How to Turn Your Content Into a Marketing Machine
It’s hard to succeed at content marketing without a solid plan. And this template will be a HUGE help. It will take you through all the basic steps you need.
But content marketing is a big undertaking. Too big for a single template to cover.
So going beyond this template, here are some ways to turn your content into an incredible marketing machine.
- More links = better rankings. And more SEO traffic. So make your content link-worthy. And don’t passively wait for the links to come, either. You’ll get a lot more of them with a little outreach.
- Don’t forget on-page SEO, either. (Use our On-Page SEO Template.)
- Sometimes you can sell products directly within your content. But most of the time, that feels unnatural. The solution? Use your content to drive email subscribers. Then sell things to your email list.
- Optimize your site’s user experience. For example, compress any images with TinyPNG before uploading. This will help improve your page speed.
