Can you answer these four questions about your own company, in writing, today?
Who exactly do you sell to. What do you charge and why. What does your brand sound like. What do you stand for that a competitor wouldn't say.
A content marketer asked his founder those four questions this week. The founder declined and stopped replying. 55 comments said it's a pattern.
Those four questions are the deliverable.
A founder who can't answer them has a positioning problem with a content budget attached. Hiring a better writer or buying a better model just produces more confident output pointed at nobody.
If those answers don't exist in writing, month one of any content engagement is building them. Any vendor who skips that step is selling you volume.
We run a private community called The Signal for operators building the current-cycle version of the business.
If you can't answer all four in writing right now, comment SIGNAL and we'll send you the invite.
