Content Marketing
The concept behind Content Marketing is fairly simple:
- You provide your prospective client with interesting, relevant and educational material about your products and services
- The client will read it and realize that you're the expert in your field
- When they're ready to purchase they'll choose you because you're the expert and they already feel comfortable with you
That "interesting, relevant and educational material" is called Content and providing a steady stream of content to your clients will lead to increased business over time. The content is probably going to be used within your blog on your website and beyond that in your social media accounts and within your email marketing.
These are some of the statements we've heard from our clients when discussing content marketing:
- I want to blog but I don't have the time
- I want to blog but I don't know what to write about
- I want to blog but I'm not a writer

Communication Plans
When I visit with other small business owners many of them tell me that they'd love to spend more time engaging with their clients either by e-mail or via a blog if only they had more time. Their other big concerns are what to write about and when to post.
It's a fact of life that we make time for things that we put into our calendar and we schedule for - whether its lunch with a client or an important date with your significant other. Communicating with your clients and prospects should be on this same level, making it part of a schedule will help it to happen. But how much easier would it be if someone else actually worked out that schedule for you - based on your business, your market and your competition? What if they also gave you the topics to write about and the keywords to use? And if they told you when to post it?
