Content Marketing Tangled Up In Blue ScentTrail Marketing

Content Marketing Tangled Up In Blue ScentTrail Marketing | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

How can content create Dylan's sense of space? How can stories confuse, thrill and teach? What your content's tone? Confident? Fun? Mysterious? Kind? Are words music? Do they sing off the page?

Wait before you roll eyes and click away. Why create content? Writing is an intimate act, a share between siblings, a whisper in an early quiet dawn. Great content is calm. We read or listen because we must.

Tangled Up In Blue.

Most Internet marketers agree. Your website must be heroic, a quest of and for greatness. But how can your marketing make customers heroes? Here's How:

Ways To Make Your Customers Heroes Online

* Gamification (nothing like social kudos to reinforce a heroic journey).

* Contests (who has the best Tough Mudder Pinterest board etc...).

* Leaderboards (part of gamification, but a constant reminder that a game is going on NOW).

7 Copywriting Best Practices for Effective Landing Page Copy

7 Copywriting Best Practices for Effective Landing Page Copy | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Excerpted from the original article: "If you're looking for the quickest way to create a great landing page, invest your time in creating copy that follows these 7 landing page copywriting best practices.

 

1) Use Action-Oriented Language

If within 3 seconds, a site visitor can't glean what exactly they can do on that page, they click the back button.

 

2) Use Value-Oriented Language

The value is the "so what?" of your landing page copy. Use language to convince visitors that the time they'll spend filling out your form is worth it for the offer they'll receive

 

3) Use Reader Keywords

What is a reader keyword? It's a phrase I just made up to describe the keywords a reader -- not a search engine, a reader -- will look for while scanning your page to understand what the page is about.

 

4) Write Using the Second Person

Writing in the second person means instead of saying "I," you speak in your readers' terms by saying "You" and "Your."

 

5) Go for Clarity Over Creativity

You're on a timer. It's set for 3 seconds. There's no time for fluffy language.
