If you are  tired of navigating the all-too complex world of lead generation without relying on the dreaded cold calling or draining your budget on advertisements, then read on! Because in this article we are going to discuss content marketing. 

Imagine becoming such a captivating magnet that your ideal clients are irresistibly drawn to you.

Wait, what? As in, bring the mountain to Muhammad?

Yup. 

 

Exploring Content Marketing

 

Picture yourself creating content that blends value, relevance, and personalisation to your ideal customer. 

You’ve probably seen it a million times and not quite caught on. 

If you live in marketing circles you will be familiar with the likes of one Gary V, the man mountain Alex Hormozi, or there’s this other dude who’s been around for a while named Dan Koe. They are the masters of content marketing.

Their strategy is simple. He or she with the most eyeballs (on them, not physically, that’d be weird), wins. 

How do they get eyeballs?

Through content marketing. 

Implemented correctly, content marketing is like serving up a banquet of knowledge and expertise that your target clients simply can’t resist. 

 

How to make content marketing effective. 

 

Consider offering something so valuable that they willingly share their contact information to access it.

Successful creators use this value exchange with a pinch of social proof, testimonials, case studies, and user-generated content. All in the name of catering authority in the space. 

They act as a trusted friend whispering recommendations to their prospects, providing disproportional value to their following, significantly boosting trust, authority and expertise.

And at some point, they will sell their services without the ‘sell”.

 

Why does content marketing work so well?

 

Because the human race is inherently lazy. So here you have someone telling and showing you EXACTLY how to do it. 

As someone using a content marketing strategy, you’re not just producing content; you’re curating an experience.

Your blog posts, videos, podcasts, and infographics aren’t merely informative—they’re a journey that your audience embarks on, tailored to their specific needs and aspirations. 

It’s about crafting a narrative that seamlessly integrates your expertise into their professional and maybe even, personal, growth.

But why stop there? Hosting webinars and live Q&A sessions can cultivate a sense of community and real-time interaction. Plus, here in New Zealand, we know of creators charging $6000 per speaking appearance!

That’s an impressive hourly rate.
