| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 05:02 AM PDT Content marketing has been around for decades. One of the earliest samples of that is Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack, which he used to promote his printing company. Even now that we've entered another new decade, content marketing is thriving and are now being showcased in a myriad of other platforms. In fact, if a content marketing strategy is executed properly, it could result in a booming business. It's quite easy to go viral these days, but you have to go viral for a positive reason. With every like and share, your brand will grow bigger. 1 - Know your goals Determining what you want to achieve is the most crucial step in creating an effective content marketing strategy. This is where you make the biggest decisions and base your actions off of. The usual goal for brands is to get more hits for their website or their blog. Others only aim to get more subscribers to their email list. And then there's those who just want their brand to have compelling content that will have the millennials talking. The concept is for you to produce content that's relevant enough for your customers to always check out your products. 2 - Connect with your audience and speak to them in a way that's easy for them to understand If you want your content marketing strategy to become effective, you should know and understand your audience and the voice that you want to convey to them. Let's say you're targeting a much older demographic, you can reach out to them by showcasing your brand's authority or legitimacy. Older folks tend to trust brands that are reliable or have been around for years. On the other hand, younger demographics are more likely to pay attention if you use social media to your advantage. They like sharing stuff that's interesting to them. So make sure that you use this for your strategy. Content doesn't have to be just in written form, you can also create videos and images that can go viral. Google Analytics is a helpful tool that can show you what type of content is currently performing well for your target market. It can aid you in finding out what they're reading and clicking on, where they're located, and when's the exact time that they're doing this. Identifying all this can help you design a strategy for your content. 3 - Choose your content However, brands are becoming more innovative with their strategies. They have tapped influencers on Instagram and YouTube to promote their brand. They've also created campaigns that involve augmented reality technology on Facebook. Some have produced podcasts, physical magazines, webisodes, even collaborations with other big brands. The best thing to do if you're a new brand is to find a couple of platforms to focus on and then branch out as your brand grows. See, as your brand gets bigger, your audience does too. Your content marketing strategies will also become more effective as you'll learn what works and what doesn't for your brand. Eventually, you'll even have the authority to directly ask your audience to inform you what type of content they'd like to see you produce. 4 - Be consistent in promoting your content Once you've already have an arsenal of awesome content in your back pocket, you now need to know the right way to promote these bad boys. You're already consistent with your posting schedule, but you also need the same consistency with your promotion. You can start by having an email list that your audiences can sign up for. An email newsletter is one of the most common methods that brands use to build their visibility and engagement. You can also use these emails to check out the analytics of your campaign's performance. Another way is to use social media pages to promote content. Sites also allow users to have the option to pay for their posts to have better visibility. It's also important that you learn about search engine optimization or SEO. This is the secret to making your brand appear on the first page of Google. SEO is all about helping you rank and be recognized as a legit business on search engines. It also helps in letting more people see your content, provided that they search for relevant keywords. Lastly, make sure that you have a content calendar that's not too tedious and not too relaxed. Build up a schedule that you and your team can work on. Too much content and people might get annoyed at your brand. Too little content and you might end up being forgettable. Creating a content marketing strategy is a difficult job in the beginning. But it's super worth it once you've tapped into the right forms of content and promotion. Disclaimer: I am running a content marketing platform called https://rulecontent.com that provides clients with original and engaging content to create a flow of traffic and customers to their businesses. We created our own blog software that lets us publish the content directly on their blogs, so that they can focus on running their business while we run their blog. [link] [comments]  |
| Young CEOs: How do they do it? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 12:14 PM PDT We've seen a great rise in what are, frankly, extremely young CEOs. Of course, I'm referring to founders and co-founders (or very early employees) of start-ups, largely in the tech sector. Whilst many of these start-ups fail, possibly due to the CEOs having no idea what they're doing, there are a few exciting companies that I've been reading up about, who have young and, quite frankly, inexperienced CEOs. One such example is a London based FinTech where the founder has 2 years of experience in Investment Banking at a BB, before a year as a 'Investment Executive' (executive being a very grandiose term for 'Associate'). This guy then went onto co-found a FinTech, with this CEO having no coding skills of note. How does this CEO know what to do, for example, what financial statements he needs to prepare, what regulations they need to adhere to, how to attract investors etc. as well as managing the company itself?

| I want to buy the company I work for, how should I go about it? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 10:55 AM PDT I have been with this company for only a year and 4 months. What a 10 man team was doing, I have re-strategized and turned the job from a 10 man team into a 1 man team. I am not management, just an entry level employee. Management only ever allows me to run the show with my 1 man team, as no other employees have been able to do it as I have. That being said, I believe I can take the company much further and make it exponentially more profitable. The owner is selling, or at least wants to. It is for $16 mil so it's not something I can feasibly purchase myself. My idea is to go to the owner and let him know my interest in buying, ask him "if I can find funding, would you sell the company to me?" And then with his permission go and apply with every angel investor I can find. Is this the right way to go about it? I'm getting FOMO with this opportunity pretty bad haha. [link] [comments]  |

| What does it take to start a IT recruiting firm in California? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 09:11 AM PDT Scratching my own itch here. I dealt with interviewing candidates for a while now in the company I work for. Biggest timesuck is interviewing. What does it take to build a recruiting firm? What legal due diligence needs to be taken care of? I feel like I have a feel for finding who fits in what type of a company, and what it takes to coach a person to fit into a company. The end goal is kind of what Triplebyte does, but more. I want to get rid of whiteboard/algorithm challenges for non-FAANG companies. It's a waste of time and energy, but something that has to be done - because bad hires are too risky. But smaller companies stunt their growth trying to emulate FAANG. I want to build a platform that can vet good programmers so that companies - and candidates - don't have to do whiteboard coding challenges, study algorithms. I want to bring programmers in an apprenticeship model, where we drop them into a team, pay them, and work them into a programmer that will match into companies that care for their employees. Sure, it's a moonshot goal, but this problem of hiring tech personnel has been around for a LONG LONG time, and now there are a cottage industry of just training people to pass the quizzes, how to whiteboard code, etc.. For a startup (like where I work in), this means nearly 4 hours of my time not working on what needs to be get done. If a company can offload at least 80% of that, I think that's possible. However, first step is how to start a recruiting business. What's the bare minimum I need to set up to get going? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 11:51 AM PDT Hi entrepreneurs, as part of a research that we've been doing here at wrongproject.com, I'd be happy to learn from you as entrepreneurs, what websites do you visit most often for gaining inspiration and entrepreneurship knowledge? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 10:47 AM PDT Hi entrepreneurs, I'm a journalist-turned PR consultant, about 20 years' experience helping clients reach their audiences. Worked with all kinds of companies, from start-ups and SMEs through to PLCs with multi-billion turnovers. I've just found myself furloughed for three months so I've been kicking some ideas round about how I can use my skills and experience productively and I'm leaning towards drafting an e-book. The subject would be how entrepreneurs can harness PR activity themselves without needing to pay an agency or freelancer to do some basics (for more advanced stuff I'd recommend getting a pro in). Would that be of interest as an e-book to entrepreneurs like you? I know many of you will do your own PR and no doubt do it very well, but there may be others who would appreciate some ideas and insights. If anyone thinks they could use this let me know and I'll share it (once it's written) as a freebie if you promise to give me some honest feedback. Thank you. Edit: What are some e-books you really rate? [link] [comments]  |
| Opportunity for a Ghost Kitchen, now? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 10:27 AM PDT Wondering what the community thinks about the current market circumstances and it's viability to support a ghost kitchen. Here are some of my thoughts and concerns: -The ghost kitchen (GK) should be profitable first and foremost in a non-pandemic situation (location, market, offerings, etc) -Con: Increased competition now that *every* restaurant is currently in the take out and/or delivery market. -Pro: Increased visibility from consumers on lock-down. i.e. more screen time means more eyeballs on more advertising for longer. -Pro: Potential to negotiate a very favorable, short-term kitchen-share arrangement with local restaurants since they are surely well below capacity. Great for test-marketing. - Pro: From previous, can quickly start and operate under said restaurant's licenses. -Neutral: Delivery services (grubhub, door dash, etc) over-capacity but so is everyone else using those same services. -Con: possible(?) decrease in overall externally-prepared consumption (i.e. market contraction). Offset somewhat depending on market segment. So I guess the question is, is it a good time to start a ghost kitchen? [link] [comments]  |

| Feedback on my site and product? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 10:05 AM PDT Hi all, I launched a clothing brand as a passion project/side business. Now I'm furloughed so I have more free time. Can you let me know what you think about the product and site? [link] [comments]  |

| Advice for improving oneself during this downtime? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 09:37 AM PDT As a newbie entrepreneur, I recently formed a new team to validate a new problem. Unfortunately, in the current crisis, I have very limited access to my potential customers (phone calls and teleconferencing included).I used to get a 10%-20% weekly response rate for potential customer interviews. Now it's just crickets. I guess people are just not interested in interviews and talking when their livelihoods are on the line. To better position myself once this is all over, I am reading and re-reading some good classic entrepreneur books (Disciplined Entrepreneurship, Lean Startup, etc..) and also studying the industry (digital advertising/IG influencing). Is there anything else I can do during this time to prepare? [link] [comments]  |
| Website / Pricing Model Feedback Posted: 04 Apr 2020 08:53 AM PDT Hi there! My friend and I own a small web design business that's only been around a few months now. We recently re-did our website and implemented a new business model. Our target niche is small, local businesses who can't afford big design agency websites but also don't want to DIY their website. We offer a few different tiers of monthly plans and we also have add-ons they can choose from. We've been getting a decent amount of clicks with Facebook and Google ads, but no conversions yet. I just wanted to get people's opinions on our site and pricing structure from a small business owner perspective. Pretend you're looking to have a website professionally designed and built. Is everything easy to understand? Do you think the pricing of the plans makes sense? Is there anything that turns you off? Is there anything you would do differently? We're just trying to get an idea of how to improve the conversion rates. We're thinking of trying a landing page instead of leading them directly to the pricing page. Our ads that take them directly to the home page aren't converting either. Any feedback is appreciated! Also posted this in the small business subreddit [link] [comments]  |
| Tips I've Learned So Far From 2 Weeks of Trying To Source Inventory Solely Online Posted: 04 Apr 2020 08:25 AM PDT For the past few weeks I've been running a part experiment part attempt to do something productive during this whole lockdown and make some cash where I try to scale a flipping business by sourcing *mostly online (I do have some significant stock of inventory in various categories that was purchased pre shutdown that I've been supplementing. Like everyone else though, that can only last for so long). Here are the five biggest tips I've learned so far over the past few weeks:
I'll also leave you guys specifically with a bonus tip I didn't put in the video: I've been having some success playing categories where there is a wide spread between trash and valuable within the product segment in smaller online auctions. Categories like watches, binoculars, Hot Wheels, etc. Each of these categories (and many others) require a bit of homework but if you do your homework, you can spot things that others don't. If you're interested, I go into far more detail on each of these points in my Youtube video here: [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 07:46 AM PDT What's your opinion on consulting firms for businesses? Are they a bunch of mumbo jumbo?

| Get your best biz ideas while working out? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 06:09 AM PDT Since being on lockdown, I occasionally work out with a friend of mine on Zoom. We talk about business and do push-ups, squats,…bodyweight exercises for time. We get the best ideas when moving and help each other out. I would love to expand this and create groups of 3 entrepreneurs in similar time zones to meet on Monday morning and have a stand-up meeting: like a mastermind with movement. I run a business coaching programme and events, so I can bring a lot of value to the group. Anyone interested in trying this out? I want to test things out, and I'm looking for 3 CEOs to help me figure out the format over the next month. You'll get moving in the meantime :) Leave a comment with your time zone if you're in. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
