1. Creating the Bait

In sales 101, the first thing we need to do is to create the need before you sell anything.

In other words, you need a bait. Using content as a bait is the perfect way to ‘hook’ your audience.

In fact, there are numerous searches on Google every day. If you have been producing relevant content on your website, you are effectively building a pipeline of organic traffic that is demand-based and highly convertible for your business. Of course, your website must be properly optimized via SEO implementation at the first place in order for your articles to be surfaced on search results.

If you do not have search engine optimization implemented on your website, you can drive traffic via Facebook and Linkedin as well. It is a cheap way to drive quality traffic to your website as the cost per click for content is much lower compared to an advertisement.

Moreover, a brand that displays expertise inspires confidence in consumers.

Won’t you be more confident and comfortable seeking a product or service from a brand because it provides useful information that helps you in your decision-making?

That said, having useful relevant content on your website is akin to having great salesmanship on print.
