THE END OF INTERRUPTION MARKETING<br />

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

6. Maintain a Schedule<br />

Part <strong>of</strong> becoming your customers’ fri<strong>end</strong> and confidant is being reliable. You’ve answered<br />

their questions, now you’re getting them involved in a conversation. Your next step is to keep<br />

the conversation going by becoming a habit for them. Maintaining a schedule is the way to<br />

do that.<br />

You can blog every day, or every other day, or you can blog twice a week, or even once a<br />

week.<strong>The</strong> frequency doesn’t matter – the regularity does. This is important as you start to<br />

build trust with your customers. Regularity builds trust, but the flip side is probably more<br />

important: irregularity destroys trust.<br />

When you’re unreliable you damage the trust you’ve built.<br />

7. Share Your Content Where Your Customers Are<br />

Sharing your content on social media is a box you have to check <strong>of</strong>f. You need to do it. It’s<br />

a minimum requirement these days.<strong>The</strong> best way to share your content and gain exposure<br />

to more potential customers than you could possibly do on your own is to contribute guest<br />

articles.<br />

Take out and dust <strong>of</strong>f the valuable persona research you did, and identify where your ideal<br />

customers hang out on the web. <strong>The</strong>y usually have their favorite blogs, online publications,<br />

magazines, podcasts or video channels.<br />

If you’re absolutely confident you have high-quality content to share with these sites,<br />

approach them and <strong>of</strong>fer to share valuable content their audience might like (no selling, and<br />

don’t dial it in). •<br />
