Know Your Audience:

Before you can deliver a marketing message effectively, you need to know your audience and put yourself in the reader’s place. Think about their situation and address their issues through your content. Ask yourself:

  • Who is my reader?
  • What are their key business issues?
  •  Do you have a solution to relieve their “pain points?

Create Good Content:

Create content that your reader will value and captures their attention. In turn, this kind of content may offer a solution to a problem that your audience is having. Keep your sentences and paragraphs short and easy to read.

  • Start with a title that will capture attention
  • Provide solutions
  • Write short, concise content
  • Include a call to action
  • Add visuals and videos
