Platforms for getting your content out there are diverse, but here are three effective ways we’ve found for sharing what you create.
Blog – a written article to be used in partnership with SEO. The article should be concise and include important information the user will find helpful, while building trust and helping them learn something. The blog should be on your website to push traffic there and encourage users to learn more about your company.
Podcast – an audio platform allowing you to speak your content instead of writing it. Podcasts can be made available on your website or shared through third parties like iTunes. For the non-writer, this might be an excellent option to produce content and create value for your company.
Video – a visual platform allowing you to be the face of your company! This may or may not be the ideal format for you depending on your comfort level and experience in front of the camera. If you have these skills, it can create enormous value for your company. Video is a powerful way to grab attention, share your expertise and promote your company.
So here’s our takeaway… create content! Remember that you have something fresh to offer both current customers and new users looking to find out about you. If they can read, listen or watch about you in order to learn from your tips, insights and expertise, you’ll have created a bridge to your next sale!
