The ABCs of Rockstar Content Marketing with Philipp Schoeffmann [The Opportunity Ep.141]

Summary: With the content marketing industry constantly evolving, it’s easy to get caught up chasing the latest trends and forget about the basic principles that form a strong marketing foundation. This week’s guest, Philipp Schoeffmann, joins us to explain how to build on those basics to turbocharge your marketing. Philipp is a 20-year marketing veteran. He has not only lit up the stage as the charismatic host of the Affiliate Worlds conferences, but he is also the pioneer behind Reals, a service that repurposes your existing video content into engaging clips that boost your brand’s authority. Philipp sits down with Greg to explain why marketers need to avoid shiny object syndrome and instead focus on the core ingredients of marketing mastery.   Before you can expect to successfully market to your audience, you need to understand what drives them. What makes them tick? What keeps them up at night? Armed with this knowledge, you can create attractive offers and impactful content that really resonates with consumers and keeps them coming back for more. The good news is that creating powerful content doesn’t have to be a grueling process. With the right structure in place and a little help from AI, creating high-quality content at scale is easy as pie.  Another way to save time and money on content creation is to lean into the power of user-generated content. According to Philipp, “User-generated content is definitely the way to go. In general, you can expect your traffic to be maybe a fourth in terms of cost. CPMs are a lot lower. Engagement rates are four or five times higher. And you just build up a lot of trust. So user-generated content gets you better buyers at a cheaper cost.” If your marketing feels tired and lackluster, listen in to Philipp’s top-notch advice on how to create content that really packs a punch!
