Share you interests and intentions 3.

Content marketing? What is it? Blogs, Podcasts, and Videos can all be used in Content marketing. The Idea behind this approach is to fill a destination website with material that is both attractive to people and a google search. What fills the site up is your "Content" and how it is written/recorded and how much Value is in it for your Ideal client/customer will make it attractive and drive traffic. This can be done in two styles, Short term high search volume for a narrow window of time... or Evergreen or long term value. I suggest that you use both, but lean heavily on the evergreen if you want to build up a passive income and have a positive ROI.

Are you worrying that your Marketing content is not A+ all the Time? Well you have Psychologists to thank for the "different is better" quote that will make your life much easier. Standing out can be as simple as being yourself! In a now famous test, Psychologists made people look thru a stack of photos (Yes we are talking printed photos.. #OldSchool) To see if the quality of photo made the image memorable or if Different was a better memory trigger. I am betting you can Figure out which one won... (hint it's in the title) So save the content stress for later and be different!

What's emotion got to do with marketing? EVERYTHING! It starts with the basis for all business... Humans! Humans are first and foremost emotional beings, our brains are powerful... but without emotions we literally won't remember anything and being memorable is the only way to get noticed and grow our businesses. To use this we NEED to know... Who our customers are. What their needs and pain-points are. What Emotion do we want them to remember us with. And last but not least, how we want them to feel once they've tried our product or service! As always I would love to hear from you!

Brands often miss the mark by not understanding that Social media is not about running Ads, it's about socializing! This simple concept raises their cost and annoys the very customers they seek to gain... so if you are thinking about running an add for the first time then stop and think.

What the word Audacious means to you could shed light on some important mindsets issues. Every notable historical figure got there thru an Audacious action, in fact I bet you can identify them but the actions they took... whether they rode thru the streets of Paris naked or challenged the British Empire without holding a weapon. Successful Audacious undertakings are the very keys to making history. Yet many people were raised to think badly of anyone who acted "Audaciously"... Fortunately this is a mindset that can be fixed and I think it's even more important that we fix it for our children's sake.

The real power of the lowly comment. Most social media advertisers think that commenting is a waste of time and resources, I am happy to show you that their error is your advantage. Here is how Commenting works. People who Engage are more likely to comment than to post, and they'll engage more with other commenters. When you do Comment, comment on a 2nd degree connections post and you are basically advertising to THEIR connections. Make it relevant to the post with as much thought and value as you can. DO NOT SPAM or directly advertise yourself, it is a huge turn off and rude. Using this approach I receive 3-4 connection requests per week (sometimes per day!) on Linkedin!
