A Note From Jim
The Only Trick You’ll Ever Need for Fast Relevant Content
All of us need more content to use in our marketing. The problem is, most people’s content sucks! Why? Because they make the process difficult on themselves AND they don’t create content their customers and potential customers want to read.
Creating content is easy. Creating GREAT content is also easy – IF you know the strategy.
Want to know the strategy?
Of course you do! And I’ll reveal it to you in just a minute. But first, let me tell you how I discovered this super-simple, powerful principle of content creation.
A lot of people don’t know this, but I spent 10 years as a syndicated newspaper columnist. I wrote for several papers across the U.S. and my articles got picked up in countless magazines and online publications.
As demand for my column grew and my outside business started to take off, the inevitable time crunch set in. I needed more content, and I had less time in which to make it.
That’s when I made the discovery. Questions. That’s right. Questions.
Just like in the movie The Graduate when the old guy at the party tells Dustin Hoffman’s character “Plastics” were the key to the future, I discovered “Questions” held the key to creating all the content I could ever need, quickly and easily.
All I ever had to do was just answer the questions my target audience asked (or didn’t even know they should ask), and I’d never run out of things to write about in my column. Asking and answering questions is as natural as breathing. It’s how we communicate with each other and even with ourselves.
If you want to create content your customers and potential customers LOVE, then I have a very simple answer for you: Questions! Just find out the questions on their minds and answer them as blog posts, articles, social media posts, videos, webinars, books, home study programs, tweets, links, referrals and more.
I almost feel like I need to apologize for the simplicity of this strategy – but it’s so powerful you should just breathe a sigh of relief and put it to good use.
If you know the questions on the minds of your audience, you hold the keys to an unlimited vault of content creation that will last you several lifetimes!

If you want to create a product that stands the test of time, it must appeal to a fundamental need that simply won’t go away.
A lot of different ideas come and go. I remember 20 years ago, there was a thing called “Blog and ping.” It was a hack / exploit to actually get pages indexed in Google by creating a fake blog, and then using a piece of software to ping Google about a new page on your blog. It was a way to get low value pages into Google as an attempt to exploit their algorithms.
This was back when people were creating directories with Google Adsense in them. They were just flooding the internet with millions of useless pages trying to make money as commissions on AdSense clicks.
For a while it worked like gangbusters! But Google’s not stupid…
Will your product idea cash in for years?
