This guy sells steroids. Joel Widmer is on the show today. With his company, Fluxe Digital Marketing, he takes your feeble attempt at content marketing and injects it with completely legal marketing growth hormone. I

Digital Marketing Strategist and entrepreneur Joel Widmer understands how to help businesses systematize marketing success. He is the Founder & CEO of Dallas-based Fluxe Digital Marketing—a marketing shop that specializes in helping companies turn their best ideas into consistent content for lead generation and retention without writing a word.    Fluxe was started after Widmer saw too many brilliant people and businesses struggle through the same grind year after year—trying to create their own content and market it. Especially when they know they should be working on growing their business - not writing another article. The problem is outsourcing content isn't reliable and doing it right internally means hiring a team for the research, writing, graphics, editing, publishing and promotion. Then you're left to manage the process every month.   That's where Fluxe comes in. Fluxe works by helping smart businesses create, produce & promote world-class content through a customized, one-on-one interview process. This unique process ultimately saves Widmer's clients valuable time without sacrificing the client's writing style. Fluxe becomes your full dedicated content marketing team for less than one employee.    In addition, Widmer loves teaching and has created multiple online courses for 15,000+ students.   Based in Grapevine, Texas, with roots in Oregon and Tennessee, when he's not pursuing his passion for helping amazing companies communicate ideas and stories, you can find him trying a new restaurants, snowboarding and spending time with his wife and son.     Topics: Building an effective marketing strategy vs flying by the seat of your pants  The process (or struggle) of brainstorming, researching and coming up with new content consistently Finding the way you create content the most naturally. Not everyone is a writer, there's many other ways to create great content other than writing Promoting your content to get it seen by the right people  Generating leads, optimizing your website, SEO, email sequences and automation and all that nerdy stuff Building authority and thought leadership in an age where anybody can claim anything What it takes to build REAL authority    Mentioned Resources:  Getting started with the Facebook Pixel Trint - Cheap machine transcription for podcasts  Voicebase - You get 50 hours free with a new account at that URL. https://cl.ly/n5l1 - A short gif tutorial on how to start Google's voice typing in Google Docs.    Connect with Joel: Website - https://fluxedigitalmarketing.com/   Joel's FREE Resources:  Target Persona Builder - Worksheet to fully define and understand your customer  Year of Content Planner - Create a years' worth of content in 1 hour

Why You Need To Listen To This Interview: We Talk About… How to overcome the bottlenecks in your content creation process to create incredible content Joel’s dirty secret about his writing process The secret to consistently creating better content ideas Tools to make the guest blogging and writing process easier How to make your content stick out and get noticed The personal struggles Joel faced when starting to guest post and how he overcame them. (It took a lot of prying to get this out of him but he finally caved.) Are you ready to go behind the scenes and learn how to easily scale guest blogging to get more qualified traffic, leads and exposure for your website? Most people follow this same strategy. They think creating great content or a great website is enough to attract customers. It is not. The reason no one visits your website is because they’re not looking for it. They’re not interested. So you have two choices. 1) Spend a lot of money on online ads and traditional marketing to get your customer’s attention. 2) Spend zero money and show up where your customers are already looking. Personally, I’ll choose number two every time. And as a result, my business is getting more leads, more traffic and more NEW customers every month. How do I do it? It’s simple. Guest blogging. I target the websites my customers visit frequently, then I write guest blogs for those sites. And it works! It’s no secret that I think guest blogging is one of the BEST strategies being ignored by businesses today. And I’m tired of watching businesses struggle unnecessarily. I want to help. That’s why I just launched my new course, Guest Blogging Blueprint, which will help you no matter what level you’re at. In this course, you’ll learn how to: Earn credibility by becoming a published author on multiple websites Build high quality inbound links for your website to increase organic traffic Attract qualified traffic through guest posting on other blogs Identify the blogs your customers visit most Use the systems and templates I’ve given you to scale your guest blogging And much more!
