21 Reasons Content Marketing Isn’t Hard
Ready to challenge yourself for content marketing?
Often time you see me offering up a good challenge to better yourself and or your business productivity. It is intended to take you out of your safe zone and stretch yourself. Now what is important to know is that I do practice what I preach.
I was all ready to rock and roll this summer for a Beach Retreat Event in Daytona but uhm well, that ain’t gonna happen. In place of that event, the host didn’t miss a beat and invited me to her challenge event.
Even though I think I have plenty already on my plate – one more thing just means I have more vision for my business. Therefore, today I’d like to share with you the challenge that I accepted from a fellow coach and friend, Kelly McCausey of Love People + Make Money. We have one key thing in common – we both believe in the power of content marketing!!
Content Marketing much? What? Not as often as you know you could be?
The content you create both attracts and serves people with who you want to do business, so when you drop that ball you are missing a lot of opportunities. Now here’s where it gets interesting.
Unlike challenges that I’ve grown accustomed to hosting, Kelly has a great spin (she is so darn clever that Kelly) and I’m excited to participate for the first time. This is her 11th year anniversary! Let me give you the lay of the land and I’ll reveal what I’m going to take on.
The Stretch Yourself Challenge (SYC) is a call to bust out of your comfort zone, do what you’ve never done before and tackle familiar projects in a bigger way in 30 days. It is a complete Content Marketing training with Twenty-One attention-getting activities to choose from.
