41. What Makes Customers from Content Different
42. We’ve gone to great lengths to make sure Grow and Convert wasn’t “just another” marketing blog. We made sure it’s received as a premium, advanced content marketing resource.
43. For example: you don’t see any list posts on our site.
44. Almost every post is over 3000 words.
45. Our course, Customers from Content is no different.
46. Here’s what this training program is not:
47. It’s not a giant list of content marketing tactics – Some online courses or in person training programs are a giant buffet. They list a bunch of tactics you could use for SEO, social media, content marketing, etc. and leave it up to you to pick and choose. Customers from Content is the opposite. In our view, you don’t need a training program to list out tactics — you have the entire internet for that. What created a step change for us was filtering the buffet table of options down to a content marketing system, so our marketing teams could do less scattered work, and focus their efforts on a process that reliably pulled in customers at a low cost of acquisition. And it was repeatable, so we could implement this for multiple clients and multiple companies.
48. It doesn’t cover low level tactics – Many online courses are painfully low level: for example a social media strategy program that starts by teaching you how to setup a Facebook group or Instagram account. That’s for beginners. Customers from Content is not for beginners. It’s for content marketers who know the basics (how to setup a blog, etc.) and want to be get great at building qualified traffic via high quality articles that in the end drive leads and sales. So we don’t waste your time with tech implementation. We don’t talk about WordPress setup, we don’t talk setting up SEO plugins, we don’t talk about blog post formatting, we don’t talk about technical setup of communities on different platforms. You know this, or can read it in a thousand places for free. That information is also not evergreen. We could cover setting up a Facebook group, but what if another platform is more popular in 3 years (e.g. Slack groups)?
49. Instead, we cover strategy and systems.
50. Not how to publish content, but what content to publish.
51. Not how to schedule social posts, but how to leverage social (or whether to leverage it at all).
52. Not how to set up a community, but how to make sure it has the best people, stays active and engaged, and produces value for members.
53. That’s evergreen strategy.
54. The one exception is the Google Analytics setup section, which is by necessity tactically detailed.
