As a marketer, you want to create better, more relevant content \u2013 so you can attract traffic to your business, nurture your prospects, and help drive sales.\u00a0<\/span>Sounds good when you put it like that, right?<\/span><\/p>

But the path to great content isn\u2019t always smooth.<\/p>

As the Content Marketing Institute says in its B2B Content Marketing survey, the main reason why content marketing goes wrong is challenges in content creation<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

Fortunately, you’re in the right place. As a B2B copywriter, I’m here to help solve your content challenges.<\/p>

But first, let’s look deeper \u2013 and see what the cause of the problem might be.<\/p>

Marketers can’t find writers with the right expertise<\/strong><\/h2>

Drilling down through the survey, it seems the main challenge is finding agencies and freelancers who can provide relevant, on-topic copy.<\/p>

Let\u2019s hear from the Content Marketing Institute again:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

That’s quite sobering. The main reason behind the main reason why content isn\u2019t working, marketers say, is that content experts’ knowledge of their topic isn’t even adequate.\u00a0<\/p>

Solution: find a copywriter who works to understand your clients<\/strong><\/h2>

So, here\u2019s my take. If you want your content marketing to succeed, you need to find a copywriter who will work with you to understand your business and messaging.<\/p>

Someone who will research your sector, and ask you who your clients are, what their challenges are, why they buy, and how your brand and products meet their needs. Someone who can understand what it takes for content in your sector to stand out.<\/p>

Only then can a writer provide copy that\u2019s relevant, engaging, and on topic.<\/p>

This applies whether you need your copywriter to provide product pages<\/a> that sell your benefits clearly, or blog content<\/a> to attract traffic via organic search.<\/p>

How I work with you on copywriting<\/strong><\/h2>

So, when you\u2019re looking for a copywriter, yes, try to find someone with topic knowledge if you can. Personally, I focus on B2B, tech, sustainability and a variety of specialist niches<\/a>.<\/p>

But what you want isn\u2019t only topic knowledge \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s something more than that.<\/p>

Often, the difference between relevance and irrelevance lies in the ability and willingness of a copywriter to understand you \u2013 and to research the details that add value to your copy.<\/p>

So you need someone who will ask the right questions. In that way, your content can reflect the knowledge you have in-house \u2013 as a powerful combination of the writer’s research skills and your depth of expertise.<\/p>

That’s how you can achieve content success.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
