Inbound rather than outbound marketing

Inbound marketing becomes more and more popular because it brings better results than traditional outbound marketing.

Inbound marketing is about created content published through innovative channels to reach your target audience. Whereas outbound marketing is concentrated on methods such as cold calls, printing ads, playing with numbers etc.

The main point is that outbound marketing is inefficient and expensive. You have to contact a certain number of people that someone would be interested in your company. So there is no doubt that we should use inbound marketing strategies!


Guy Kawasaki once said: “If you have more money than brains, you should focus on outbound marketing. If you have more brains than money, you should focus on inbound marketing!”

Content is King

I hear you asking so what should I write about and where? The most popular Inbound Marketing techniques are writing a blog, interacting on social media and SEO. Creating good content is the main idea of inbound marketing.

However, creating good content requires a lot of hard work and research on the topic which should be covered. You have to write about something exciting, new and extraordinary that people would like, comment and tweet about it. The final aim is to engage with your audience.

Converting visitors to customers
