Autoresponder series topics for an offline business?

4 replies
Hi guys,

I couldn't find any answer to this using the search function (or maybe it's been a long day and I need a shot of coffee).

The thing is, I want to create a 5-7 part AR Series for offline businesses (i.e. an architect, a graphic designer, etc). I've been thinking about using topics like:

Should you hire an architect?
Why hire a professional architect?
How to select an architect
Our portofolio
Etc.

Do you think that's the best angle or should i choose different topics?

    The question you need to answer is: "What is my target market looking for?"

    What are they actively searching for, TODAY? What are they saying (not what are you thinking they're saying--get facts!) they need help with?

    Answer that, and you'll have your topics.

    Agree with Jason.

    Okay - take the architect for example.

    Think about what those who are likely to hire them would be interested in reading about...

    Etc...

    Point being, you want them to be valuable, be interesting to read, to demand attention.

    They answer the questions like "which architect should I hire" by engaging the reader, building a relationship, educating them and standing out from the crowd.

    Hope that helps!

        This will be the first time I offer this kind of service, but I think there will be a good profit margin (I have to test if first) and it would be a good idea to hire a pro copywriter to make the AR series. But in my case I'm offering this on the spanish market and I feel that our copywriters here are kind of "mmm"... and don't even know if they use to write ar series. On the other hand, I'm far from being a professional, but I do love copywriting and probably can make a somewhat decent series for this first test.

        Thank you for your answers!
