Remember when you were in school and had a big project that you had three weeks to complete? I remember those.
But you always put everything off until you only had about three or four days left to work on the project; or maybe you’d put it off until the night before it was due! (I know did that)
What’s The Take Away
The lesson we all (hopefully) learned from that situation is that if we would’ve spent a little time each day working on the project, it would’ve been a breeze to complete in time. Instead we’d keep putting things off, and putting things off. Then finally we’d have to dig in and make a hurried attempt to salvage the situation at the last minute. Most the time the results were not great.
Same goes for content marketing for your business.
If you’re a steady reader here, you’ll easily know that one of the things I write about most is, trying to give you reasons and motivation to dig in and start generating content for your business.
Why am I so determined to get you to start generating content/blogging for your business?
Yeah, why is it so important to me?
- It’s not like I’m in some kind of pyramid scheme that sells the concept of content marketing.
- I could just set you up with static, brochure websites. I’d still make the same money.
- My business is doing great, why do I care if you don’t want to work on yours.
I’m a strong advocate for content marketing because of two simple reasons, and it would be unethical of me not to make you aware of these…
Good content marketing works.

If you’re not using content marketing, you are falling behind.
Not only are you falling behind, but the longer you wait to get started, the more work you’ll have to do to catch up.
Don’t keep putting all your energy into thinking up ways to avoid content marketing/blogging/using social media. Keep from adding to the anxiety and stress you’ll have later.
So…
- Get excited about it – it’s powerfully effective
- Get Started – write a post today
- Have fun – enjoy it. That will give it the momentum you’re going to need.
