This post will give you plenty of ideas to implement that will make your marketing more solution-oriented. That way, your prospects see you as a helpful problem solver they actually like and trust ... not just a peddler of your product or service!

1) Create how-to blog content:

As most inbound marketers know, success starts with content; so begin by writing blog posts that solve peoples' problems! If you'll allow me to get meta for a minute, this very blog post about how to be a problem solver is, well, solving a problem.

2) Create lead gen offers that make people's lives easier:

You need to convert that blog traffic into leads, and if you've written some amazing content, your readers will probably want to learn more from you. Create lead gen content that will help your readers be more successful.

3) Source problems to feed your content:

Ask all employees to document these questions and problems and send them your way to feed your solution-oriented content.

4) Leverage the brainpower of your community:

Look, nobody knows everything. You're surrounded by people that have data, research, insights, and experiences from which your audience would benefit. Tap into that brainpower, and be the one to share it with the rest of your community!

5) Monitor and respond to social media inquiries: Speaking of social media, your active presence on social sites can contribute to your reputation as a thought leader, problem solver, and all around awesome business.

6) Optimize for long-tail search:

Long-tail search is a critical component of any well-rounded SEO and content strategy, and it provides tremendous opportunity for marketers that are looking to be more solution-oriented with their content. That's because many long-tail keywords are centered around interrogative queries, like "what makes a good blog post," or "where should I host my blog," or "how to start a blog."

7) Nurture leads with emails based on their problems:

Consider segmenting your lists and creating lead nurturing tracks that address specific buyer problems. You can identify the problems right in your landing page forms.

8) Create apps and tools that help solve a problem:

When you enter your website into the free tool, you get a comprehensive report that tells you not just an arbitrary grade, but also actionable advice on exactly what areas of your marketing need improvement, and how you can do it.

So where is the smart money being spent on new media by the top companies to make the best use of their marketing budget?

What separates the best from everyone else?

Remarkable entrepreneurs do more than make money. They are the few who possess qualities that don't appear on balance sheets but do make a significant impact on the lives of their employees, industries, and communities.

Here are nine qualities of remarkable entrepreneurs:

#1. They find happiness in the success of others

#2. They relentlessly seek new experiences

#3. They don't think work/life balance; they just think life

#4. They're incredibly empathetic

#5. They have something to prove - to themselves

#6. They ignore the 40-hour workweek hype

#7. They see money as a responsibility, not a reward

#8. They don't think they're remarkable

#9. They know that success is fleeting, but dignity and respect last forever

Google tiene un valor de 156.125 millones de dólares en el mercado. Facebook, cuya entrada en Bolsa es inminente, valdrá de salida unos 83.500 millones de dólares, lo que puede parecer poco comparado con la cifra anterior, pero que en realidad es cuatro veces más de lo que tuvo Google como valor cuando debutó en 2004. Son dos de los mayores gigantes de nuestro tiempo, ambos levantados sobre empresas tecnológicas con un valor intangible que a muchos les hace pensar en que una nueva burbuja de las ‘puntocom’ esté al llegar. La novedad, lo que hace a Google y Facebook diferentes de otras empresas que valen tanto o más que ellas, es precisamente su objeto de negocio, aquello con lo que trabajan. Y en ambos casos ese material eres tú.

QuestionPro es una interesante aplicación web que nos permitirá la creación y difusión de nuestras propias encuestas, ofreciéndonos para ello diferentes posibilidades. Todo ello dependerá de las capacidades del plan de tarificación que hayamos escogido, disponiendo de una primera opción de carácter gratuito, que igual puede ser suficiente para momentos puntuales.

A la hora de crear nuestra encuesta, podemos partir de plantillas ya prediseñadas, disponibles en diferentes categorías, donde lo único que tenemos que hacer es realizar modificaciones, o bien optar por empezar completamente desde cero o bien importar un documento desde word. Ya luego nos toca elegir tema visual, realizar ajustes a nuestra encuesta, modificando aquellos elementos que consideremos necesarios, para finalmente difundirla a través de diferentes medios, incluyéndose hasta un código QR de entre las posibilidades.
