Content Marketing on a Shoestring
Content Marketing on a Shoestring - Tips for Small Business Owners on a Tight Budget
“Content marketing is all the marketing that’s left.” Those words from Seth Godin have never been truer, particularly for businesses looking to really engage with their audience. However, if you’re struggling with budget issues—and what business isn’t?—it’s quite natural that you might be lagging behind the curve here.
Marketing is 100% necessary. That rule holds true for every single business in every single industry under the sun. Of course, that doesn’t mean that it’s affordable. Even mid-sized and larger businesses can struggle with developing a realistic, workable marketing budget, and small firms are often left out in the cold.
Don't worry – content marketing doesn’t have to be exorbitantly expensive. There are ways that even businesses on a shoestring budget can get the word out and pull in new prospective customers. In this report, we’ll cover some of the most pertinent options, and what you need to know about each.

Content Marketing vs. Inbound Marketing: Inextricably linked but Not the Same
"What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form." - David Ogilvy, the "Father of Advertising". The quote above comes from David Ogilvy, widely hailed as the father of advertising. Moreover, it came long before the supposedly modern concept of marketing in a day when direct sales methods were not only expected, but the primary tool available to businesses. It illustrates clearly that content marketing is nothing new. In fact, it's a time-honored means of connecting with your audience and then building brand value and loyalty.
This paper will help you understand the concept of content marketing and will explain its relationship with inbound marketing.
