Hi Reader, How do you come back from an unannounced month-long break from your newsletter? With a power-packed issue. While I was away, I was posting on LinkedIn consistently for one reason. I wanted to get better at copywriting. In a one-on-one meeting with my manager a couple of weeks ago, I told him I wanted to be a better copywriter. You can guess what his advice was: “Write and post on LinkedIn every day until you notice a difference”. And that’s exactly what I did. So today’s issue is...

As you switch target audiences in different roles, it gives you more experience crafting content marketing...

Hi Reader, Some newsletter issues ago, I shared some tips on how to conduct a conversion rate optimization (CRO) audit if your conversions from content marketing are low. One of the hypotheses of that audit could be that your CTAs aren’t effective. In this instance, you’d need to conduct A/B tests with different CTAs to determine the most effective. In my experience, value-based CTAs work best for conversions. But what do I mean by this? You’ll find out in a bit. Welcome to another issue of...

Hi Reader, Dearest gentle reader, I just watched Bridgerton Season 3 Part I and here’s what it taught me about content marketing. Just kidding! I did watch Bridgerton Season 3 Part I yesterday, but I can’t say I was thinking at all about how content marketing relates to Polin’s romance. Rather, I’ve been more concerned about some industry news and how marketers like you and I can adapt to it. Let’s get right into it. In today’s edition: Google is at it again Content marketing is more than...

Hi Reader, Amidst all the marketers vs founders arguments on Twitter (yes, I’m never going to call it X), one of them was particularly interesting to me. I witnessed a full-blown debate about what everyone thinks community marketing is, and how it can benefit tech companies. So even if I’m a few weeks late, I just have to weigh in with my thoughts on the matter. I’ve been in my groove lately with these power-packed editions and I hope you’re loving them as much as I am. Today’s edition is...

Hi Reader, Earlier this week, someone on my timeline asked what I regret that I didn’t do in high school. For me, there is no better answer to this question than volunteering. In secondary school, and even in university, I was a lot more focused on activities that could advance my career. Ironically, that is a career that I now have absolutely no interest in. I’m now learning the importance of giving back to my community. As I mentioned in my last newsletter edition, volunteering as a Guest...
