Content has a clear role in the marketing process. It must aid the customer journey by moving readers from one stage of awareness to the next until they become leads. In other words, content develops leads.

If your content is going to fulfill its duty—to turn readers into leads—people need to actually read it. So how can you write content that people will read?

From Reads To Leads teaches 11 principles that define how a content writer writes every draft. Applying these principles to your writing will help you grab the right person’s attention, get your message across, and move your reader down the marketing funnel.

The book comes with 40 writing exercises to each chapter to help you learn and practice several writing rules that will help you focus on writing content that makes readers act instead of writing content that sits on a server and gathers dust.

You'll discover:

• How to understand what your readers need and how to write content that appeals to them
• How to get the desired response from your readers and move them down the marketing funnel
