Does the following phrase sound familiar?
“Why Content Marketing Is Bullshit”
That’s because that’s the exact line I have on one of my email optin forms.
Well today on the show we have…
…Mr. Content-Marketing himself,
Neil Patel.
Neil is here to counter my statement.
And with good cause.
Because content marketing is NOT bullshit (if you do it the right way).
And that’s what Neil is going to do:
Teach you to do it the right way.
So who is Neil Patel?
Well, the Wall Street Journal calls him, “the top influencer on the web,”
And Forbes calls him, “one of the top 10 online marketers.”
Shall I keep going? (because I can!)
So tell me,
Are you trying to get more eyes onto your site?
What about turn those eyes into dollar signs?
Perfect.
That’s what this show is all about –
Through proper content,
Neil’s mastered traffic generation… you’ll see what I mean in the interview.
