Content Marketing
Instead of
Yelling about YOUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES in purchased media ...
... You create and distribute content that focuses on the problems and challenges of your prospects.
Your prospects will search and find your content and then visit your site / facebook page etc.
There you identify them and engage them in an ongoing dialogue.
or Inbound marketing
What’s it all about?

Ok, prospect is on your page.
You want to capture the lead.
You set the mousetrap.
Two challenges

HOW do yo integrate your mousetraps with the cheese/bait content?
1. Layout - Where on the page do you place the mousetrap?
2. Context - What mousetrap goes on what bait page?

Look!
We screw up too!
“This is where web sites go to die”
“This the column of the walking dead.
Web zombie land”
“No one ever clicked here. They never will”
“This is the awful black hole of the web,
it sucks out all light from your web site”
“This is the awful black hole of the web, it
sucks out all light from your web site”
Ok, that was layout.
What about content vs context?
