Episode 09: Content Marketing + Paid Traffic: Part 1 – Calls to Action, “Splintering”, and 5 Killer Blog Post Types

In the first eight episodes of the Perpetual Traffic podcast, you’ve learned the power of running paid traffic to outstanding content that properly positions your products and services to ice cold prospects.

But how do you actually create this epic content?

In the first of a two-part series, the Perpetual Traffic crew are joined by the Director of Editorial at Digital Marketer, Russ Henneberry, to reveal his 6-step process for creating content that sells.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

• The “Backward Blog Post” method that defeats the blank screen and naturally leads an ice cold prospect to your call to action.
• How to use “Product Splintering” to seamlessly transition from paid ad —> blog post —> purchase or opt-in.
• 5 types of blog posts proven to convert cold prospects to leads and sales (Look out for the “Embed Reactor” and “The Content Aggregator”)
