The latest marketing stats suggest that 74% of consumers prefer to receive commercial communications through their email.
But if this true, then why are people still choosing to unsubscribe from certain emails?
Figuring out where you went wrong is the first thing you need to do to stop those numbers dropping.
And that’s why I’ve compiled a list of the top 9 reasons people might be unsubscribing from your emails (and how to stop them, of course!)
Quality versus quantity is the question on a lot of content marketers’ minds right now.
It’s the same type of questions all over my news feeds.
Which is better? Where should our priorities stand? If we have to create a huge quantity of content, where will we find time for quality content? What if I spend a lot of time on quality content and it doesn’t pay off? Will I have to pull 16 hour days to get this done? Will the quality of my regular content suffer? Will this make me lose customers? Is it worth the risk?
In summary: There’s too much to do, too little time, too little confidence.
But I’m here to try change your tune.
I’m going to convince you, with all the energy I can muster up, to start creating big content.
There’s a lot of content marketing myths circulating the web and sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between what’s real and what’s fiction.
But finding out the facts is crucial to business.
Why?
Because working off of incorrect information is just asking for trouble.
It’s like punishing a dog for eating a kid’s homework. We all know the dog didn’t eat the homework. Dogs don’t even like paper!
I really don’t want you jumping to any conclusions about content marketing. I don’t want you to make any decisions based off myths. And I certainly don’t want you to blame the dog for something he didn’t do.
Instead, I want you and your business to work to the best of your abilities, and that means being informed about the facts.
So that’s why I’ve trawled through the internet and found the most reoccurring and popular myths around, and have worked to debunk them so that you don’t have to.
We all know that social media is crucial to creating a successful business nowadays, but are all social media platforms worth the same amount of your time and money?
