What does a content marketer do?
5 SECOND SUMMARY
- Content marketing refers to blogs, case studies, buyers guides, website content, social media copy and anywhere else you’re using words to communicate with your potential customers.
- Good copywriting helps to drive traffic to your website, inspires action, and encourages behaviour change.
- Writing is hard, and time consuming, but pays off big by enhancing trust and understanding in the minds of your audience.
Writing content for your business is a key ingredient in your marketing mix. Everyone keeps saying so. But copywriting is hard. It’s frustrating, time-consuming, and difficult to do well. Basically, content is a drag.
But it works.
Strong, confident, consistent copy that appeases your customers rational mind whilst appealing to their emotional decision-making side is a critical piece of your marketing strategy.
Good content drives traffic, and good copy drives action.
In the online space, SEO-focused content is a slow burn for your brand; a trickle that can quickly become a fire hose if you’re consistent with pushing out useful, well written and relevant articles. Maintaining consistency across traditional media is important too, and great writing will elevate your brand in the minds of your customers.
