you will reach nobody.
You need to know the language they speak in order to use it in your content. What keywords and phrases do they use?
2. What problems do your prospects have? What are their pain points? Your content should address their problem. Show them you have a solution.
Content marketing is MORE THAN just raising awareness for your company, it is about building credibility.
When you show your prospects that you understand their problems, and are there to help them (instead of just selling them), they will trust you.
People are more likely to click on a search result versus an ad because a top ranked search result is deemed more credible.
Content marketing is the foundation for search engine optimization (SEO).
A blog is the BEST WAY to get organic traffic..period.
With a blog you can create additional pages on your website to address EVERY problem your customer faces. With each post, you are making it easier to get found in search queries.
For EVERY problem your prospect faces, there are proabably at least 5 types of searches they make for it. Those are 5 additional ways for your site to get listed in a search.
Videos. Having a YouTube channel is another great way to get found in searches. YouTube, owned by Google, is the 2nd largest search engine. If your product can be demonstrated, videos are a great form of content marketing.
TIP: Using a video service like Vimeo may seem like a great idea because you “own” the video content. The problem with this is that the content won’t be found in searches. We suggest uploading videos to your YouTube channel and embedding them in blog posts when possible.
Social Media Post. They are the easiest by far but they LACK the main point to great content marketing…getting found in searches. You can tweet, or post on FaceBook or LinkedIn but once that post gets pushed down by other posts..it is gone. In addition, it will NEVER get found in a search engine.
TIP: We like using Quora as a way to market content. Create a profile on Quora and use your website’s link in your profile. You will find numerous questions prospects have about your type of business. Start answering them and include a link back to your website.
What is great content?
Have you ever looked forward to an email, or a video? You knew when it would be coming and actually looked forward to it?
That is GREAT CONTENT.
Great content is anything where your prospects and customers look forward to receiving or seeing it.
It can be a weekly email, blog post or video.
It SHOULD BE something that they feel compelled to share or bookmark.
That means it should be informative..or helpful.
The ultimate type of content is a widget on your website that people visit your site continuously to use.

Content marketing versus paid avertising.
The goal of content marketing is to create enough quality content for your targeted audience so that you are found in searches without paying for ads.
The right content marketing will generate organic traffic.
However, content marketing takes time. It takes time to create those blog posts and videos AND for your content to get indexed by search engines.
Think of great content marketing like planting “traffic seeds“.
We suggest to all of our clients to pay for ads while they are creating content.
Paying for ads will let you target your prospect and deliver IMMEDIATE traffic. As soon as the campaign is over, the traffic stops.
A great content digital marketing agency should be able to wean your company completely off paid ads in three months.
You are searching for prospects when you use paid ads. Prospects are searching YOU with creative marketing (and it’s free).
A content marketing example.
A client was introducing a golf training tool.
What we did was identify ALL of the problems golfers could solve when they used this tool. We created 7 videos that demonstrated how the tool solved EACH problem.
We added search engine optimization to each video on YouTube.
Then we created 7 blog posts addressing each problem. The corresponding YouTube video was embedded in each blog post.
Once the blog post was published, we then added the link to the corresponding video on YouTube.
We essentially had 14 ways (over 25 when you include the images) for this golf training tool to be found.
We also created a neat widget for their website that could be tied into the tool.
A creative marketing agency will find ways to get organic traffic without spending money on ads.
The BEST digital content marketing strategy.
First determine who is your target audience and where are they most likely to search for your product (Google or YouTube)?
Second what is your budget and time frame?
Third, how competitive is the space you’re in.
Fourth, determine ALL of the keywords and key phrases you want to be found in searches for.
Most often we suggest starting with a blog and posting on Quora. The blog will allow your website to get picked up by Google’s crawlers and you will get immediate traffic from Quora.
We then suggest creating a YouTube channel. Hire a YouTube Channel Management Company so you can be sure the channel and videos are optimized for search.
You need to look at content marketing as a GREAT INVESTMENT, and not an expense.
Each piece of content you create today, is like having a “traffic tree” in the future.
The benefits of content marketing.
Fourth, pay for online ads. This is the method we discourage against because it just leads to TEMPORARY TRAFFIC. At Real Creative, our goal is to make sure your traffic is continuous and always growing.
Sure you will get orders but you didn’t create PERMANENT LINKS, like blog posts and videos do.
Finally, if you want to know how to create continuous traffic to your site WITHOUT PAYING FOR ADS, contact a truly creative digital marketing agency.
The experts at Real Creative show you how to get higher Google ranking or get more visitors to your YouTube channel without spending money on ads.
The future of advertising is content marketing.
Let’s face it, you don’t click on ads do you?
Between ad blockers and people that just ignore ads on search results, you need to do something different to reach your target audience.
Creating content that YOUR target audience is looking for is the BEST form of advertising. These are people that are searching for you.
If you help other people solve their problems, your will be solved too.
At Real Creative, our goal is to make sure your traffic is continuous and always growing.
