Never before in the Internet's short history, has consumers made so many Internet searches, Over 3.5 billions of searches each day. Content Marketing 2024 for small local Businesses, is about making your content searchable and visible for your laser target audience.
Long before the term was invented, people have "consumed" content, they use it to prepare a purchase, they like it, the words and images is essential for today's digital behavior and persuasion. A valuable and relevant content, play the decisive role in almost all promotional methods. A good marketing strategy is really a mixture of different tactics and strategies.
Your customers don’t care about your marketing definition. Becaus the pure theoretical definition of content marketing and even its value, will not make any big change, to your customers lives. Keep your focus on the customers, and your overall marketing. As a local small Business owner and marketer, you want to know what works and what your customers need.
Simply to market your small business on the Internet, so that potential customers can easily find you when they make their relevant Internet search. But first, you need to have a real business website, and today you have to be able to offer e Commerce, if it possible. Those small Businesses that have e Commerce as a purchase choise, will increasing their sale with over 20%..
This becomes your digital version of your "brick and mortar" business on the Internet. And you can start to filling your mobile friendly sites with valuable and relevant content, about the purpose of your small Business.
Think about it .. Your visitors share your business site on social media and talking to friends and family about your "brick and mortar" business and think it is well-stocked, knowledgeable and experienced staff, they found where they've been looking for and are very satisfied.
People ask where is the shop? The answer is, that we found it when we searched the internet, and they have an impressive Business site, where potential customers can also choose e Commerce. But we chose to visit their real shop... Well this is not a unique senario today.
As i have said, content marketing is much more than simply throwing something up on your site. Because consumers have access to Internet anywhere and anytime today, comparison for only a few years ago.
Today, people use the internet and searching for almost everything, "social media" is an important messenger, contact intermediaries, etc, in all countries..
But as i have said many times, your Social sites i only One part of your "4 pillars" internet presence. Social media can never replace your own Business website, because you can not own your "social media account" in the same way as your own Business site.
Your social media sites are not a place for heavy sales pitches. Therefore, you should quickly invite and help your visitors to clicks into your own business site, as you owns and can have full control over.
I have chosen this example, of Excellent Content Marketing 2024 for small Business. Which I myself quite often visits, when I'll fix something with My own Mercedes car.
Why I choose this small Business as a content marketing example. Well, simply because this is an very good example. Mr. Bergsma started from scratch, discovered a big need, transforming his very big interest and knowledge for technology, mechanics and Mercedes cars, into an profitable small family e-Business.
Which now more than 15 years later, even have a big international audience. Mr. Bergsmans content marketing have grow up and envolve, from early 2000s with the importance of creating a real Business site, the birth of Social media, beginning to use Youtube with a very simple camera, producing more over 1000 instructional Videos, about "let us repair it Yourself".
There is no questioning, about what the purpose is with Mr. Bergsmas small Business. He have included all the important ingredients into his content marketing: Personality, unique and "homemade", valuable and relevant.
But build and run a small Business, is not about rocket science. I believe, that 100s of millions persons on earth, that have the right entrepreneurial mindset, can Find your niche, that interests you very much. And that also will become your big passion.
Here you can see how a former aircraft mechanic found a niche that had a big in demand using his keen interest, hobby and knowledge of Mercedes cars, he built a small car repair business, at his former dairy farm . Where he rehabilitate, fixes Mercedes cars to people around Seattle on USA west coast, but he have developed his small local family business https://mercedessource.com even farther, thanks to the rapid internet revolution.
He has of course a real Business Website, which he refers to in his YouTube videos. Where he sells e-Books and various automotive products that people can buy with the help of e Commerce. Here you can see an example from his YouTube channel This is a extraordinary good example on, content marketing in 2024. A small Business that has a proper "4 pillars" internet presence, with e Commerce.
Additionally, as you can see, he also have several Social media accounts. There are also lots of Reviews, that helping spread the message around the world to the Target Audience...
This is not a big company with very big finance muscles to make huge content marketing campaigns, but this is just a small family Business. They do not have a super advanced and expensive equipment, to produce all this YouTube Videos. I says that because, today, there are very good Video equipment that won't cost a lot, and that is easy to manage without first having to become a professional film Producer...
- You don't need fancy and expensive equipments...Start with your Smartphone, make a short 1 minutes video, for example about a special offer this week.. Upload the video to your Facebook Business site, "boost it" with $ 1 dollar / per day.. That's it, simple...
Obviously his genuine knowledge and experience of Mercedes cars also played a very crucial role. But without his big interest and enthusiasm, this business wold not at all achieved the same results. The conclusion is to succeed in building a successfull small business is. Finding a niche that interests you, that can become your "big passion," and has an Demand....
