7 Reasons to start with Content Marketing
1. The market will reward you
By producing quality articles, blogs or videos you become known as a resource, not as a seller. By sharing knowledge you generate value for another. Your value is connected with your knowledge and your willingness to help others. The more valuable you become, the more the market will reward you.
How valuable are you to your target audience?
2. Regular attention
Once you have approval to share your information you'll be able to regularly come to the attention. An e-zine or newsletter you regulated sent is ideal for this. It has a positive effect on your fame; You put yourself and your business on the map.
How often are you under the attention of your potential customers?
3. Increase trust
Trust is the most important building block of (business) relationships.

6. Score higher in search engines
This is one of my favorite reasons. Google is a big fan of high-quality content that can be easily shared. Google releases daily changes to their search algorithm to make sure that valuable content is better. Google rewards you with a higher position in the search engine results when you are active with content marketing to work! How beautiful is that?
7. Promotes dialogue
Do you recognize this? Companies are on Twitter and Facebook but actually not much to tell. It often lacks a substantive story. How do you have the dialogue with your target group? You had probably already understood qualitatively produce high quality content. So you can tell your story, ask questions and in a transparent way, can show what is going on in your company.
How do you stimulate the dialogue?
How this translates to your business?
Content is the engine of the Internet. Remember: people are looking for information for a problem to solve and not looking to your sales pitch ... In fact, people do not sell them something, but they keep buying. Confidence, credibility and authority you build with content marketing is an authentic way to create buyers of your product or service
Companies and entrepreneurs who successfully apply content marketing mainly produce valuable information without a double (sales) agenda. It is the art and to combine this with a promotion of its own product or service. Finally, the chimney should smoking. What you see regularly is that under a small reference to a relevant product or service presents a blog article. Neat and not too intrusive.

- Do not be frightened of the 'expensive' content marketing. With a blog can go a long way
- Write and produce information that is close to your heart and business
- Do not forget offline write for a magazine that reads your target
