In this video, you'll learn what product-led content marketing is and how we use it in our marketing at Ahrefs.

***************************************
Product-led content is content that helps people solve common problems with the use of your product. It's not about hard-selling your product. It's about strategically weaving it and its use cases into the content.

Product-led content serves three primary purposes:

► bring awareness to your products at scale;
► acquire new customers;
► retain existing customers.

To create product-led content, you need to do three things.

First, you need to make sure you know your product well and understand how it can help solve your customers' problems. The better you know your product and the more you believe in its effectiveness and use cases, the better your content will be.

Watch the video to learn more about this stage.

The second thing you need to do is find topics you'll create content around. At Ahrefs, we choose topics mostly based on search traffic potential.

You’ll learn how we do it from the video.

The third step is to prioritize keywords by analyzing their business potential. Business potential is a way of scoring topics based on how helpful you think your product is in solving a specific problem.

Want to learn how to do it? Watch the video.

Digital Marketers: Stop Ignoring These Things

Thu, 04 May 2023 15:51:22 +0000

In this video, you'll learn important things in marketing that many digital marketers ignore but really shouldn’t.

***************************************
Even experienced digital marketers often neglect some essential things in their work. But at a closer look, there are some vital things that you can't ignore if you want to succeed.

Here are a few that we consider important.

The first thing that often gets overlooked is platform intent. Platform intent can be described as a user's subconscious intent to go to a specific platform for specific reasons. E.g., people visit Pinterest to find inspiration for their creative projects or YouTube to entertain or learn something new.

Watch the video to learn more about how you can ensure you match the format and messaging of your marketing to the primary platform’s intent.

The second thing that digital marketers ignore is competitors in different niches. Marketers are used to monitoring their direct competitors. But it is also vital to keep an eye on marketing strategies in other niches that can be applied straight to your business.

Watch the video to get some idea of what to pay attention to in other niches.

The next thing that often gets ignored is omnichannel user experience. Today, marketing is focused on customer journeys and experiences rather than one-off pageviews or metrics without context.

Watch the video to learn more about using the holistic approach to user experience.

The next important thing that marketers often neglect is talking to their customers. And it's nearly impossible to do good marketing if you don't know exactly who you're marketing to.

Watch the video to see what you can ask your customers about.

The final thing that marketers ignore time and time again is their product. Often, digital marketers get obsessed with metrics like traffic, views, likes, comments, and subscribers and forget that there's a product they should put in the center of their efforts.

Want to know why? Watch the video.

***************************************
As I’m sure you’ve seen, many SEOs and digital marketers have been sharing about their favorite SEO use cases for ChatGPT on Twitter and LinkedIn. The unfortunate thing is that many of these SEO tips won’t help you improve SEO leading to wasted time.

So we tested dozens of ways to use ChatGPT for SEO (beyond generating AI content) and have come up with a list of SEO tactics, prompts, and techniques to help you get higher rankings and more organic traffic to your website. Not just that, you’ll learn some efficient techniques that will save SEOs time and money in their everyday workflows.

For example, one of the best ways to use ChatGPT for SEO is to construct snippets of code – regular expressions being one type. SEOs can use this in tools like Google Search Console (GSC) or Ahrefs to find specific subsets of data to improve SEO.

In this video, you’ll learn a handful of prompts to use in ChatGPT and a use case to find low-hanging keyword ideas in Google Search Console.

Now on the other side, we tested and curated some of the worst ways to use ChatGPT for SEO that many SEOs are raving about. This includes things like keyword research, AI content writing for SEO, and search intent classification to name a few.

Watch the video to see why you shouldn’t be using ChatGPT for these kinds of SEO use cases.

Spending $800K on Marketing Ideas: Lessons Learned

In this video, you’ll learn about some marketing campaigns we spent money on and our takeaways from those campaigns.

***************************************
So, we spent over $800,000 on marketing campaigns with no tracking and having no expectations for ROI. Let’s find out if they were worth it or a waste of money.

First, we ran a Google ads campaign to earn backlinks. We spent around $16,100 on it to test if you could get backlinks by simply paying your way to the top of the search results with ads.

Want to know if it’s a way to go for link building? Watch the video.

Next, we revamped our Homepage after five years, intending to add some personality and rethink our messaging. To do this, we hired three different copywriting agencies and spent around $33,000 for their services.

The lessons learned were unexpected to say the least.

The next experiment was for podcast sponsorships, for which we spent $52,000 on podcast ads in total.

Watch the video to learn what we got from these sponsorships.

Another thing we did was reallocate our Google and Facebook ads budgets to creator sponsorships. This initiative was multifaceted as we believe that creators should be recognized for their work and expertise. That’s why we’re creating the search engine yep.com from the ground up.

Want to learn more about our creators' sponsorships? Watch the video.

Finally, in addition to individual creator sponsorships, we spent around $100,000 in conference sponsorships in 2022.

Watch the video to learn about the results of these sponsorships and our takeaway from all our marketing campaigns.

The process of finding and qualifying niches depends on which stage you are in with the niche selection.

You’ll probably fall into one of two buckets.

Bucket #1: You already have a general idea of the niches that interest you.

Here you can write your niche ideas down and check the potential keywords and websites that you’ll be competing against.

Watch the video to learn how to do it step by step.

Bucket #2: You don’t have a concrete idea yet, but you’re open to any opportunities that may interest you. And here, you can start by checking the websites linking to popular affiliate programs, like Amazon, to see if there’s a good niche opportunity for you.

Want to learn how to research the Amazon affiliate program to find a good niche? Watch the video.

Keyword Research Pt 1: How to Analyze Searcher Intent - 1.2. SEO Course by Ahrefs ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXPZ0L2cOw4

***************************************
Keyword research is the first step to setting the foundation for the topics you’ll create content on. As an affiliate marketer, you’re not selling products or services directly to customers. So you’ll need to find topics that are easy to organically recommend products. And the first thing you need for this research is to understand search intent.

Search intent tells us about the purpose of a searcher’s query. By understanding the intent of a query, you’ll be able to determine whether you can easily recommend products.

Learn more about search intent in this video.

You’ll also learn about the four types of so-called ‘affiliate keywords’ that you’ll want to go after:

► general comparisons;
► branded comparisons;
► product reviews;
► ‘trust and authority’ keywords.

Watch the video to learn how these types fit into an affiliate marketing site and how to find them for your site.

***************************************
The content marketing strategy we'll be using revolves around organizing the list of topics from your keyword research list into logical structures that'll help grow your SEO traffic to your affiliate site.

You'll learn how to create a massive hub of related content covering all your niche's essential topics. And more importantly, you’ll learn how all of this is related to creating "topical authority" for your site.

Topical authority is typically looked at as including two things:

► topical coverage (content);
► backlinks

Watch the video to learn more about building so-called ‘topical authority’ for your affiliate site.

Before you start building your web of related content, you'll have to map topics together. And the most efficient way to map affiliate topics is by creating product clusters.

A product cluster is a simple content structure that connects a general comparison post with multiple product review posts.

Successful Affiliate Marketing Websites to Learn From ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4v56IRAxOU

***************************************
Regardless of the website’s type, its homepage serves three main purposes:

► communicating what your brand or company does;
► leading people toward a conversion goal;
► helping rank important pages higher in Google.

You’ll learn how to do all 3 things in the video.

The next thing to consider when planning your affiliate marketing site is setting up its navigation menu.

The website’s navigation menu should serve two primary purposes:

► provide a smooth user experience for visitors;
► make it easy for search engines to access your content.

This means your navigation menu should make it easy for search engines to find content on your site by “following” links from one page to another.

Watch the video to learn more about how it works and what your steps should be to improve your website's navigation menu.

***************************************
Revenue generating, or “money-making” blog posts are the commercial posts that we covered in Module 3 of this course:

► general comparisons;
► branded comparisons;
► product reviews.

When writing these posts for your affiliate site, your primary goal should be to serve the intent of the visitor. This increases your chances of ranking higher in Google and earning more affiliate commissions.

This video will cover how to write blog posts for general comparison keywords such as "best [product name]."

You’ll also learn how to write product reviews that convert into commissions. These pages tie in directly with general comparisons because a part of our overall strategy is to build “product clusters.”

The final commercial blog post type is “branded comparisons.” These are your typical “vs.” posts. This type of post is perfect for visitors who have narrowed down their product research to a few options and are looking to make an informed purchasing decision.

Watch the video to learn more about writing general comparison posts and creating topic clusters with your content.
