Tim here. This week, we talk about: - What is a content marketing strategy and how to create one that's effective in 2023. - Eddy Quan's Twitter hack that 99% of people don't know about (plus his Copyblogger story and building a social media presence). - My review of Alex Hormozi's new book, $100 Million Leads. - The SEO basics you should focus on. - How to optimize for the latest Google algorithm update. --------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored This week's issue is [brought to you by Skool](=). A community platform for creators. --------------------------------------------------------------- 1. What Is A Content Marketing Strategy In 2023? ​ The difference between the most successful content marketers and average content marketers is the work that happens before (and after) they hit the publish button. The most savvy content marketers use a process to identify who they want to attract and then craft a plan to consistently create content that appeals to those people. As a result, their content tends to generate higher quality prospects and ultimately drive more sales than a marketer who publishes content at random. This is why a content marketing strategy is essential. Even though both content marketers are spending the same resources to create content, the ones with a defined content strategy tend to see a higher ROI. ​[>> In this post, we’ll first define what a content marketing strategy is, and then discuss how you can create an effective content marketing strategy for 2023 and beyond.](=)​ --------------------------------------------------------------- 2. 99% of People Don't Know This Twitter Hack In this episode, the Tim interviews Eddy, who shares his experience with Copyblogger and how it impacted his life.

Book Review: $100 Million Dollar Leads [[video preview]​](=) In this video, I review the book "100 Million Dollar Leads" by Alex Hormozi. I provide a breakdown of the book, highlighting the key lessons and sharing my thoughts on what I liked and didn't like. The book focuses on the core four strategies for lead generation: warm outreach, cold outreach, paid advertising, and creating content.

She regularly reports on algorithm updates, and here are the key takeaways for optimizing for this new update: ​ It's easy to panic when you see your traffic drop dramatically overnight, but if you continue producing quality content that your audience loves, you'll recover your rankings.
