Online ContentI love the energy and excitement of a new client relationship.  The anticipation of getting to know one another and learning together, it’s exhilarating.  Until the client asks: “So when we update our online content, we’ll be able to double our bottom line, right?”

Whoa.  And I can sprinkle happy dust on the grouches of the world!

I am amazed how many business people think quality online content will miraculously increase customers and revenue.  So, I thought I would make a quick list of what content – totally awesome “content is king” content – can really do for your business.

Online Content Can

  • Increase brand awareness
  • Build customer loyalty
  • Generate leads
  • Promote website traffic
  • Nurture past, current and future customers
  • Educate, entertain and engage

Online Content Cannot

  • Close a sale without a call to action and follow up plan
  • Guarantee increased revenues
  • Increase prospects without a tool to collect readers’ contact information
  • Be the end all, be all, answer to achieving business growth goals
  • Increase website traffic without consistent posting and implementing search engine ranking strategies
