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.

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

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...

"My cousin touched me there"

Note: When Tan suggested me to post this here...I gave it a thought. I felt he was right.  yeha I know in the election times ..people would be more inclined to politics. Well still..just give it a read :) For the first time when she came in I knew she is going to be one of my best pals. she was bubbly chirpy sociable and a caring human being.she was I felt my true copy. But what I felt wasn't true and I'd never known that trait of hers which never matched mine had such a reason behind it. She never liked to talk or be familiar to the opposite sex. I found this irritating but I just used to remember all her other traits which brought her close to me and made her one of the closest beings to me on this Earth. As she and I had got very close in friendship that we began sharing secrets which we never thought would come out of our mind. And I thought I understood her as I thought she was me. Then one day as we were alone in my room I asked her why she was so unfamiliar and irritat...
