Building a solid platform for content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Without a solid platform, it will be difficult to make your content truly effective. That\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial to get the fundamentals right from the start.<\/p>\n<p>Content marketing can take many forms &#8211; in this article, we\u2019ll focus on written content marketing, which is one of the easiest ways for businesses to get started.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WordPress\"><\/span>WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>WordPress is one of the best solutions if you want to start blogging. WordPress is built for bloggers and comes with all the tools you need to make blogging easy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Example of a layout sketch I made for Trendsonline. Feel free to print it out, as I will reference it several times.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/staging1787817111.mickyweis.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Blog-post-704x1024-1.png\" alt=\"Blog post Trends Online example\" width=\"704\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you have a programmer on board, you can of course hardcode everything from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>However, I don\u2019t recommend this because you\u2019ll also need to train writers on the system. Most people find it relatively easy to navigate the WordPress platform\u2014even when it comes to outsourcing\u2014so you can save many hours (and money) by setting up the blog in WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>(This blog is also built on the WordPress platform)<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Responsive_design\"><\/span>Responsive design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Having a responsive design means that your website can be viewed and displayed on all devices (laptop, tablet, and mobile). This is where many businesses fall short!<\/p>\n<p>They forget that a large percentage of their visitors are browsing from mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The curve for growth on mobile devices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/staging1787817111.mickyweis.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GlobalMobileTraffic-DataGraph.jpg\" alt=\"Responsive Design Growth Mobile Devices\" width=\"600\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, you should always ensure your site is optimized for mobile.<\/p>\n<p>Optimizing your site for mobile devices covers everything from button spacing, sharing options, and font size to pop-up features. EVERYTHING looks different on mobile, and your users will likely leave your website quickly if it\u2019s not optimized for mobile. However, if you stay ahead of these things, you\u2019re future-proofed\u2014so ALWAYS make sure this part is in order.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Speed\"><\/span>Speed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The speed of your website is, in my opinion, an underrated factor. It\u2019s crucial that your users can quickly browse through your site, as this will keep them on your site longer.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that many of your users don\u2019t have high-speed internet\u2014and many, as mentioned, browse your site from mobile devices, where they may only have 3G access.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, you should optimize for the slowest connection\u2014not the fastest.<\/p>\n<p>Google has also stated that they consider speed in their algorithms, so there\u2019s no excuse not to optimize your site\u2019s speed\u2014it\u2019s a WIN-WIN for both you and your users.<\/p>\n<div class=\"greenbox\">\n<p><strong>Tips for optimizing speed<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Optimize your images to take up as little space as possible before uploading them to your site. You can use various programs for this. If you use WordPress, you can, for example, use this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightsourcemarketing.com\/content-marketing\/what-beer-taught-me-about-content-marketing-be-the-most-interesting-man-in-the-world\/\">plugin<\/a> to optimize your images when they\u2019re uploaded.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful with installing too many advanced plugins\u2014such as email pop-ups, Facebook buttons, and fancy galleries\u2014too many plugins and features can often negatively affect your site\u2019s speed.<\/li>\n<li>Optimize your code. There are many good guides for this\u2014I recommend my good friend Rune\u2019s article from Trendsonline on how he beat Amazon and Microsoft\u2019s speed.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful with too much graphics on your website. Often, a simpler design works better for your users and for speed. 5-17 years ago, it was common to have a site with a lot of graphics and an overuse of effects (we all remember the classic snowflakes falling down the screen, right?)\u2014today, it\u2019s more common to design the website based on what users demand. In other words: Keep your site clean!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p>30% of your visitors will leave your website if it loads slower than 3 seconds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Social_effects\"><\/span>Social effects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>People naturally gravitate toward content that others are already reading and commenting on. In fact, several large media outlets are built on this very principle. Did you know that <a href=\"http:\/\/platformed.info\/seeding-youtube-megaupload-paypal-reddit\/\">Reddit created a large number of users and began creating content themselves?<\/a> That\u2019s how they got others on the platform.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comments\"><\/span>Comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>When people comment on a post, for example, it creates energy around your content. Whether it\u2019s YouTube comments, blog comments, or Facebook comments, regardless of the medium, it creates engagement!<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, it\u2019s also important that you show your comments. If we take my design example from earlier, I\u2019ve made room for a number of comments that you see when you read the post.<\/p>\n<p>If you conclude your article or post with the possibility of discussion, which I always recommend you do, you can easily get a lot of comments, and this generates engagement!<\/p>\n<div class=\"greenbox\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> To kickstart your comments, you can ask your family and friends to leave a comment on your first posts. This will help build credibility by showing that there are already a few comments and then the comments will start coming on their own.<\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Social_sharing_functions\"><\/span>Social sharing functions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We can\u2019t ignore the so-called &#8216;social sharing functions&#8217;. The sharing function on social media is a crucial element when it comes to virality. In other words, you need to make it easy for your users to share your posts.<\/p>\n<p>There are various options if you use WordPress. Explore what works best for the content you produce, and use it going forward.<\/p>\n<div class=\"greybox\">\n<ul>\n<li>Visual content? Try Pinterest<\/li>\n<li>Very tech-oriented? Try Twitter<\/li>\n<li>B2B related? Try LinkedIn<\/li>\n<li>Mainstream? Try Facebook<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>I\u2019m not saying you should exclude media from your strategy, but in my opinion, you should focus on a few key platforms that are relevant to your business rather than focusing on all social media &#8211; there are many out there now!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/staging1787817111.mickyweis.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Skaermbillede-2015-09-01-kl.-22.06.52-1030x105-1.png\" alt=\"Screenshot 2015-09-01 at 22.06.52\" width=\"980\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rating\"><\/span>Rating<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Rating\u2014Amazon and Tripadvisor master this discipline to perfection!

Headlines are the focus for everyone at the moment! Especially the major media outlets that want us to click on more articles than before. Unfortunately, this has also created a culture of click-baiting, which\u2014in a figurative sense\u2014means that we write headlines with the intent of getting clicks, without always focusing on quality.<\/p>\n<div class=\"greenbox\">\n<p><strong>Good examples<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5 reasons to drink wine every day (without overdoing it)<\/li>\n<li>5 reasons you\u2019re not losing weight and what you can do about it<\/li>\n<li>That\u2019s why juice cleanses don\u2019t work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Just remember to stay ethical&#8230; and you can certainly use the strategy wisely.

Instead of trying to force through a text that you know in advance won\u2019t be optimal, focus your time on what you\u2019re good at and have others handle the rest.<\/p>\n<p>There are many writers who want to write articles, however, it\u2019s really hard to find outlets that prioritize quality! Often, you\u2019ll end up with an office full of writers who are willing to write an article for $10, but the quality will reflect that &#8211; remember this!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Textbroker\"><\/span>Textbroker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When I outsource my texts, I use Textbroker. It\u2019s naturally mostly in English, but you can always find someone to translate from English to Danish.

For startups, this can naturally be a significant expense, but you can start with one article per month and work your way up.<\/p>\n<p>If you use the tools above, you can set up very specific guidelines for your articles\u2014and even provide concrete topics and headlines.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, all the articles you write must be unique. No copy-cats here. So make sure the articles you have written adhere to these rules. Textbroker has a system that checks if the texts are duplicated content. If you choose cheaper options, you often end up with duplicated content.<\/p>\n<div class=\"greenbox\">\n<p><strong>Small tips for setup<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep your paragraphs short and your sentences shorter.

When you read my articles, you\u2019ll see that I often link to good sources, cases, etc. This is entirely intentional. It builds credibility with the reader, and I give them the opportunity to dive deeper into the topic.<\/li>\n<li>Start your content with an interesting introduction to keep the reader engaged, and end your content with the opportunity for interaction with your readers.

It\u2019s free when you don\u2019t need their pro features, and you can even connect it to your Mailchimp account so that new sign-ups go directly over and are ready to receive your newsletters.<\/p>\n<p><em>As you can see below, the conversion is good on Sarah\u2019s website. It\u2019s about testing text and call-to-actions to see what works.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/staging1787817111.mickyweis.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Skaermbillede-2015-09-03-kl.-11.40.21-1024x340-1.png\" alt=\"Email Sign-ups for Marketing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"340\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another very important detail is that SumoMe works incredibly well on mobile phones. Unfortunately, I still see many websites that have these email popups\u2014they really don\u2019t work well. I\u2019ve previously done split tests where I test with and without, and it\u2019s clear that traffic drops significantly on mobile because visitors bounce back to Google again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"greenbox\">\n<p><strong>Tips for email sign-ups<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are tons of plugins. I highly recommend SumoMe and Bloom for WordPress. Both are very simple to work with, and although Bloom is a paid module, it doesn\u2019t cost a fortune.<\/li>\n<li>Play on emotions and interests. No one wants to receive product-related news. For example, Sarah\u2019s readers want to receive free workout tips and recipes, but they probably wouldn\u2019t sign up if it said, &#8220;Buy my magazine&#8221;\u2014test, test, and test.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure they can be clicked away again\u2014it\u2019s okay if people don\u2019t want to sign up\u2014don\u2019t force it on users. Make it possible to remove your sign-up boxes again. Always keep the users in mind; if it\u2019s annoying for you, it\u2019s probably incredibly annoying for your users too.<\/li>\n<li>If you have many visitors, you might consider creating a free PDF book with your 10 best tips in your industry. People then have to sign up to receive your PDF book by entering their emails. A win\/win for both parties, and it\u2019s also very common in the US. Just remember to mention that you send out newsletters, so people don\u2019t feel exploited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Promote_your_content\"><\/span>5. Promote your content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The last part we need to cover in this post is promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go over the different options.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facebook_advertising\"><\/span>Facebook advertising<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you have a relatively small budget, you can start on Facebook with advertising. I mention Facebook because their enormous amounts of data has created an ad system that can segment far better than most others\u2014it also means you can target a very specific audience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"greybox\">\n<p><strong>Step-by-step guide<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Start by creating a Facebook page\u2014you\u2019ll need it when creating ads.<\/li>\n<li>Then create your first campaign via Power Editor. When you create a campaign, you need to choose the goal of the campaign\u2014also called the objective. In this case, I want more clicks (visitors) to my website.<\/li>\n<li>After creating the campaign, you need to create the audience\u2014this is done by creating what\u2019s called an ad set. Here, you can define your target audience and choose which devices your adsshould be displayed on. For example, if your site isn\u2019t optimized for mobile devices, it would be a bad idea to drive traffic that way.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, you need to create the creative part, namely the ads. This is where you need to be creative. I usually recommend having 10-15 ads for each audience (ad set). That way, you can test different ads.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guest_blogging\"><\/span>Guest blogging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To establish yourself as a brand\u2014or create hype around a new product\u2014guest blogging can have huge value. If you, for example, want to launch a new tech product like a new antivirus program, you can reach out to smaller tech blogs.<\/p>\n<p>You can write about a solution for users like &#8220;5 tips to make your computer faster&#8221;\u2014you can then include your new product without it seeming too pushy.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve previously written a bit about guest blogging, which you can find in the post here. Highly recommended if you want to use the strategy as a regular part of your promotion strategy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Spend 70% of your time promoting and branding your content\u2014and 30% writing it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"greenbox\">\n<p><strong>Small tips for promotion<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Everything is difficult at the start\u2014use all the little tricks and get friends and family to hype your content. In other words, use your network to get the ball rolling. No one experiences millions of visitors from day one.<\/li>\n<li>Start with a few posts so you can maintain high quality and produce posts in a steady stream. It\u2019s not realistic to write 5 of these posts a week, but it\u2019s possible to write 1 a week and then combine it with shorter articles.<\/li>\n<li>If you write about other products in your blog posts, you can contact these companies and ask if they will share it through their channels\u2014it means a lot to you, but it might only take them 2 minutes. Remember, every little bit helps! (For example, I can now write to Trendsonline, Rune Jensen, Slikhaar, and many more because of this post).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s it! Now you know everything there is to know about content marketing (almost)!<\/p>\n<p>I hope the fire is lit within you, and you\u2019re ready to create the coolest content on the web.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all for now! I sincerely hope this post gave you an idea of what content marketing is\u2014at least for the blogging part\u2014content marketing could just as well be video and much more.<\/p>\n<p>What are your best experiences with content marketing, and is there anything I\u2019ve forgotten?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_Content_marketing\"><\/span>FAQ: Content marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_start_a_blog_from_scratch\"><\/span><strong>How do I start a blog from scratch?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Start by defining the blog\u2019s topic and target audience. Also consider your purpose: do you want to drive traffic, build authority, or generate leads?<\/p>\n<p>Next, choose a CMS: WordPress, Webflow, or another platform that makes it easy to write and organize posts. Keep the design simple initially; the priority is a fast, clear, and navigable site. Create a basic content calendar with upcoming post ideas so you can publish consistently. Over time, this will help improve traffic, visibility, and credibility.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_best_CMS_to_use_for_starting_a_blog\"><\/span><strong>What\u2019s the best CMS to use for starting a blog?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It depends on your needs and technical skills. WordPress is flexible, has many plugins, and makes SEO and content management easy. Webflow offers more control over design with a visual editor, while Ghost is simple and fast, especially for articles and newsletters.<\/p>\n<p>Choose a CMS that can grow with you and makes it easy to optimize content for SEO, social media, and analytics.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_agencies_can_help_me_set_up_and_manage_a_professional_blog\"><\/span><strong>What agencies can help me set up and manage a professional blog?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>If you want help with both the technical setup and content creation, a full-service agency can be a good option. These agencies typically handle strategy, design, SEO, and copywriting, assisting with everything from blog setup to content planning and production.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage of a full-service approach is that design, technical setup, and content work together from the start, making it easier to build a professional blog that is easy to navigate and drives traffic and value for your business.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_create_an_effective_content_calendar\"><\/span><strong>How do I create an effective content calendar?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A good content calendar starts by defining your goals and target audience. Plan topics based on seasons, campaigns, search volume, and how often you can realistically publish. Set deadlines, assign responsibilities, and decide on publishing channels. AI can also help generate ideas or initial drafts.<\/p>\n<p>Consider using content clusters: break a larger topic into smaller angles and reuse content across social media or newsletters. This way, you get more value from each piece and maintain a consistent publishing rhythm.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_use_AI_to_brainstorm_blog_post_ideas\"><\/span><strong>How can I use AI to brainstorm blog post ideas?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>AI is great for quickly spotting trends, analyzing what competitors are writing about, identifying relevant keywords, and finding content gaps. It can generate a list of ideas that are both timely and valuable for your audience.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use AI to suggest headlines, subtopics, and different formats like text, video, or infographics. Start with a few prompts, test the results, and adjust them to match your tone of voice and writing style &#8211; this saves time and ensures your content stays varied and relevant.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_AI_tools_are_best_for_creating_marketing_content\"><\/span><strong>Which AI tools are best for creating marketing content?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>There\u2019s no single AI tool that\u2019s best for everything\u2014it depends on what you want to create. Many marketers use a combination: one tool for writing, another for research, and another for graphics or video.<\/p>\n<p>For example, AI assistants like ChatGPT or Perplexity are often used for idea generation, research, and first drafts for blog posts or ads because they can quickly generate text and help with structure and angles.<\/p>\n<p>If you create a lot of marketing copy, tools like Jasper or Copy.ai are popular because they offer templates for blog posts, ads, emails, and landing pages. They can generate copy quickly based on a few inputs like tone, audience, and topic.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_make_sure_my_content_is_both_SEO-friendly_and_easy_to_read\"><\/span><strong>How do I make sure my content is both SEO-friendly and easy to read?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Start by finding the keywords and questions your audience is actually searching for. Use them naturally in titles, subheadings, and body text, but avoid forcing them in. Structure is key: use short paragraphs, clear headings, and bullet points where appropriate. This makes it easier for readers to skim and find answers, and helps search engines and AI models understand your content.<\/p>\n<p>You can also improve SEO by adding internal links to related posts, writing clear meta descriptions, and using descriptive headings. In short, write primarily for your readers, and then make sure search engines can find and understand your content.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_AI_help_improve_my_existing_blog_content\"><\/span><strong>How can AI help improve my existing blog content?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>AI can be a powerful tool for reviewing older posts and identifying areas for improvement. It can analyze text for keywords, readability, and structure, offering suggestions to make content clearer and more relevant. Small adjustments like better headlines, clearer sections, or updated examples can make a big difference.<\/p>\n<p>AI can also help you discover new angles or questions you haven\u2019t addressed before. This way, you can expand existing posts rather than starting from scratch, getting more value out of content you\u2019ve already produced.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_metrics_should_I_track_to_measure_the_impact_of_my_content_marketing\"><\/span><strong>What metrics should I track to measure the impact of my content marketing?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Start with the basics: traffic and time on page. This shows whether people are actually reading your content or leaving quickly. Engagement is also important: social shares, comments, and clicks on internal links indicate interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, look at conversion-related metrics like leads, newsletter signups, or other goals. This helps you understand whether your content not only attracts traffic but also contributes to your business objectives.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_common_mistakes_should_I_avoid_when_launching_a_new_blog\"><\/span><strong>What common mistakes should I avoid when launching a new blog?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A common mistake is starting without a clear plan. Without a defined audience, topics, and purpose, content can feel random and hard for readers to follow. Don\u2019t overlook SEO and keyword research, or you may create content no one is searching for. Poor structure (long blocks of text and unclear headings) also makes it harder for readers and search engines.<\/p>\n<p>Consistency is crucial. Start by producing content at a realistic pace, use a simple content calendar, and track traffic and engagement. This allows you to adjust and improve your blog over time without wasting resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back!
