Content marketing means creating valuable, helpful content (like blog posts, guides, videos, or tools) that attracts your target audience and builds trust with them. Instead of directly selling, you're providing value first. When people find your helpful content, they remember your brand and are more likely to become customers later.
People don't trust ads anymore. They trust helpful information from sources that demonstrate expertise. When you consistently create valuable content, you:
- Build authority in your niche
- Attract organic search traffic
- Generate qualified leads
- Educate potential customers
- Create shareable assets
