THE END OF INTERRUPTION MARKETING<br />

<strong>Inbound</strong> <strong>Marketing</strong> <strong>101</strong><br />

You can probably come up with a list <strong>of</strong> 100 questions for a new mom, or whoever your<br />

persona is. But how do you find out what questions they’re asking? Interview somebody who<br />

is representative <strong>of</strong> your ideal customer.<br />

Find out the answer to some <strong>of</strong> these questions:<br />

• What are their fears?<br />

• What are their secret hopes and dreams?<br />

• What frustrates them?<br />

• What keeps them up at night?<br />

<strong>The</strong>se words are really important. Write them down to use in your blog posts.<br />

Take those words and feed them into a keyword tool, such as Google AdWords Planner tool,<br />

(and there are other tools you can use as well). Keyword tools will let you know the terms that<br />

people are actually searching on Google.<br />

2. Answer Your Customers’ Questions<br />

<strong>The</strong> keywords you just researched are the words your customers use to ask the fundamental<br />

questions that are driving their activity on the internet right now.<br />

Your challenge is to answer the questions they’re asking.<br />

Many bloggers make the mistake <strong>of</strong> writing articles that talk all about themselves, their<br />

products, their company, or their opinions about the world. That’s a mistake that can kill your<br />

chances <strong>of</strong> succeeding.<br />

<strong>The</strong> most successful blogs focus on their customers, and in helping their customers solve the<br />

problems and challenges that are weighing them down every day.<br />

Answer their questions without selling them your product or service as a solution. Your<br />

customers are not in the mood for a pitch at the moment. <strong>The</strong>y’re in the mood for scratching<br />

an itch. Give them the scratch to calm that itch.<br />
