SEO Content Marketing

seo content marketingSEO content marketing is an area that many people are beginning to show more interest in. It’s not something that happens very quickly. Content marketing takes planning, deliberation and execution. If you are thinking about SEO content marketing, then read on. These 5 items will give you better direction, and confidence as you move forward.

The first thing to consider is article marketing. Although many people do blog posting, article marketing is by far the most effective way to do content marketing. You can post articles to article directories. Another thing to consider is posting articles on the websites of other people, with links back to your own site. If you aren’t good at writing, then you might consider outsourcing. Better yet, there are software packages online that help you write articles using a template or outline. Additionally, there are tools that let you write your article once, and then ‘spin’ the article in hundreds of versions of the same thing.

Next you want to build credibility and authority. By focusing your articles on reliable information, you are building credibility. With links embedded in your articles, your credibility draws your readers to click your links. Of course these links can be to products or services that you get commissions for. Start visiting forums and blogs that relate to your subject. Read the comments and post comments of your own. You’ll learn alot in just a few days of consistently reading these postings.

Third is new information. When you provide something new to your audience, they will appreciate the value you are providing. Start subscribing to RSS feeds or alerts on the web. As these alerts and feeds arrive in your email box, you’ll be on top of the latest news about your subject. You can then use this new info in your content to your audience. Staying on top of your information is where the real value will come across. Your readers will be very happy that you are doing the work for them.

The fourth item has to do with distribution. Don’t even think of posting your content in one place. Article directories are fine, but that’s just one distribution channel. Start thinking about social media postings, other websites, product site reviews, newsletters and short email courses. As a matter of fact, create a short ten part course in educating your readers about your subject. Use an auto responder to deliver this content every few days.

SEO content marketing can be tons of fun if you organize, plan and execute carefully. Some people consider it a chore and boring, but if you are passionate about the topic, then you’ll find yourself becoming a master and maybe even a guru to people on the web. You might even be able to start a community around your chosen topic.

This week, choose a topic that you are passionate about. Start doing your research about it. Write a few short articles on the topic. Post them to a blog and share it!
