You’ve heard it before…Content marketing to influence your ideal audience is the fuel to social media.

For that reason…

Marketers are always thinking about how to get their ideal clients to engage with their content online.

Your audience can’t know what you do and how you can solve their problems until…

You know your audience so well that you can offer practical solutions. because you understand what is driving them.

  • That means you need to explore what’s in their heart, not just their head.
  • Walk in their shoes and get more curious about the solutions you could offer.

Content marketing to influence engagement is you having a conversation about the real outcomes they would like to see.

As it turns out…

When you have clarity about what you really sell and the changes in life or business that you offer and your audience wants, then you’ll be clearer in explaining what you have to offer.

  • Now you’ll hone your content to who is really your market.

The audience that you can make a difference with is why you use content marketing to influence engagement.

Posted by Ask Coach Donna Social Media Coach & Intuitive on Thursday, May 31, 2018

 

I’ve put together a hypothetical ‘Case Study’ to help better understand social media and content marketing efforts using a social media marketing funnel done right.

Boombiz Corp (imaginary) is a company that sells boomboxes and they’ve discovered social media and content marketing and are beginning to understand the efforts and the steps involved in growing their online business.

Because, their first thought and main concern was the success of that business online and getting their business noticed, they wanted to build an online identity for their brand while marketing and promoting their business.

Powerful success lessons they’ve learned with their new strategy…

how to break through - best to use for postI’ve enjoyed my journey through the wilderness of social media marketing, because I have an end goal.

To drive powerfully relevant traffic, build relationships, attract more email leads to build my list, and generate revenue.

But that’s just part of the story…

I started blogging in 2009. Within months I knew I was hungry for more social media.

– So I started to put together my own Social Media Content Marketing Plan as a system to guide me to reach my goals and successes.

  • I also learned that I had to separate myself from the crowd by being unique. You can learn a bit more about my personal journey at Coach Donna’s Story

These ideas will hopefully help you get more from your social media marketing and blogging but there’s always more to learn that can be applied as well.

There no doubt about it.

We all know that social media is huge for bloggers and marketers who want to increase sales, brand visibility, and community around their products.

Helping them more easily start conversations with their target audiences online.

How do successful online marketers hike their way through the wilderness in social media marketing?

  • Monitoring, reviewing, and
  • Responding to questions and comments from others.

This is you connecting social media successes back to real business outcomes….
