00:10:08 In its core content is what people want, read and use it. It’s an art with keywords and understanding your target audience. Therefore, quality content can only be created by writing towards your target audience and fulfilling their needs, wants and dreams.

Joshua asked

00:11:10 What is your framework when you create content?

Bob:

Authoritative content has become so important that link building has lost its charm in the content game. Content needs to be created to encompass the keywords, topics, and niches. Adding the right images and video also makes it attractive for the user. Authoritativeness gives small businesses a chance to compete with larger companies.

With the help of Joshua, she is going through an excruciating process to update her posts and content. Thus, since then, she has seen fruitful outcomes.

Firuze

00:15:00 When Firuze’s software company was ready to launch, they were unaware that people were searching for a solution like theirs. Since there was no similar solution in the market, they could not figure out how people expressed their needs, pains or frustration in searching for a product like theirs. Besides, they also ran Adwords campaigns without any positive returns. When Firuze found out that people were discussing the software in a couple of marketing forums, she understood which keywords or phrases to identify the problem. As a result, they listed those keywords and created content accordingly on their Blog website. They posted on issues facing marketers, and they linked the blog and website to each other. Moreover, they established partnerships with other companies and published mutual press releases, which helped build their links, SEO, and brand reputation.

00:16:56 No matter what business you are running, you should attract attention. The first item to think about is how you will make searchers click on your links at the SERPs. This is the foundational piece in your content creation process. Secondly, once they are at your site, your goal is to get their information (name, email, telephone etc.). Therefore, your site must be legitimate and trustworthy for them to feel confident enough to share their Information. The third action we want to see is to make people purchase our products or solutions. The question is how we would make them trust our solution or product.

00:19:05 She would like to express some context around how the web evolved to today’s point

Web.1.0 was about creating content and putting it on a website.

Web.2.0 was about user-generated content and blogging

Web.3.0 is about Neurol Networks, Natural Language Processing, Semantic Web etc., blockchain.

Back in the old days, Content Authority was built through backlinking. Therefore, everybody tried to get as many links as possible. In contrast, today, authoritative content can be established through high-quality content.

Recently, Information and content have been democratized and widely available to the masses. As marketers, we try to give customers information to make more informed decisions. Because they have higher expectations ever than before thus, marketers need to meet users’ expectations and communicate with their customers with the right tone of messaging. Under these circumstances, we need to create helpful content on multiple touchpoints and marketing channels. So, content has become a very central aspect of marketing. Without a content strategy, you can’t make a marketing strategy. Without a content strategy, you cannot have a successful business strategy and profitability.  They were all interrelated and intertwined with each other.

00:23:15 The value of the content is critical because actual content answers the customers’ questions precisely. There are tons of content out there, but the approach should be asking yourself, “Am I adding value? Am I adding value in answering the questions?” or “Am I being seen as an expert and authority by my audience with the content I’ve created?”

Of course, depending on your messaging style on the web, you might need pictures, videos, podcasts, blog posts etc. However, you always aim to create value for your audience through high quality and relevant content.
