WHY IS CONTENT MARKETING EFFECTIVE
WHY IS CONTENT MARKETING EFFECTIVE?
Traditional Marketing gets in peoples faces and hopes they pay attention.
Content marketing speaks only to people who want to listen. They give their permission for you to put information about your business into their inboxes and feeds or onto their mobile phones.
Content Marketing works because it adds value to the consumer. It’s a two way conversation.
Your content is your words, either short form, long form or spoken and images or video.
Share your knowledge in exchange for your audiences attention.

HOW DO I USE SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS
Almost Famous
Almost famous has a shitty website and no facebook page but they use twitter to great effect by following an incredibly simple strategy.
Monday
I hate mondays, I’m hungover. Where should I eat?
Tuesday
I ate amazing food yesterday, here’s a picture
Wednesday
Look what I’m cooking today – “close up picture of something cooking”
Thursday
Here’s what I was cooking, it’s available NOW! ( Picture of ridiculous burger )
Friday
Picture of the special – “There are a limited number of these available today”
Almost Famous rely on retweets of their weekly special to drive footfall.
Existing followers repeat their post out to people following them, meaning the post gets seen by more people.
By involving their customers in the process early in the week they build anticipation and interest, the “special” tweet is anticipated and readily shared.
The fact that the special tweet is usually a ridiculous burger porn image makes it sharable in it’s own right, but there would be nobody to share it without the engagement throughout the week.
HOW DO I USE SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS
