How to Boost Leads by 450% in 6 Simple Steps
Happy Wednesday,
Did you know?? ?? You can achieve the highest conversion & traffic rates by publishing just 2-4 blog posts each week.
In fact, publishing over 16 pieces of content monthly can net you 350% more traffic and up to 450% more leads!
So then, how did I extrapolate 6 steps from that one, simple piece of advice?
Because it isn’t that effortless.
Your content must be valuable, original, and personalized to your target audience.?
But, we started with a sales and marketing objective: to maximize your qualified leads, right?
What happens when hooking your juiciest qualified leads ?? is at odds with your customer’s need for valuable, original, relevant content?
Worse still, both may clash with the need for your content to establish you as an authority in your niche.
See, I promised I could complicate this for us, no?
And that’s before we remember Google.
In August, news broke that “originality” is getting a buff ???
Moving forward, it’s more vital than ever before as a factor in #searchengineoptimization (SEO).
Suddenly, producing 16 pieces of profitable content each month isn’t so painless…
…particularly when your expertise and passion aren’t in creative writing.
Fortunately, a data-driven content calendar simplifies your content marketing efforts and maximizes campaign ROI.
It accomplishes this by optimizing for organization, transparency, and productivity.?
Best of all, it’s easy to prepare one for your business, even under these tough constraints.

2 年Topic clusters are a great way to keep a more narrow focus when writing content. It can be easy to get overwhelmed with wanting to write about everything your business does but creating topic clusters can make writing easier and more manageable. Also a great way for a company to show E-A-T!
