Content can be lots of things besides “Buy This”1) Educate customers how to buy the right products/services
2) Show your customers how to use your products
3) Teach your customers how to solve problems
4) Help customers discover products they weren't necessarily looking for
5) Share interesting tidbits about your business and employees
6) Highlight customer reviews, case studies and testimonials
7) Be a thought leader and share your experiences
8) Promote events, specials, deals, new products/services
I make content People search and see it
They call me and I make money
“What are the chances of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together?”
“Well, that's pretty difficult to say. ..I'd say like one out of a million.”
“So you're telling me there's a chance.”
