#1 Add a PDF Download Page to your content

Drive lead generation by offering a downloadable PDF on a topic of interest to your target audience.

Create a dedicated landing page where visitors can access the PDF after providing their email address.

The PDF should offer valuable insights, establishing your company’s authority on the subject.

By capturing email addresses, you can nurture these leads with further content and product offers.

This tactic not only fills the top of your funnel with qualified leads but also positions your brand as a thought leader in the industry.

Ensure the content of the PDF is relevant to your product or service, guiding the reader towards considering your solution.

#2 Build Comparison Pages

Steal ready-to-buy leads from your competitors. Show users you’re their best option with comparison pages built to rank, persuade, and convert.

Many users search for comparisons like “Competitor 1 vs Competitor 2” before making a purchase decision.

Create a page that compares your product with major competitors to highlight your unique advantages.

✅ Such comparisons can drive significant organic traffic. For instance, Everhour’s comparison of their product versus Harvest and Toggl ranks high in search results.

✅ Once set up, these pages can drive consistent traffic with minimal ongoing effort.

✅ It allows you to proactively communicate your core benefits over competitors.

#3 Create a 30-day content calendar from a single blog post

Step 1: Pick a blog from website that covers a broad topic. You can share link to the blog in your socials. That makes 1 content.
Step 2: Break down the broad topic into several subtopic. For the sake of the post, let’s assume I have a minimum of 4 subtopics in hand.
Step 3: Develop 4 carousels that will dive deep into the subtopics. That makes 1+4 content.
Step 4: Pick up the quantitative figures from the blog and make infographics out of them. If there are no numbers mentioned in the blog, make visual interpretation of the qualitative stuff that’s already in there. For the sake of this post, I am assuming that I can create 4 such infographic from the 4 subtopics. Now we have 1+4+4 content.
Step 5: Pick up quotes or important facts from the blog and turn them into static images. Elaborate the fact in your caption. Let’s say you can create two such statics from the blog. I usually use data I derived from secondary sources to make these kind of content. We have reached 1+4+4+2 content.
Step 6: Reshare the blog link in your socials to generate more traffic. No harm in doing that. We now have generated a total of 1+4+4+2+1 = 12 content to cover us the whole month.

#4 Create Longform Content from Existing Posts

By merging several smaller posts on related topics, you can create a comprehensive longform guide or “mega-guide.”

Longform content tends to rank better on search engines and can establish your brand as an authority on the subject.
This approach not only breathes new life into older content but also provides readers with a one-stop resource on the topic.
Additionally, combining insights from multiple posts ensures depth and thoroughness, enhancing the user experience.

#5 Get Interviewed On Podcasts

When offering a discount, always ask for something in return.

Otherwise, you devalue your product and lose trust.

Offer discounts only in exchange for:

Long-term commitment
Upfront annual payment
Taking part in a case study
Intros/referrals to other companies
Signing/onboarding in the next x days

#6 Know the ‘results’ of your product

Talking about the results delivered by your product is excellent.

Do not only talk about functional results, but also emotional and social results associated with using your product.

Here are three examples:

1. Functional results:

Close more deals (e.g higher win rate)
Keep customers engaged (e.g. lower churn rate)
Build a positive employer brand (e.g. faster time to hire)
Release more features faster (e.g. increase in NPS score)
Create nice social media assets in minutes (e.g. higher social engagement)

2. Emotional results: How your customers feel

Feeling proud
Feeling confident and strong
Feeling organized
Feeling relaxed
Feeling smart

3. Social results: How your customers are perceived (by others)

Increase in standing and reputation
Being ‘seen’
Belonging to someone
Being Relevant
Being perceived as professional

#7 Revamp the top 3 jobs to be done

Customers don’t buy your product because of all your features.

Actually, they don’t care.

Customers “hire” your product. They care about what’s in for them.

Your product helps them to do their job better:

e.g. create beautiful websites/convert lots of traffic in signups/close more deals/get customers’ insights (—> Jobs to be done)

They want to feel [emotional results using your product] – e.g. healthier/more productive/smarter

👉 Revamp the 3 main jobs to be done for your ideal customer (do research, customer interviews, read reviews, etc.).

Adapt them in your customer-facing communication.

#8 Revamp your 1-sentence value proposition

Your 1-sentence value proposition is key for all your sales and marketing communication.

👉 We enable/empower/help [ICP] to [Main Result] by [Solution]

👉 We, [company XYZ], create software/platform for [ICP] that enables/empowers/helps them to [Main Result] by [How]

👉 My/our product/service helps [the target group] who want [jobs to be done] by [minimizing a pain] and [maximizing a gain] unlike [your competitors]

#9 Social proof/testimonials – Pricing Page

Add social proof also on your pricing page.

👉 See https://www.notion.so/pricing or http://partner.canva.com/alexnotion pricing page.

#10 Social proof/testimonials – Signup/ account page

Add social proof also on your signup/create account page.

#11 Social proof/testimonials – Welcome email sequence

Add social proof also in your welcome email sequence.

As long as signups haven’t converted to paying customers you still need to ‘sell’ – so the social proof is key. This could be sharing a case study or product reviews.
