“Never ask for anything, and especially from those who are stronger than you. They’ll make the offer themselves, and give it of their own accord” — that’s one popular quote from Mikhail Bulgakov’s book, The Master and Margarita. Even though Bulgakov didn’t mean that in the context of marketing, that’s a generally good rule. Content marketing is one thing that provides the most inbound requests. In other words, make people come to you first and offer themselves.
According to SEMRush, 78% of companies with a documented content marketing strategy produced effective, meaningful content. Content marketing generates over three times as many leads as outbound marketing and costs 62% less.
