Never underestimate the power of a good story. If you want to make your content marketing work, you need storytelling in content marketing. Even if you’re a boring brand!
Let’s face it. Most of your content is boring. You likely have a bunch of salesy, boring pieces that you’ve worked so hard to write. But when you look at it, you struggle to see the point of it. It doesn’t drive traffic, leads, or sales. Worse, you see other brands doing better marketing with their boring content!
You read a blog post and say, “They do it so well. I am such a failure.”
You aren’t a failure. You’re just not doing content marketing right.
Storytelling captivates an audience better than facts & data. That’s why storytelling is the #1 method for getting consumers to pay attention and pay for your brand. But what if your products or services don’t lend themselves to storytelling? What if your story is boring?
In this podcast episode and post we’ll cover that and what else it takes to include storytelling in content marketing to engage your audience and drive growth fast.
