What is content marketing?
Understanding the biggest challenges of our target clients
Providing educational materials for free (can be blog posts, videos, podcast, images)
Generating visitor to our website and convert a tiny fraction of them as a client
Easy, right?
Produce content that helps your target clients
See the traffic coming in
Profit
The reality
It takes 1,5-2 years until you might see results (results = money)
Too much content is created, competition is high -> takes longer and more effort to get results
Everyone wants to fire you in the first 2 years
But the long-term, compound impact is just incredible
We receive 5-6 client inquiries per month
The traffic value we generate is 10K USD/ month
That means if you want the same results with paid ads you have to spend 10K USD per month
Key: content promotion
Publishing content and waiting for the traffic to come won’t work
You need to actively promote every piece of content you create
In our case…
We rely on search (organic) traffic (74%)
Direct traffic (14%)
Referral traffic (4%)
And little social traffic (2%)
