by Paras Singh, Jan 7, 2012

Many company are into content management and blogging is a main part of content enhancement and management! Most of these companies publish their blogs but no one else shares these blogs. Main purpose of publishing the blogs is to for others to share it, forward it etc so that word spreads and marketing happens! Well, your content needs to be extra ordinary and “shareable”. Someone needs to be super impressed to share and forward it! Here are few reasons why your blogs are not getting shared:

  • Probably your timing is bad. It is said that blogs published in the morning, gets “hit” and “viewed” much more than blogs published at night or evening. Know your target market and their lifestyle to “hit it on the head”
  • Your headline may not be very appealing. They are the first impressions of the viewers. Make it in nice fonts and bold it. It catches a readers eyes. If your content is tweeted about, have a fun and appropriate tweet to grab proper attention of the target audience. Make sure headlines spark a sense of urgency and curiosity
  • Developing relations with your readers is important. Make sure you read their comments or even their blogs. Make further comments, reciprocate and be attentive to feedback. This will foster a bond and develop relationships
  • Stop writing only about yourself. Well, blogs are meant to write about your company so that people know you. But it is a slow process. You cannot write 10 blogs in a day praising your company. be more creative and interesting when it comes to topics
  • Your blogs and articles are not clear. There needs to be a positive and definite take away from your blog. If you have nothing new and interesting to offer to the readers, chances are they will not visit you again
  • You may not have “social share” button and still expect people to share?

It is important to put readers and viewers first in order to make sure your blogs are readable and further sharable!

  • Keep in mind your audience and the products and services. Bloggers and writers must be aware of the whom they are writing for. Is it a website selling medicines? Is it selling diapers for kids? Depending on who is going to read it, make the language relevant and user friendly
  • Stick to certain rules and ethics. You will convey much more to the audience by writing in a polite manner. Do not use abusive or politically sensitive language. Also, read other relevant blogs to get an idea of things happening around you. In fact, comment on others blogs and insert your URL there!

Does Marketing Stop at Search Optimized Content

by Paras Singh, Dec 26, 2011

When we think of inbound marketing, we think of search optimized content, great blogs, social media presence, keyword etc. Questions is, is it really true? Does the buck stop there? Well, you will definitely prove to be a savvy inbound marketer, you will be generating good leads, you will be all aggressive on Face book and Twitter, people will be talking about you, people will be clicking on your links etc. Truth is, you are just half way there!

Advertising, mailers, hoardings etc are traditional ways of advertising and marketing. Recently, with the onslaught of the world wide web, social media became a rage and suddenly, reaching out to the customers became comparatively easy. Everything started happening in real time – customer feedback, responses, comments, suggestions, reviews and the like! It was search friendly, useful and easy. Thus, inbound marketing became a sought after and a great way to advertise products and services for marketers.

Sad part is, companies and marketers think that by doing this, their job is done and as long as they get increased clicks and hits on their sites, leads are generated. Well, this is great but it is the first and most primary step to spread awareness. Leads generation and leads conversion are two different things. As they say, it is one thing to get the horse to the water, but altogether a another thing to make the horse drink it! Similarly, customers can come to your website, but will they buy your products and services is the main point. Companies will benefit only if buying happens. This is the tricky, most important and unfortunately overlooked part of SEO (Search Engine Optimization package).

It is very important to know the preferences, tastes, likes and dislikes of your customer, Only once you know it, can you design and modify the product and SEO accordingly. Marketing communications plays an important role but knowing your customer is very crucial. It is an endeavor of companies like EvoMantra, which specializes in the whole package, to give you a proper direction and further optimize the content!
