We always hear - Be nice to your customers.
When it comes to content, replace customers with Audience
Now a days as 'video content' is on the rise, I sense that somehow the above principal has got lost.
When we create content, the entire focus is on ourselves/ our product/ our channel/ our app. We want our audience to buy stuff, we want them to download our app, we want them to like our video, we want them to subscribe, we want them to clap etc etc
Isn’t we need to give a nice feeling to our audience throughout our video rather than instructing them with list of CTAs.
Lets ‘Be first nice to our audience’ and then sell.
Do you agree?
I normally say 'be useful' to your audience/community. Focus on being useful will get you far. Focusing on trying to sell at every possible opportunity, not so much.
Yes Agree!
I definitely agree!
I think there is a point at which you can start selling but first, you need to earn that customers trust.
Doing this means giving back. Compound this over time and you are left with some avid followers who appreciate the things you say, do, and share. Those followers are way more likely to support you even if whatever you are offering might not be 100% geared towards them.
Couldn't agree more
And I think now Google's algorithm also work on this philosophy.
Google wants you to share great content first to build that trust.
