It goes beyond selling a product or service; you need to give your readers and viewers a narrative to remember. Let's dive in to a couple of core content fundamentals you should focus on to create content that drives engagement and builds solid customer relationships. Go Beyond the Sales Pitch If you received non-stop sales emails from a business, you'd probably want to opt out, right? Well, the same goes for your audience. While your overall goal is to sell your products, you also need to remember that your subscribers want to gain value from you. Value that doesn't always require them to make a purchase. So, balance your content with educational or inspirational posts to provide that value. Fuse your blog posts, emails, and videos with key tips, customer success stories, and even personal anecdotes from your own life. Value-driven content establishes you as an authority and trusted figure in your industry. And this is key for long-term customer relationships. Engage, Don't Just Broadcast You have a lot to learn from your audience, too. But you can't learn from them if you don't give them a chance to speak. Find ways to invite interaction in your content, through polls, quizzes, and even directly asking for feedback. A simple, "What would you like to learn from me?" could lead to a treasure trove of ideas for your next blog posts, videos, and offers. When your audience sees you creating content based on their suggestions, they'll feel heard -- making them 10x likelier to engage with your content and sing your business's praises. Don't Leave *All* The Work with AI
AI is a game-changer for businesses -- that's a given. But if you're copy-pasting what ChatGPT, Jasper, CopyAI or any other tool gives you without editing the content... You're not going to win over a lot of customers that way. AI writing tools are good at creating a foundation for your content work. But their words don't have your personal touch. If you want your brand to come across as authentic, you'll need to add your voice, too. Add your own opinions, lessons learned, and personal stories to your content. Remember, at the heart of every successful content strategy is the goal to connect with an audience and build genuine relationships. As you learn to turn your content into valuable conversations, you'll be blown away by the uptick in engagement and conversions.
