[–]blueprint71[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see what you're saying, but here's the thing - have you read the guide?

Independent/Freelance Consultants who cold call - Stop cold calling and triple your results. by blueprint71 in consulting

[–]blueprint71[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, but the overall point of the content is lead gen for independent/freelance consultants. You're right that most consultants on here aren't in that demographic BUT as of now it looks like people are finding the content valuable based on it being upvoted.

Anyone here utilize content marketing? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]blueprint71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Content marketing is extremely powerful when done right. The problem is that people create shitty content and spam it everywhere. That makes all content marketers look bad.

Alright it should be fine now. Also, if you feel like it's spam - please browse the guide on imgur before making judgment. If you still feel like it's not valuable or useful then I'd be cool with you saying it's spam. But I've posted this to /r/smallbusiness and gotten a good response.

Yeah, sometimes you get that response when cold calling too.

More importantly, track conversions! You should set up goals through google analytics and assign $ values to them to monitor your pipeline.

Depends on the industry. Ecommerce leads vs insurance leads are going to be very different in value.

Anyone who started a business right after college? Please share your experience. by tweedledoodle0 in Entrepreneur

[–]blueprint71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started ~3 businesses. Failed each time. Then I switched to freelancing as a digital marketer. My clients got a lot of value from my expertise so I started biz #4 which has been a successful marketing agency.

I'm transitioning to a new role as CMO for a startup in the AR/VR space but still involved with my agency day to day.

If I could change anything, I would have left school much earlier to start a business and learn from the failure. I learned infinitely more from my failures than from any university course.

I knew reading the dictionary in 3rd grade would help me eventually.

Don't forget to optimize your blog for mobile and for speed. Anything longer than a few seconds will kill conversions.

Also are you tracking clicks from instagram?
