● Content marketing is the art of providing relevant, useful content to your customers without selling or interrupting them.

● Instead of pitching your products or services, you are delivering information that makes your customers more informed before they buy.

● Don’t ask “What can you write

about?” Ask “What questions do

you get asked every day”

● Do not gamble your success

on creating cute, clever, fun

content. Produce content people

are ACTUALLY searching for!

Every Moment is a Content Opportunity
