10 ☛ Find New Customers With Blog Articles

Sales pipeline software company writes articles about how to launch a successful business and gets found by potential clients searching for advice.

Channel 10 represents long-form content such as blog articles and podcasts that you have published on assets that preferably you own, such as your website.  This form of content is primarily used for long-term organic discovery on search engines, and for sharing and publishing on other channels.  The content will establish you to search engines as specializing in a particular area.

Creating content is one of the biggest hurdles many businesses face in their digital presence.  This is because identifying topics can feel daunting, and it takes time to research, write, and edit content.  A website with little or no content may rank high in searches for very local areas, but is unlikely to get coverage outside of the immediate vicinity.  This means that if you want to be discovered outside of your immediate area, you need to be creating relevant content for your business.  By using BOLDCRAFT as a guide, you can easily determine what topics to write about.   You will be writing about the problem, your customer’s desire, and their vision of their future life if the problem was solved.

Using AI to discover/write about topics

You can use an Ai tool to help you identify topics around your customer that they may be interested in.  For example, if you are a hardware store, and your target customer for a current campaign is a man, to get article ideas you can use the prompt, “Give me a list of ten topics that a man who shops at hardware stores would be interested in.”  You will be given a list of topics that you can write about or create social media content around.  You can then ask the tool to write articles for you, or generate imagery for you, and then you should edit the results so that you are adding your voice and making the content relevant to your goals.

Using Key Words & Phrases

Investing time in identifying keywords and key phrases that you should be using in your content will provide long-term SEO benefits.  You should spend the time to identify a list of relevant keywords, and then update it as you identify new topics to cover.  Publishing content on your own website is important.  While getting published on a reputable website that links back to yours is good for backlinks, publishing content that belongs to you is even more relevant.
