Utilise a content marketing funnel to drive more leads
There needs to be plan and an objective behind your content marketing. While being spontaneous may occasionally work, this isn’t an advised course of action. General content marketing is all well and good, but the requirement for funnels that logically steer readers from an introduction to a sale cannot be ignored. No doubt you’ll want to get started with your content marketing funnel quickly, so consider the following three questions:
10 ways to build Facebook interaction
According to Sysomos (a leading provider of social media monitoring and analytics tools), only four per cent of Facebook pages achieve more than 10,000 followers. Facebook may be big, it may have hundreds of millions of users, but all these individuals are thinly spread across many millions of pages.
What makes a great technical copywriter?
There is huge demand for technical copywriters, and those few who master this skill are guaranteed to be rarely out of work. There is good reason for this – technical copywriting is built on two very different foundations: technical expertise and writing ability. Just like making mayonnaise, technical copywriters have to carefully blend together two ingredients that do not naturally want to combine. In addition, rather than writing for an uninformed audience (common practice for most copywriters), technical copywriters are required to write for individuals who are as (or in many cases more) experienced than themselves. Each point they make, therefore, has to be carefully considered, to avoid leaving the author open to criticism. Consequently, technical copywriting tends to be done by the most experienced writers, the cream of the crop.

Copy writing for the web: how digital content differs from print media copy
You don’t need a content marketing agency such as Snack Media to tell you that digital content is different to print media; for starters, one is something tangible you can hold in your hand and the other is floating out there in the electronic ether. But aside from the obvious differences, there are a few technical pointers that need to be considered when writing for the web. Here are some top tips to bear in mind when creating digital content:
Online marketing: why tone of voice matters
Online marketers should always use the correct tone of voice when talking to their customers. Most businesses are defined by three things: the way they look, the way they sound and the way they behave - tone of voice is a crucial part of the second of these categories.
Print media copywriting: continuing to thrive
Don’t believe the hype - copywriting for newspapers and magazines is alive and well. While some journalists and marketers have long been predicting the demise of print, you only need to look at the plethora of publications on newsagent stands - not to mention the ever-strong presence of display advertising - to understand that this prediction is at best short sighted and at worst, simply incorrect. Indeed, two of the UK’s best-known newspapers, the Daily Mail and i (the condensed version of The Independent) reported an increase in sales towards the end of 2011 - despite the competition posed online. Meanwhile, tabloids as a whole performed relatively strongly over the course of the year.
Copywriting for marketing
It’s true that the distinction between content marketing and copywriting is occasionally blurred - fortunately, though, the differences can be explained succinctly. Content marketing concerns the development of well-written copy for a marketing purpose - an organisation, for example, publishes an innovative, in-demand report that really stimulates interest. In exchange for this information, it will ask for the reader’s email address and permission to inform them about other developments in the future. Examples include white papers, blogs, viral videos and printed marketing literature.
Content marketing strategy: counting the ripples
In order for content to work there has to be a strategy in place. Strategy enables marketers to measure the effects their content is having, count the ripples each element is making and refine those aspects that are most successful. Of course this doesn’t mean we, as content engineers, have to be completely rigid; a good strategy will allow for flexibility, leaving room to adapt and pursue new, innovative, uncharted avenues and reach fresh audiences.

Google Panda update: the end of poor quality content?
Google's Panda update signals the end of poor quality content on the web. Google is conscious of improving people’s browsing experience. In an online world where content is king, it’s become more important to boost the visibility of sites boasting better quality content, and this is the premise behind Google’s Panda update. How to survive post-Panda? In short, your website needs to boast quality, authoritative content.
