10 Online Marketing Principles: How To Influence Today’s Sophisticated Audiences and Grow a Profitable Business in Any Climate

We’re at the point where melodramatic, in-your-face marketing tactics just aren’t working anymore as online audiences get more and more sophisticated… and mistrust is at an all-time high. 

And the way I see it entrepreneurs like you and me have 2 choices:

Choice #1: We can risk annoying the heck out of everyone and stubbornly stick to old marketing methods that are going the way of the Dodo or…

Choice #2: We can embrace a brand, new way of marketing our products, programs and services and remain relevant, congruent and in deep service to our audience. This new way of marketing has to do with creating experiences and it’s where you’re directly engaging your clients and customers so they’re taking action and they get to experience winning with you even before they buy a thing. 

These principles will also help you to build that all-important “know, like and trust” factor into your marketing so prospects are not just in their heads but in their hearts… and they want to connect with you and buy from you not just because it makes sense but because it feels good.

The #1 Thing You Should Be Writing About: How to Develop a Content Strategy for Your Blog and Social Media

If you’re not getting results with business blogging or using social media for business, don’t blame the tools. You probably haven’t designed a content strategy that will engage your target market around your specific topic.

Most people jump into blogging and social media and start posting content wily nily about whatever floats their fancy at that particular moment in time. The problem with this approach is that you may be writing about topics that have little to do with your products and services, so the audience that you’re building may not be interested in what you have to offer.

If you laser focus your posts around the #1 topic your work is about, you’ll drive targeted traffic to your website that is much more likely to buy from you. That doesn’t mean you can’t write about other things, but it does mean that you should choose sub-topics that relate to and support your #1 topic.
