  What makes a great marketer and the impact he/she has? 1 - Good marketers question the status quo. They continually ask if they are doing the right tasks the right way and then modify if needed. Bad marketers do things ‘because we always do it this way.’ 2 - Good marketers make it their job to know the market, the competition, and the company’s products better than anyone else - and they share their knowledge with other stakeholders at the company. Bad marketers don’t know the product thoroughly and don’t stay up-to-date with the market landscape. 3 - Good marketers measure themselves on revenue generated. Bad marketers measure themselves on leads generated or traffic generated. 4 - Good marketers feel ownership of the go-to-market process end-to-end. Bad marketers blame the product or the sales team for lack of success. 5 - Good marketers define and articulate a strong and unique position for their company, division, and products. Good marketers use easy-to-understand and straig...
Backlinks help you rank high on Google, it's a fact. Here's a simple 3-step framework for ranking almost every article on the TOP SERP positions without spending a fortune on backlinks. 1. Choose high-intent keywords Huge brands often miss a ton of high-quality, low-volume, long-tail keywords. That's your place to shine. 2. Write the best article on the given subject. Look, Google is smart. No need to try hacking the algorithm. If your article is the best in the world for the users' intent, you'll be 1st. User-first content always beats SEO-first content. 3. Don't forget about internal links By linking similar articles in the same niche internally, Google considers you a "topic authority website." This allows you to rank your content faster and better. Hope you enjoyed this quick and effective backlinks guide. And don't miss all our SEO and Content  tips and guides !
Emotions Experiences Engagement The best brands tick all three boxes. If your content isn’t inspiring, educating, motivating, amusing, shocking, surprising, moving, empowering, educating or entertaining your audience... Then you’ll never realise the full potential of what social could do for you. If your content isn’t making people feel a part of something bigger than your social media page i.e. active participants in the community around your brand... Then you’ll never convert your followers into fans. If your content doesn’t drive shares and comments (and you aren’t engaging with your community by responding to their interactions)... Then you’ll never build strong brand affinity. Emotions. Experiences. Engagement. Once you've mastered these you can move on and choose the best type of content marketing for you.

Blog genuinely and tap into topics that trigger your customer's interests, not only when you want them to make a purchase, but way ahead of that. * Write blogs that speak to people in different stages of the buyer's journey.
