Hi all :)
I've just started a business that I'm not sure how to create a price estimator for. To give a price range, I first need to do research and then walk the property to assess all the possible issues. I've been thinking as an alternative, I could offer a recommendation tool that helps people determine if they should even be talking to me or if they would benefit more from looking at other methods of selling their property. Any feedback on both a price range tool or recommendation tool are would be very helpful. I appreciate the help!

Hello! I have a client who would like to create the following online assessments (via Typeform)
*A Recommender Assessment - "What (Product) Is the Best Fit For My Needs?" - user answers a series of questions and a product is recommended based on users current situation
*Price Estimator - user answers questions and the output is a price range for this particular product or service
The client would like to "combine" these assessments into one: whereas the user gets a recommendation then it immediately leads into the price estimator. I'd like to see if anyone has had success with this approach, or is it better to have them separate? See More

Hello all, at my TAYA client we have a content creation process in place. The SME's (sales and engineering) get interviewed and the articles are created; there are several moments where the SME's can give feedback. The article then goes into the ready for publication folder after everyone has approved the final version.
We are now running into the situation that the SME will give feedback and ultimately approve the article. But then when it's published they come with changes to it again. Any tips, or ideas on how to handle this?
It frustrates the process yet we want the SME's to stay on board and at the same time not demotivate the writers.
Hoping to hear how you've (or would) handled this. Thanks in advance!

I have a 5,000 plus word blog post called The VA Home Loan Ultimate Guide.
I'd like to create more ultimate guides with the other types of mortgages (FHA, USDA, conventional).
The problem is only the middle part of the blog where I talk about the credit score, debt, income, property condition is different based on the mortgage.
The beginning and end of the buying process doesn't change because of the mortgage.
Would I be okay do ultimate guides on each mortgage type and keep the beginning and end, but only change the middle section? Basically duplicating the a portion of the blog.
If not, what be the best approach to doing ultimate guides for each mortgage? Should I have separate sections for each type of mortgage? Or should I just stick to... See More

We've got a team putting together what I (think) is great content for our organization, but I'd welcome some feedback? This is our first serious (we did some soft funny videos first) video we created. We've actually created a pretty full pipeline (I think there are 15-20 video projects underway), but I'd love some non-geek (we're in the IT services world) feedback if possible:

Kevin Church strikes again with great new research he discovered on the optimal length of title tags when it comes to SEO performance from Cyrus Shepard at Zyppy.
In this report, he covers: How much of your title will Google display? How long of a title will Google index and use for ranking purposes? How does length impact Google rewriting your title? Most importantly, does title length impact rankings and traffic? Definitely worth the read and a lot of great insight, especially for us content and website folks. Share your main takeaways and insights down below! See More

Following our Content Managers Mastermind discussion this month, we are looking to gather some examples of comparison articles that may or may not have stirred the pot a bit in your industry.
There are two different examples of articles I'd be looking for: Company vs company Product vs product Toss some links in the thread so we can build a list of comparison articles to reference and 'compare' how we approach comparison articles! See More

I'm curious about everyone's thoughts on this Reddit thread: Tell me why I'm wrong: Organic social media is a waste of time (B2B)
Our team (we are in the commercial real estate industry) has been doing a lot of restrategizing for 2022 and we keep getting hung up on our organic social media strategy.
I've spent a lot of time analyzing our audiences, engagement, etc. on each platform and have (kind of) come to the conclusion that our social media is planning is a bit of a money pit. We spend time creating and scheduling content, but none of our social campaigns have lead to any meaningful revenue or contacts that I can track.

Hey Content Managers,
I'm working on a new lesson for IMPACT + and I would love some input from you all.
The lesson will be about how to proofread and edit blog content before publishing.
I want to hear some of your tips and suggestions for a smooth process that helps your content go from the messy first draft to the polished, educational gem that wows your audience.
Here are a few questions I have: What does your process look like between your first and final draft? How many sets of eyes typically review your content before it’s finalized? What is your biggest challenge in the editing and proofreading stage? What is one hack you can share that will make others’ lives easier when it comes to editing and proofreading? What are your favorite... See More

Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here we go!
I've been at my current company for about 2.5 years. Since I've been there, WordPress updates and WP Plugin updates have never been prioritized. I've been trying to fight to get them updated as I know it is a security risk and I understand it could break our website if they get TOO out of date.
I'm now in a position to make recommendations on how to move forward. The agency we currently use for website updates is charging $160 an hour and estimates that our WordPress + Plugin updates will take around 10 hours at the least - so around $1,600 total.
Once we get to that point, with everything updated, can I go in and perform the updates every week or is that risky? We... See More

Hi everyone,
I am looking for advice and experience sharing in growing an audience for a newsletter.
I launched last November https://www.itbusinesscrush.fr/ with the intent of creating content for IT leaders who want to help their company grow the business. I write in French to tap into my existing Linkedin network and test the concept.
My goals are as follow: Know more about my core audience of IT leaders, and possibly create new relationships beyond my existing network, Create unique content that I can translate and reuse for my future blog (on serverlesscrush.com), Work with software vendors on some content (videos, mini-demos). Those vendors are my potential paying clients. QUALITY is essential, meaning that I prefer fewer people but... See More

This article caught my eye this morning. Google is crawling pages and looking for an emphasis on certain words or phrases through bolding or italics.
While it probably won't take your article from Page 8 to Page 1 on the SERP page, it seems that Google will give it a bit more weight: Whereas if you take a handful of sentences or words within your full page where you say this is really important for me and you bold those, then it’s a lot easier for us to say well here’s a lot of text, and this is potentially one of the most important points of this page, and we can give that a little bit more value. Seems that the key takeaway from this article is to strategically use bolding and italics not just for emphasis in the article, but for... See More

Just a quick item of consideration for people just getting started or those who are only in the first or second year of TAYA content protocols.
It took us 5 years to kick off the bonfire of revenue we are currently bringing in with a "spark" that was one blog post that started bringing real money around the three-year mark.
But, one of the most interesting things I have noticed about the posts that make us the biggest money is that the blogs we have created that generate big revenue, have some of the lowest clicks/views.
The majority of our most popular and most-read content is not the content that drives major deals.
Furthermore, the blog posts that are bringing in the big bucks, are very specific and usually ultra-focused on specialized... See More

Hey everyone! In our last Content Manager Mastermind, I mentioned that I'm getting buy-in around conducting monthly interviews with our (regional MSP) service team of about 13 engineers and technicians to drum up some more content ideas. I took Liz's excellent content brainstorm cheat sheet and adapted some of the questions to try to pull some ideas out of those in a more customer service and technical role. I'll be trying it out soon, but I'd love any feedback you have before then!

We all love HubSpot, but I'm interested in hearing what other platforms or tools people have used to measure the ROI of their content? Anyone out there use Parsely? Tableau? Momently? Cyfe? Anything else?
What else is out there?

Hey there Content peeps!
I'm excited to show off our brand-new Learning Center at E-N Computers:
www.encomputers.com
We've had a "learning center" button on our menu bar since our website relaunch last year, but it was pretty terrible - basically just links to our blog archive and some other random pages. Our category/tag structure was a mess too, with tons of duplicates, meaningless categories, and everything else you'd expect from 10 years of Wordpress.
So I spent the last few weeks rebuilding our taxonomy structure so that it (hopefully) makes more sense to our target audience. I added Industry and Persona groupings, and broke everything out by content type. Then I put it all together with a fancy AJAX search & filter plugin... et... See More

I'm working on the first article in a series for IMPACT and I was curious about the best way to position the articles to be recognizable as a series and still SEO friendly + valuable for someone who hadn't read any previous articles in the series.
If you have any examples of article series you publish each month, that'd be amazing for inspiration as well. Thanks! See More
