Why it is silly to charge people to get to the bulk of your content

I see marketers out here charging people to access the bulk of their content and it is like it is exclusive content that will intrigue people .

In the age we live in information is abundant and the worlds richest and successful people spill their beans for free .

So why would a small fish in the ocean charge people to get access to content when they could get free ?

You are pushing people away and can lose customers .

Even if you have the accolades selling content to people still wouldn’t work in the long run .

If some one wants you to write a blog post or do a service then go ahead and charge them accordingly .

People have gone to great lengths for a few extra dollars and it is tacky .

Fortunately you are getting the information ahead of time so that you don’t fall victim to the nonsense .

I don’t like bad business practices ,for 1 it is unprofessional and 2 it reeks of desperation .

Realize that business is not just about numbers it is about people too .

As business owners we want to make money but a business cannot survive without people .

Some People are stressed out operating on tight budgets so you really have to be smart .

You benefit when by getting paid but before you do get paid you have to make an upfront investment of time energy and effort or money .

People want solutions to their problems and if you can provide solutions you will get paid .

Content marketing is the gate way to sales .

I suggest that you start a blog or a You tube channel or a face book fan page to build an audience.

Once you build community and communicate you open the door for sales .

If you want people to pay to access your content on Instagram or tik tok you will lose money .

If they can’t get the information from you they will get it from some one else .

We basically talk about the same subjects but with a twist .

You might entice a few people but you will deter most of them .

Social media has blessed us with the opportunity to compete with larger brands .

This is why we have to be more creative and consistent .

The larger brands have loyal customer bases because they are trusted more .

Your brand is smaller so it is important to be unique .

Every time you publish content you get the opportunity to connect with people .

Content is the signal that signifies what you do .

Every website that publishes content gets traffic so take advantage of googles search engine .

Bigger brands like Apple have solidified their spot in the market plus they are innovative and have bigger marketing budgets .

For us to compete we need to be publishing content and networking on the regularly .

Even if it means hiring a team of writers and a personal assistant .

This is the time for you to tap into the market , connect with people that feel abandoned .

I put out content every day .

Eventually people will want to hire my firm to assist with their branding .

I try not to even look at money .

I have so much love for what I do and I take pride in it .

There are so many advantages of posting content on social media .

Even if you aren’t the best writer there are people that will listen and read .

Conclusion

To be successful you have to be disciplined. In the game of marketing you have to be strategic , consistently learning and listening .
