Good content can attract these types of audiences:
- Those that connects your content to your product or service.
- Those that avail of your product or service because of your content.
#2: DIFFERENT TYPES OF STORIES
Here are different types of stories you can write about in your content:
– Talk about your case studies.
Tell people how good your business or product is through case studies. Testimonials are good but showing real-life examples of how you went about solving a particular problem can go a long way. It’s how you accomplished a goal.
Using case studies, you now only show how you went about the process of doing things. You also highlight your success.
Here are 9 awesome digital marketing case studies in B2B.
– Talk about industry successes
Michael Gerber of the E-Myth loves to talk about McDonald’s. He cites the greatest example of such a “systems business” is McDonald’s. They create the same experience and are run the same way around the world even if you love it or hate it. They are a fantastic example of a business that runs on systems.
It’s a perfect example of talking about industry success. You don’t only talk about your success, but other people as well. People love success stories, no matter how small. Every business has their share of success stories. Even you. Write about them, share them and be proud!
– Talk about your personal anecdotes
These anecdotes may not directly connect to your business. A way for the readers to have something to ponder about. A means to grab attention, to be quirky and memorable in the process.
By using relatable anecdotes in your writing, you can heighten the understanding and empathy of your readers. When that happens, they are likely to agree with it. Focus on the moral of the story and how you can connect the lessons to what you’re selling.
#3: DIFFERENT FEATURES
Your product or service may have 40 different features. That’s good! Don’t just list your features. Instead, tell customers about their benefits through your content.
Create at least one article about them. Create multiple how-to types of content that relate to each feature.
