Been having some fascinating chats lately with top CEOs and marketing gurus. And guess what’s buzzing? Generosity in content creation. It’s not just about dishing out content for quick wins. Nah, it’s about playing the long game, thinking about those long-term relationships with your customers.
You see, in the fast-paced world of social media, it’s tempting to chase after immediate likes and shares. Post something, get instant feedback – it’s alluring, right? But, here’s the catch: focusing only on quick results might make you miss out on building something lasting.
That’s where being a generous content creator comes in. It’s not just about giving away heaps of content; it’s about crafting something valuable that resonates with your audience. This approach targets the right folks and can genuinely make a difference in their lives, even before they’ve bought anything from you. It’s about building trust and a strong brand identity for the long haul.
Seth Godin, a marketing genius, once said, ‘Marketing is generous when we use it to make things better by making better things.’ Spot on, right?
But, let’s get real. For many entrepreneurs, especially start-ups, this might sound like financial harakiri: giving away your best stuff for free. Why? Because there’s no surefire guarantee of a paying market right off the bat. Yet, this is exactly what can set you apart. Imagine a start-up that doesn’t hold back, sharing top-notch content without expecting immediate returns. This strategy can earn trust and advocacy, building a reputation for offering premium content at little cost. Before you know it, this trust turns into customer conversion.
Gary Vaynerchuk sums it up well: ‘Eat Shit for 48 Months. Eat Caviar for the rest of your life.’ It’s about playing the long game, folks.
The struggle for many brands is the temptation for quick digital wins. They churn out content aiming for instant popularity, going viral and all. But the harsh truth? This approach often leads to a dead end. Short-term content lacks uniqueness. It’s here today, forgotten tomorrow.
So, here’s a thought. Why not follow Seth Godin’s advice? Invest the time to create and share high-value content. Be so generous with it that it might even seem a bit mad. But in this madness lies the magic – loyalty, distinctiveness, and longevity in the market.
Let’s make generosity our growth strategy. After all, in the world of content creation, it’s the generous hearts that eventually win.
