Two of the biggest problems I see with content marketing are really two sides of the same coin.

Problem #1: Not getting enough leverage out of an asset (case study, blog post, one pager....etc)
Problem #2: Expecting an asset to do too many jobs.

I'm honestly not sure what is worse because the first leads to a graveyard of content assets that are used once and abandoned. And the second puts too much weight on a piece of content without considering its purpose or place in the funnel.

So what's the solution? At the risk of hedging, it really depends on the goal.

However, to start with, go back to the strategy.
What is the audience, the message, and the goal?

Where will they see the content, and what job should it be doing? From there, you can build a plan to use it effectively, repeatedly, and make it do that job...on repeat.

Most cold outreach fails because it's built for volume instead of relevance.

Templates feel, well, like templates.
Generic compliments land flat.
And leading with a high-friction ask before there's any reason to trust you is the fastest way to get ignored.

I love a good template. But the way to make it work isn't by casting the widest possible net. Quite the opposite. By getting super specific on your audience and target profile, you can add greater specificity and relevance to your outreach.

If you can personalize it for each person, obviously, that's best. And with AI, it's easier than ever.

If not, you've got to be okay with some things falling flat... but by focusing in on real problems your target audience is likely to have, you can often turn a cold note into an actual conversation worth having.

Keep in mind, too, if you can warm them up by email, your cold phone call follow-ups will land a little more effectively.

They say one bad experience is enough to make customers go elsewhere. I can tell you 100% that's true. I -- and most other consumers -- have less and less patience for brands not following through on their promises as tech makes it easier and easier to do so.

But what about trust in marketing?

That's something that can slip behind the scenes before your audience is likely to even voice it.

I remember, when I first started my own business, watching other owners who flipped their positioning and marketing every few months -- one month they were travel agents, another -business coaches, yet another - something extremely different. While people can have multiple businesses, there are distinct audiences and channels for each.

It made me question whether they were committed to one thing. If you're flip-flopping positioning, think about how that might affect they way your audience sees you.

Audiences typically expect some messaging refinement to happen as companies mature. They even expect brands to test new things. What they need though, is a through line of consistency over time, even if the words change.

Without that steadiness, your audience may lose trust in marketing and explore competitors.

I've talked about this a bit, but one of the biggest trends I'm seeing is that fewer buyers are visiting sites to explore. They show up to double-check what AI already told them about you, or dig a little deeper.

That's because they've probably already asked AI about tools that solve XYZ problems and can be used within specific constraints.

If your pricing is hidden, AI may try to fill in blanks with Reddit post roundups -- that might be wildly inaccurate.

If your content doesn't clearly lay out what you do, or how you solve specific use cases, AI might not pick up on that. While it can extrapolate and you can't possibly name every single scenario, having a few baseline pages that highlight how you can help (or have helped) specific ways can give you a leg up over the competition that doesn't share this info.

On the flip side, if you're not doing it, one of your competitors probably is, and AI may nudge your prospects to a competitor before they even know you exist.

Need a starting point? Put real constraints, exact use cases, and plain-English answers on your site today so you actually control the summary your prospects read tomorrow.

The best marketing advice I ever heard is right message, right audience, right time. But what happens when you're writing home page copy for a website with multiple audiences, each with their own problem, solution, and path to purchase?

The solution isn't cutting out two of those groups.

Nor is it watering down the message until it's so generic across them that it speaks to no one.

It is finding the core thread they all share for your hero section and building a clear roadmap from there.

Three audiences? Use three boxes below the hero to help them find their way.

When you give each visitor an easy path to the information that matters most to them, the right leads can easily get what they need and make the decision to take the next step.

I've seen email lists that hadn't been touched in six months get reactivated with one or two useful emails. Dormant reactivation campaigns often perform well (even if YOU are the dormant one).

But what do they look like?

They dive right in with value. In both B2B and B2C - people care about what matters to them. So lead with that as your hook

There's no need to apologize for being gone. People's attention spans are short, and if you devote valuable real estate to useless platitudes right away, you may lose them. Of course this depends on your audience and your brand -- B2B is considerably more direct.

If an explanation of why outbound marketing has been slow for the last few weeks/months/years is pertinent, share that a bit further down. Otherwise keep acknowledgment of this to a minimum.

Your list is worth its weight in gold, even if you haven't been as regular on marketing comms as you'd like.

Referral leads convert well because the trust is already there before the first conversation happens. What's really interesting is that AI search is starting to work the same way.

When someone uses ChatGPT or Google's AI mode to find a solution, the vetting happens in the search, not after it. By the time they reach out, they're already halfway convinced, and your number one job as a business or sales rep is to validate the use case and continue building the value for the cost.

So how do you get AI to "refer" you? The businesses showing up in those answers have enough quality content out there to make a credible case and are sufficiently transparent in their features so that AI can parse through it and say, "XYZ tool/service/etc is a really good bet."

You don't need to think through every use case, but if you can do a good enough job of explaining the business (or offer or product), then AI can take it from there and help your prospects reason through what's actually possible for solving their problem.

That's worth factoring into how you think about your content strategy. If it seems like developing this strategy is playing 4D chess, and you barely know what the pieces are called, go back to the basics.

What does your product do? What are the integrations? And what are the limitations?

Start thinking through that and create content, FAQs, and feature pages that speak to that.

There's no shortcut to being the option people think of first.

It comes from showing up long enough, clearly enough, and consistently enough that your name (or, depending on your market--your company) becomes associated with the thing you do.

That takes longer than a campaign and won't show up in your metrics for a while. It's the long game, after all.

But it's the kind of reputation that fills your pipeline quietly, keeps referrals coming in, and makes sales conversations feel easy. Worth building, even when it's slow.

Chasing leads is exhausting. But attracting them is a strategy that pays off well when done right. And... candidly, the "how" is changing dramatically with AI.

But one thing holds true.

The difference between chasing and attracting usually comes down to whether your audience can clearly see themselves in your message.

That means getting the right message to the right person at the right time.

When your content speaks to the specific moment someone is in, the friction they're feeling, the decision they're weighing, you stop having to convince people.

They self-select. And in my book, that's the very definition of successful messaging and marketing.

A message that tries to do too much ends up doing nothing well.

Sure -- you want it to do as much as it can... as long as it is effective.

But when you try to make it communicate everything you offer, speak to every possible objection, cover every type of client, all in one place, you get a hodgepodge message that makes people work too hard to understand it.

Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, but even those must have a clear purpose or throughline.

Gobbledygook serves no one. And your audience isn't going to take the time to figure out what you're saying if they're confused.

It's your job to streamline - one message, one audience, one goal. That's what makes it easy for the right person to say yes quickly, and the wrong person to move on.
