Buyer’s journey provides context for content

02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 18

Keywords and Phrases That Your Community Use

• What are their problems?• What keeps them awake at night?• What do they want to know?• What words and phrases do they use to describe these

problems?

Your buyer is faced with problems, develop topics that appeal to them:

Turn strangers into friends,

turn friends into customers,

turn customers into salespeople.

Seth Godin02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 19

To get found, find out about persona

Your buyer is faced with problems, develop topics that appeal to them• Measurable ROI (Return on Involvement)• What’s in it for Me?

What’s in it for Them? WIIFT

• Answer WIIFM? with WIIFT?• Create an archetype of your buyer persona with all the

details you can provide: – what the user does, – is motivated professionally by, – reads, works, is interested in

• The goal is to understand this person's motivation and need.– What’s in it for them now provides answers to What’s in it

for me

02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 20

Persona Development Strategy

We have a worksheet to help build engagement and content marketing strategy.To start strategy think:• Keyword and key phrase research,• Topic tracker,• Community research,• Trusted source,• Trusted media,• Persona objectives,• Customer journey,• User experienceUse worksheet for active development and on-going strategic goals.

02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 21

Persona – think like a publisher

1.Identify the persona(s) of who needs your solution?2.Investigate words and phrases they use to describe problems?

– Search engines answer questions– 3 and 7

3.Develop content that describes issues and problems they have faced and then provides details on how to solve these problems

– What are their problems?– What keeps them awake at night?– What do they want to know?

Communication Rule #1: Know Your Audience

What’s In It For Me? (WIIFM?) the #1 communication filter• Search engines answer questions

– 3 and 7

• Identify the persona(s) in need of your solution– What are their problems?– What keeps them awake at night?– What do they want to know?

What’s in it for Me? What’s In It For Them? (WIIFT?)• Write their story

– Valued content describes issues and problems they have face and provides detail on how to solve these problems

• A source for their solution– Hang out where they hang out– Investigate words and phrases they

use to describe problems?– Measure ROI (Return on Involvement)

02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 24

The Engagement Strategy

People search for answers to their questions, not for your contentPersona design• What answers can you provide for

what they search for– Keywords– Key phrases

• Think like a publisher – compelling content: unique to them• Think like a publisher – compelling

content: unique to their community

Focus on keywords and phrases that buyers use • Who are your clients? Prospects?

– What are they interested in?– What do you want to hear from them?– What do you want to talk to them

about?• This is more than segmentation

– What value can you offer?– What are your goals?

02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 25

It Really is About Them - WIIFM? Leads to WIIFT?

1. Develop persona2. Identify key words and phrases3. Identify communities, listening

posts, and watering holes4. Review top persona objectives,

pain points

02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 27

Questions You Need to Ask When Developing Buyer Personas

• What is their demographic information?

• What is their job and level of seniority?

• What does a day in their life look like?• What are their pain points?• What do they value most? What are

their goals?• Where do they go for information?• What experience are they looking for

when shopping for your products and services?

• What are their most common objections to your product or service?

• How do I identify this persona?

02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 28

Further Review: People search for answers to theirquestions, not your content

Persona Design

Persona Places

02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 29

The Search Engine Meritocracy

Know the Language

• Focus on the keywords and phrases that your buyers use• Google, and all search engines,

provide answers to questions• Don’t like the answers you get,

tweak the question and try again• Answers come back based on

meritocracy– Authority– Relevance

Think Like a Publisher

• Offer solutions for each buying persona• Link content to the place where

action occurs• Curate content of others• Offer your editorial on relevant

content• Don’t email, blog

02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 30

Share What Solves Problems, What Answers Questions

The greatest challenge in today’s world of marketing• Content is remarkable when

someone defines it as remarkable, not when your marketing or product manager define it as remarkable.

• Your strategy relies on enabling others

• You really have no control over your product’s value, however, you do have control about hosting and socializing with people who will advocate, refer, and recommend your service or product

02/15/2017 Project Management Institute 31

Social Part of Social Media

Identify Where

• Plan– Identify who and why– Design the plan– Get Found, Be Sticky, Call to

Action• Monitor and measure

– Tools: Google, statistics, feedback– What to measure, what to tweak– Resources to manage your identity

Listen In

• Contribute– Hearing– Adding– Collaborating

• ROI – Return on Involvement
