Title: The Seven Biggest Online Marketing Opportunities You Are Not Tapping Into
1The Seven Biggest Online Marketing Opportunities
You Are Not Tapping Into
2- Most companies today set a budget for marketing.
A few companies spend upwards of 25,000 a month
to bolster their online presence on search
engines, in social media, and everywhere else on
the web. Regardless of the size of your online
marketing budget there are some very common areas
that most companies completely ignore. These are
often the biggest, and best, opportunities for
making massive headway online.
3Opportunity 1 Real content developed by your
clients
- While your SEO company may be creating blog posts
for you, uploading YouTube videos and posting on
social media, most of those efforts are nowhere
near as valuable as a piece of real content from
the actual business that you conduct day-to-day.
For example, a campaign where you ask your real
clients to post a picture or video showing them
engaging with your product or service can have
massively better results than anything an
outsider can develop for you. - In a specific example, a company that makes
fitness gear such as gloves or shoes might start
a contest where they ask their clients to take a
simple video of themselves wearing their gear in
the gym and post it with specific hashtags. Those
who post the most engaging content that gets the
most traction online in the form of likes and/or
comments receive a prize (some free gear) and a
discount on new gear.
4Opportunity 2 Real content developed within
your company
- Just as a real piece of content showing your
customers using your product or service is much
more effective, real content produced by you and
your employees in-house can work wonders. Today
the algorithms used by Google, large social media
outlets and other search engines are intelligent
enough to identify content that actually engages,
as opposed to content that simply takes up space.
Google and other search engines have learned to
ignore content that does not engage. - For example, an Italian restaurant that makes
great pizza in a brick oven might post a video
taken with an iPhone by one employee in the
kitchen as another throws the pizza dough up in
the air and attempts to make the perfect pie,
while two other employees cheer him on, or even
tease him a bit. A clothing company may post
pictures of employees actually engaged in the art
of making the apparel or using a silkscreen
machine to brand it.
5Opportunity 3 Truly educational content
- While many SEO companies have writers who can
create large volumes of content for you, the
reality is that the most engaging content is that
which truly educates the general public and your
specific target audience. For example, a real
estate agent might write an educational article
about a few simple things that homeowners can do
in an hour or less on the morning of their open
house in order to make their home even better for
the day. - In another instance a marketing company might put
out an article, just like this one, educating
potential clients on how they can get maximum
results from their marketing by doing simple
things on their own. While this may seem less
fruitful than simply advertising your services,
it can actually do a lot more in the long term
for your companys growth by establishing the
trust of your potential clients.
6Opportunity 4 Content created with passion
- I have published content to websites using
marketing companies, marketing departments, or
individuals told to create content specifically
for the website. Even companies with blogs
typically feature content that their clients,
employees, and even they themselves would never
bother to read because the material was not
written with passion. If you are able to generate
content written by someone with true passion for
the subject you will generate much more buzz,
more traffic and greater goodwill with those who
read the content of your website or blog. - Of course, the easiest way to attain content
written with passion is to have a blog where your
own employees have the opportunity to write guest
pieces and even have their own individual blogs.
As they begin to write about the things in the
business they are passionate about, you will not
only have a lot more content, but you will have
content that truly engages your potential
clients, and influencers who can connect you with
vast numbers of people.
7Opportunity 5 Extremely targeted individual
pages on your website
- Creating individual pages that target something
specific, such as a small geographic region or a
small category of products or services, can be a
very effective way of not only ranking for
long-tail keyword phrases, but also generating
content that specifically targets a potential
client. A plumber for example, who services a
specific county with 35 different cities might
launch 35 individual web pages with unique
content written for each of those individual
cities. This adds a very personal touch to the
service that they provide and the search engines
will favor these pages over generic pages of the
website. Potential clients are directed to a page
that gives them the feeling of a personal touch.
8Opportunity 6 Tapping into all major social
media outlets, instead of just the one or two you
personally like using
Each person has a different preference when it
comes to social media. They may find themselves
spending a lot of time on Facebook while not
engaging in Twitter or Google. The reality is
that all the top 15 social media outlets have a
great following and companies should have written
plans and procedures that consistently create
engaging content on all of these platforms. Doing
so will generate a following of different types
of people on various networks with different
interests and angles.
9Opportunity 7 Cross-promoting your content
- Now that you are utilizing all social media
outlets, your employees are engaged in blogging,
your customers are posting pertinent content
about how your product or service is used in the
real world and you are generating buzz with your
extremely engaging content, its time to ensure
that they all connect well. While this seems like
an obvious thing to do, its probably the most
difficult task because it requires massive
planning and systems to ensure that all content
follows some simple guidelines that allow it to
be connected to other content. Thus a blog post
created by an employee is instantaneously
supported by posts to all the major social media
outlets, backed up with PR efforts and included
in your next email marketing campaign. This
ensures your content does not simply sit on a
website collecting dust and being crawled
occasionally by a search engine that doesnt send
traffic to your stale page. - The simple steps outlined above can be the start
of an incredible marketing campaign for your
company. Utilize them well and watch your
rankings and your traffic soar. If you arent
able to develop systems to keep all these wheels
turning simultaneously in-house, engage with a
marketing company that provides these services
specifically and knows exactly how to maintain a
system like this. Whatever you do, the minute you
put down this article go create a real piece of
content about your company and put it out there
for the world to see.
