10 Common Reasons Why Content Marketing Isn’t Working for You

Is it content marketing working? Just because something is common, popular, or important doesn’t automatically mean that it’s working. 1. You haven’t refined your strategy. 2. You dont spend much on content marketing. 3. You aren’t promoting your content. 4. Your content sucks. 5. You’re in a tough niche. 6. You’re up against a goliath of a competitor. 7. You haven’t waited long enough. 8. You have horrible SEO. 9. Your expectations are too high. 10. You’re not having any fun with it.

Why No One’s Reading Your Marketing Content

There’s been plenty written about how to create smart digital marketing content. But less attention gets paid to what happens after you click “publish” and whether your videos, infographics, social media posts, and other pieces of content are actually reaching the right people. According to Altimeter, only a quarter of content marketers actually invest in distribution, even though more than half recognize that it’s a critical need.

Your Product Demo Sucks Because It’s Focused on Your Product

“This. Is. Awesome. I’ve been on both sides of horrible demos and 100% of the time the reason they were horrible was that the demo wasn’t focused on the prospect, but was on the product. I love the suggestion to run the “5-minute Discovery Session” at the start of the demo, with an emphasis on saying “5-minutes” so that the prospect doesn’t just say “no, let’s get started.” The part about getting agreement on their “before” state and their “after” state is awesome. In fact, that’s awesome after the sale, too (though keep track of that so you don’t have to ask again post-sale, just re-verify) to kick off your Customer Success process with them. And this: “A great demo is really a conversation with your product as the backdrop.” … glorious!” – Lincoln Murphy
