If you are here, chances are that you craft content and are attempting to zero in on some form of inspiration for your daily, weekly, or monthly grind; fashioning a beautiful story that gets sent off into the ether, never to be hear from again.

Content marketing is not as complex and complicated as we make it out to be. You don’t have to be an Einstein to be successful.

So, the best thing to do is reach into your pocket and pay a good fee to have quality writing on your site and beyond. Accept no substitutes or interns. Now, that we have that minor issue covered, let’s move on.

So, let’s talk about a simple content marketing strategy!

Many marketers and sales professionals still struggle with the concept of real time marketing. They struggle with social media profiles, improving their reputation currency, and using content to develop an audience – so they can achieve the ultimate by-product of all of these actions which is more sales and higher value sales. Many still see social media as kid’s stuff and are left in the settling digital dust.
