Content Marketing for Startups


Content marketing is one of the simple inbound marketing strategies which involve creating valuable and quality content about the product/ business or the service in the aim to reach a broad target audience. 


SIGNIFICANCE OF CONTENT MARKETING: 

Content marketing primarily focuses on generating more leads thereby increasing the sales by providing impressive and creative content. It also assists in enlightening the customers about the particular product and therefore creates the awareness about the product. Through this, it is found that content marketing does help in earning the customer’s trust and thus helps in developing smooth relationships between the owners and the customers. While traditional marketing (which mainly focused on just the sales) fails in these aspects. Thus, content marketing helps in overall development of customer service which is an underlying important factor for the company’s good reputation. 

WHY DO STARTUPS NEED CONTENT MARKETING? 

Startups are freshly developing business deals which are usually initiated by entrepreneurs or individuals in order to meet the needs of a particular group in the market. Since they are new to the market place, they usually get marketed themselves to the public by using paid ads because the majority of start-ups will not be able to use traditional marketing methods like TV, radio just because they are also too expensive. Practically speaking, paid ads don’t help with the increase in conversion rate but just the company has to pay for every click. So, one of the effective methods for start-ups marketing is content marketing. Research also shows that the conversion rate for a particular business venture through content marketing is increased three times when compared to the paid ads. Also, In this high-speed internet world, digital content marketing through Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, and youtube is another added advantage which helps in the admiration of impressive content about a particular business by the customers and then it also helps them to gain and share the useful information worldwide instantly at their fingertips without any expense. 

GUIDE FOR STARTUPS CONTENT MARKETING: 

• First of all, it is necessary for start-ups marketers to authorize a person or a group of people who can efficaciously supervise the overall startup marketing documented content strategy. 

• Only through the impressive content marketing, start-ups can precisely let the whole world know about their particular goal (why they exist) and the purpose (how they work). Amount of content may vary from a short one to a long one depending on the purpose of whether to drive-in more traffic or to explain the product details or the final decision making content. It is also an additional beneficial thing if the content is been outsourced from the existing content writing professionals. 

• The clear mention about the goal of the business venture can help the marketed content to hit the particular targeted audience so as to receive back the huge response back with the client’s trust and loyalty. 

• Statistical data also shows that more effective startup marketers allocate a comparable budget just for the content and it is good if the content is marketed through diverse ways like blog posts, videos, infographics, magazines, emails, websites in order to get a good reach to the targeted audience. 

• Importantly, usage of trending keywords in the content and optimizing the content for search engines makes the content marketing more successful and hence more persuasive the startup marketers will be.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Politics - A Profession

This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While having a LinkedIn profile is not a certificate of a person character, one has to appreciate the intent. Reach out to masses, and more importantly, take politics as a profession. Successful leader...
