Sadly, others think of email marketing as an old-school marketing tactic that simply does not work anymore.

Okay, so what is email marketing?

Email marketing is the process of sending emails to promote your business. These emails are typically sent to prospects to help convince them to buy your products and services. Or, they are sent to existing customers to encourage repeat purchases.

Either way, there is an art to using email marketing, and when used correctly, it can help you grow your business.

Our company used content marketing to generate over 5 MILLION visitors to our website over the last 3 years. ​

But, I’ve noticed, A LOT of small business owners still don’t fully understand what content marketing is and why they should be using it.

Today, I’m going to fully define content marketing, tell you why it is the BEST way to grow your business, why most people fail, and my top tips for success.

So, what is content marketing?

Content is anything that you create that users interact with - blogs, videos, infographics, social media posts, downloadable pdfs, and so on.

Content is the way that people get to know your business, in a non-invasive way.

They consume your content, trust you as an authority, and are more likely to do business with you as a result.

This sounds simple, right?

Why then, is content marketing so hard for most people to grasp for their business?

Why aren’t YOU using content marketing?

I’ll tell you - it’s because content marketing is slow to work, and sometimes tricky to measure.

Let’s use the example I just provided.

I spent about $250 on products from the author of the book I read.

Let’s say, for example, the author spent $10,000 to make the content. Let’s also say that 3-months went by, and 10 other customers did the exact same thing I did - read the book and spent $250. That’s $2,500 in revenue.

Many people I know will look at this and say “I spent $10,000. Only made $2,500. Yeah, the numbers aren’t adding up here, Sherman. Let’s cut this off”.

They choose a short-window to measure ROI and fail to realize the long-term impact of content.

But if 300 people make the same purchases I did over the next 2-years, then the company would have made $75,000 from a $10,000 investment.

All it takes is long-term commitment from your end, and the right content marketing strategy.

- You want to get potential customers from seeing your ad to actually making a purchase
- It directly impacts your performance and costs on advertising platforms such as Facebook and Google
- It is a reflection of your advertising strategy

If you are not actively monitoring your CTR, you are missing the opportunity to measure and analyze your ads and audience to be more effective at moving potential customers from simply being aware of your brand to actually clicking and engaging​

Marketing during a recession is very challenging. But our team at LYFE Marketing has navigated our way through a recession, and we can tell you how you can do the same. ​

In Q2 2020, it was reported that consumer sentiment and GDP declined in the US (and many other countries around the world).

This means people are conserving their spend and unless you're an "essential" company then you're likely going to see some downturn.

Even the biggest technology companies in the world like Google and Facebook are reporting lower advertising spends.

But what did you expect?  Here's the truth.

Our world is always evolving and history has shown that the economy moves in cycles.

And some businesses, including our agency, have already been preparing for the inevitable recession. 

So in this podcast, I breakdown how to handle marketing during a recession.

We're going to go over 3 simple steps on navigating your marketing during an economic downturn including on your digital networks.​​​

What is social media management, and how is it different from social media marketing? In this social media management for beginners course, we'll discuss social media benefits, how to be a social media manager, & how to develop a social media management strategy.​

This can be confusing for a lot of people because there’s so many terms. There’s social media marketing, social media advertising, social media management, and so on. 

Social media advertising  is the process of running paid advertisements on social media news feed that direct people to an external destination, like your website.
