Content Sells: Attract, Convert & Keep Your Ideal Clients with Content Marketing That Works 217 – Grow Your Audience & Boost Your Authority By Publishing a Report
There’s a strategy we have long loved and wanted to cover on the show… and that strategy is all about how you can boost your authority, grow your audience and own the space by publishing a report.
Now, what do we mean by a report…
Well, the dictionary defines a report as: An account given of a particular matter, especially in the form of an official document, after thorough investigation or consideration by an appointed person or body.
And that’s a pretty good definition for what we’re talking about.
In this instance YOU are the appointed body! Yes, you are appointing yourself as the creator of a report!
And that immediately goes to helping your credibility.
Plus reports can be incredibly newsworthy. Meaning you could pick up some PR - whether that’s in mainstream media or in your own market niche related media AND they can work really well as a lead magnet to grow your list and attract new prospects to your business.
In this episode, your hosts, Suzi Dafnis and Michelle Falzon, share their top tips for creating and publishing a report (and how to use that report to get noticed, grow your list and build your profile as an authority in your space).
