Feature Presentation: 5 Fatal Flaws Of Free Content
Content marketing is a great tactic – as long as you don't give away the wrong stuff. Doing that will kill your hope of making any sales. Here are the 5 biggest “fatal flaws” I see people make with free content as a marketing strategy…
- Fails to move the reader progressively toward a decision
- Assumes too much about what the new reader already knows.

- Gives away all the “how to”. (Only give away the “what to”)
- Closes all the “open loops” in the readers mind.
