  1. Write guest posts for other blogs.
  2. Answer Quora questions.
  3. Publish content on LinkedIn.
  4. Offer to do interviews on other business’ podcasts.
  5. Promote your website on your email signature.
  6. Send email newsletters.
  7. Do a free product giveaway or contest.
  8. Create YouTube videos.
  9. Take advantage of your partnerships.
  10. Post on social media.
  11. Experiment with photo and video platforms.
  12. Encourage happy customers to give online reviews.

1. Write guest posts for other blogs.

There are a few major advantages to guest posting for a well-established blog. You can benefit from connecting to that blog’s audience, and you can also start establishing yourself as a thought leader in your industry.

Since guest posting on a popular blog allows you access to an established audience and high domain authority, this practice can sometimes be more beneficial than posting to your own blog. Plus, you can link back to your own website from your article, giving you an inbound link that boosts your domain authority and can increase your own website's ranking in search engines.

2. Answer Quora questions.

Writing content for Quora can expose your business to a large audience: in 2018, Quora reported a worldwide audience of 300 million monthly visitors.

Besides the large built-in audience, your business can answer direct questions from prospective customers. This lets you interact with high-quality potential leads and establish yourself as an expert in the subjects that matter most in your industry.

3. Publish content on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is a platform to connect with professionals, which is why it’s also a great place to share business-related content. LinkedIn’s blogging platform lets you demonstrate your expertise within your industry.

Your connections and other LinkedIn members will engage with your posts and share them, doing the free promotion for you. With almost half of all social media traffic coming to B2B company sites from LinkedIn, it’s a missed opportunity if you don’t publish and promote content on LinkedIn.

4. Offer to do interviews on other business’ podcasts.

To figure out which platforms your team should prioritize, it’s important to diversify your promotion platforms to discover where your audience is already consuming content. Some of your audience might prefer listening to podcasts over reading articles. To reach those people, contact a few businesses with podcasts and pitch interview ideas.

5. Promote your website on your email signature.

With all the emails you send every day, it’s a shame if you aren't taking advantage of the promotional potential of your email signature. Your email signature can also be unexpected property to promote a sale, contest, event, or even a new blog post.

Emotional Advertising: How Brands Use Feelings to Get People to Buy

Image
  This post originally appeared on HubSpot's Agency Post. To read more content like this, subscribe to Agency Post.   Ads that make people share and buy can usually be summed up in one word: emotional. That should be no surprise. Studies show that people rely on emotions, rather than information, to make brand decisions -- and that emotional responses to ads are more influential on a person’s intent to buy than the content of an ad. As Douglas Van Praet, author of  Unconscious Branding: How Neuroscience Can Empower (and Inspire) Marketing , wrote in  Fast Company , “The most startling truth is we don’t even think our way to logical solutions. We feel our way to reason. Emotions are the substrate, the base layer of neural circuitry underpinning even rational deliberation. Emotions don’t hinder decisions. They constitute the foundation on which they’re made!” Unruly, which ranks the most viral ads each year, found that the   most-shared ads of 2015   relied heavily on emotional conte

The Definition of Advertising in Less Than 50 Words

Image
  Ads in 2018 are anything but straightforward -- but that's kind of the point. Consider for a minute that this green rainbow is an ad: McDonald's "Shambow" light installation, Chicago, St. Patrick's Day 2018 (Image via Adweek) And this "Ketchup" jersey is also an ad: Doritos' limited edition Ketchup streetwear line (Image via Adweek) Once easily defined in terms of medium, today's ads are designed to slip seamlessly into our lives without causing noticeable disruptions (whether or not they always succeed in this area is another story entirely). With advertisers working harder than ever to create unexpected (and undetected) ad experiences, a clear definition of  advertising  is more difficult than you might think to pin down. If you're here, I'm guessing you're looking for a succinct, simple definition of advertising. Maybe even -- and I'm reaching here -- in 50 words or less? I won't delay you further.
