A) Content-Marketing

Content-Marketing is writing content with a marketing purpose, a form of indirect advertisement.

Most traditional advertising channels are focused on directly selling a product. If you turn on the TV, you’ll see ads for this a product or service.

The idea with Content-Marketing is, instead of directly pitching your product to your target audience, you create content (article, video, infographic, white papers, etc.) around the problem your product solves, and pitch that instead.

Advantages:

  • No money needed
  • It builds your authority in that area
  • The investment (of time) is paying back longer than an advertisement
