Here are a few content creation tips to improve your workflow, no matter how busy your schedule becomes.
The statement “Email marketing is dead” is something that I hear time and time again, and I am sure a few if you have been told this too. Well, today I am here to tell you that not only is it alive and well, but it’s making a lot of businesses money!
Anyone who has ever written content for email campaigns, social media posts, or any other marketing vehicle knows how exciting it can be.

You have a few different goals with your company blog. First, you want to drive traffic to your blog content. Then you want to inform your audience. And last, you want your readers to engage with your content, whether it’s by leaving a comment, sharing your post or making a purchase.
Based on the feedback from how to get started with podcasts, we understand that a lot of time and effort goes into creating a podcast episode. They can be an effective way to promote your brand. 32% of Americans listen to podcasts at least once a month (that’s approximately 150 million people!).

As we’ve written about in our recent blog posts, all writers are selling something. Whether that be a physical product or service, or selling their content and asking you to pay for it with your time and attention.
Whether you’ve been doing this for one day or ten years, you’ve probably noticed that selling online is an entirely different ball game. Today, online sales teams can track your buying patterns and tailor content or offers just for you. Likewise, consumers can investigate you and compare your content, products, or services to those of your competitors. With all this info at their fingertips, consumers now expect personalization.

All writers sell something. You might not always notice it, but a transaction takes place every time you read a piece of content.
