Automate your content."},"content":{"rendered":"<div id=\"bsf_rt_marker\"><\/div><p>The main objective of marketing automation is to monetise the time you spend on your digital strategy. That is, to help you prioritise and carry out marketing actions in a more agile and efficient way. So that achieving your goals is not a headache, money and time.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>What does marketing automation represent?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Automation is mainly the <strong>programming of marketing actions linked to a campaign<\/strong> and is based on one or more <em>software<\/em>, of course. In other words, marketing automation aims to make the most of all the platforms on which marketing actions are carried out <strong>using tools that are synchronised<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>{{cta(&#8216;bb2971b9-bf36-4c36-8edc-75223dba5208&#8217;)}}<\/p>\n<p>From the definition to the segmentation of your customers, the generation of <em>workflows<\/em>, <em>lead nurturing<\/em>, <em>lead qualification<\/em>, sending personalised messages and comparing metrics and results. Actions that have the <strong>purpose of leading your potential customers in a controlled manner through the <em>sales funnel<\/em>, until they become end customers and loyal ambassadors of your brand.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">But remember that marketing automation also needs attention to work effectively. If you want to be competitive, in terms of online marketing you need to <strong>know what you are sending<\/strong> (message and format) <strong>and how your visitors and prospects react<\/strong> on all the online distribution channels you use. While it saves you time in the execution and programming phase, the analysis of your actions is still equally important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How does it apply to content?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Before you dive in head first, be clear that your business needs to start from the segmentation of your contact database. You can&#8217;t offer the same content to people whose needs are not the same. It makes sense, doesn&#8217;t it? So, a good online marketing campaign or Inbound marketing starts with the creation of content.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Blogposts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Creating content is not always easy. Sometimes we are not inspired. But once you have done a <strong>search for keywords<\/strong> or initial keywords that your potential customers would search for, you should have a clearer idea. Even so, there are <strong>tools like <\/strong><strong>Google Alerts<\/strong><strong> that can help you find content<\/strong> if you have to customise the time you invest.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Of course, to manage content you need a <strong>CMS for programming and distributing it<\/strong>, such as WordPress. But whatever your startup uses, keep in mind that you should publish posts on a regular basis. If you want a tip, you can <strong>repost the content of your publications in different ways<\/strong>. Depending on who you are targeting and their position in the <em>sales funnel<\/em>, you can leverage the same knowledge from a different approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Emails<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In addition, if you insert an RSS plugin on your blog, you can <strong>notify your subscribers<\/strong> of the latest posts. If you integrate it with tools like MailChimp, you can send automatic notifications via email. And if it is integrated with your <strong>CRM<\/strong>, you can control the sending based on the preferences of your leads.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Bear in mind that, for example, in an emailing campaign, <strong>each workflow you generate can be linked to a clear objective<\/strong>. In this way, through the analysis of the results you obtain, you will be able to know if your emails achieve the objectives. In other words, if they are working well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Social Media<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As you know, social networks also feed on content. <strong>Facebook<\/strong> is the great platform that allows you to <strong>automate the posts<\/strong> you make on your professional account. To automate your publications on Twitter you can use TweetDeck, a very intuitive tool that will facilitate the publishing process.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">If not, you can also use IFTTT, &#8216;If this, then that&#8217;, which although it is not exactly a tool for publishing on social networks, it is interesting to <strong>programme according to premises<\/strong> several actions on these platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Landing Pages<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>What about content that converts? The <em>landing pages<\/em>, are specific pages that your potential customers access through CTA&#8217;s that lead to content offers or offers in general. They are <strong>one of the most important pages<\/strong> of your website, because they are where you can collect the contact information of your visitors. PageWiz can help you work on your <em>landing pages<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Obviously, all of these tasks are integrated into HubSpot. But as you know, we&#8217;re here to give you options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: centre;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The goal of marketing automation is to monetize the time you spend on your digital strategy and automating content is the first step.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12432,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[298],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12643"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12643\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amara-marketing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
