Business Blogging Doesn’t Have to Be Difficult

Yes, You Need a Business Blog and No, It Doesn’t Have To Be Difficult

Do I really need a business blog?

We hear this question all the time.

People would like us to tell them no, that they don’t need a blog, but the truth is that blogging is the best sure-fire way to create valuable content for your existing and potential customers.

What does that mean exactly? It means that quality content is the best way to engage with people, not just sell to them.

How to Win More Customers with Great Marketing Copy

Is your copy self-absorbed?

Oh, it’s probably unintentional, but that doesn’t mean that your website copy isn’t turning off your customers.

Have a look at your website’s homepage. How many times do you say “we” (or, if you’re a solopreneur, “I”) vs. “you” and “your”? Are you having a one-sided conversation with yourself? Or are you speaking directly to your potential customers, asking them relatable questions, and helping them to understand how your services will help them reach their objectives?

Is This For Me?

I learned a key lesson about marketing and copywriting in my “past life”, over 10+ years ago, when I was […] Read more

Unlocking that secret is the key to growing your customer base. And believe me, it’s not as straightforward as you may think.

Today’s consumers have become more savvy and more sensitive. They’re tired of being sold to, and are wary of anything and anyone claiming to have quick and easy fixes for their problems.

The Secret to Growing Your Business is to Make People Care

Do you want to know the secret to growing your business?

You have to make people care.

When you find a way to make people care, you can turn “people” into “customers”.

“In our factory, we make lipstick. In our advertising, we sell hope.” -Peter Nivio Zarlenga

Why People Care

People don’t buy because you tell them to buy. They buy because they care about the product or service in some way. That caring comes from a sense that they’ll benefit in some way from the purchase. As human beings, we’re naturally driven by our own desires, and it’s the belief in personal benefit that […] Read more

How to Leverage Evergreen Content for more Successful Marketing

Are you working harder or smarter when it comes to your social media marketing?

We see it time and again: business owners and marketing staff working to generate brand new content on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. They rack their brains to write new content, send it out, and then repeat the process. It’s time consuming and can feel very repetitive. It’s not that they’re doing something wrong… but it’s not very efficient or strategic.

Consider this: how much of your content could be useful to share again some time down the road?

If your content and messaging was good the […] Read more

What a Bad Conference Taught Me About Value

Today I attended a conference that was selling “Kool-Aid.” I don’t mean the actual drink powder. I’m referring to propaganda.

Not familiar with the expression “drinking the Kool-Aid”?

It’s a figure of speech that refers to any person or group who knowingly goes along with a doomed or dangerous idea because of peer pressure. The phrase derives from the Jonestown deaths of ’78 when over 900 members of the Peoples Temple, followers of Jim Jones, died by drinking a mixture of a powdered soft drink flavouring agent laced with cyanide.*

So yeah. This conference was selling “Kool-Aid”, but I wasn’t drinking it. Some […] Read more
