What is Content Marketing?
Content marketing is a marketing strategy where you produce free content for the purpose of generating leads and engaging your current and former customers. It’s a multi-pronged marketing approach that includes:
- Articles
- Blog posts
- Case studies
- Content curation
- eBooks
- Email marketing
- Forum posts
- Guest posts
- Industry news and updates
- Infographics
- Interviews
- Online presentations
- Podcasts
- Press releases
- Q&A sessions
- Slideshares
- Social media posts
- Webinars
- White papers
- Videos
- Vlogs
And the list goes on.
Content marketing is about two things: knowledge and trust. First, you’re giving your readers information on topic(s) that they care about. They have a pain, you have a remedy. But it would be a mistake to think of content marketing as a direct sales pitch.
Content marketing is a long-term marketing strategy where you build trust with two parties: your prospective customers who aren’t ready to buy just yet, and your current/ past customers who you want to keep on the hook.
