I’m Jeff Coyle, the co-founder and chief strategy officer for MarketMuse, and this is the DiscoPosse podcast.

Fantastic. All right, so Jeff, I. I lit up like a Christmas tree when I saw your name, crossed my my guest list and I was really, really happy. I’ve been. I’ve been probably crossing paths with you through various means over the course of a couple of decades at this point, both as a reader of your content, as a contributor to areas where you’ve been in and now as a consumer of of stuff that’s in the space that market uses is tackling.

So boy, oh, boy, I’m excited about the chance to chat today. So thanks very much for joining us.

Yeah, it’s a pleasure. And I’m really looking forward to the discussion. We have so many cross paths crossed over the last two decades. I mean, I’ve been now doing this for May 1st. I think it’s twenty two years. So it’s kind of scary. And and yeah, we were just catching up before the Top End and you said, yeah, there’s a couple of things that we’re just striking.

So, yeah. So for folks that are new to you, I want to get you if you want to give a bit of a quick bio here. And also, Jeff, where folks, if they want to connect online, will remind them at the end, of course. But where where they can reach out if they wanted to chat further on what we’re going to talk about.

Yeah, sure. So first things first on the contact side, Jeffrey, underscore Coile on on Twitter, that very active on LinkedIn, Jeff at Market News.com, that’s MRK at Mmusi dot com. I respond to everything. And we also also have a slack community called the Content Strategy Collective. And if you’re looking for over fifteen hundred content strategists, both technical and content focused search engine optimization professionals, conversion rate optimization professionals in there, just doing it every day.

So if you want to invite for that private group and I can include a shortened length for you, you you put on your show notes.

Nice. That’s great. The I love the name right out of the gates like that. This is something that I’ve. I’ll say I I fought against a lot of what we’re going to talk about because I’m like the worst person to be transformed, and yet I’m in the business of transforming how people do things. It’s such a bizarre dichotomy of right for humans for the longest time, even when it comes to CEO and things that we do like I’ve often when I first came to my company, I was hired as an evangelist.

And so they said, like, you’re going to create content. I’m already writing blogs. I was writing post.com. I was doing all sorts of stuff. And they said we we need to do some SEO. And on on the blogs you write and I and I, I was resistant early and I said, I am the CEO. Like, I’m writing about stuff that I’m specifically solving. It’s not not necessarily meant to gather views. It’s actually meant to solve a bloody problem.

So I was a bit sort of I was that adversarial teko that just didn’t want to give in to the fact that Google doesn’t find me as attractive as my peer group does and if I don’t want to do, is really weird at first.

But that’s that that is I mean, you asked me for my bio. That story is basically my bio. And so, I mean, just a quick run down. Like I mentioned, I’ve been in the space for ninety nine, two thousand. I went to Georgia Tech for computer science usability theory. I was designing ad servers and early search engines like text search. During that time, I started at a company called Knowledge Storm. We’re based in Alpharetta, Georgia, which you’re very familiar with.

And I lived in Atlanta until only about five years ago. I now live in coastal Georgia, South SSN and on an island off the coast of Georgia, which is pretty awesome. And I worked at a company called Knowledge Store for seven years. And we were the first people really getting to be tech companies to buy in. That content can turn into leads. As shocking as sounds, content can lead to lead. And so we were getting like IBM to syndicate their white papers.

We were getting companies that had white paper brochure where to actually get them online to get product descriptions online. And, you know, it was before there was even content marketing departments at these major, major entities. And it was it was an amazing time. Right. And we were generating millions of literally millions of leads per month and selling them one to one. We were acquired by Tech Target in twenty seven where I stayed on as their in-house. So I guess if I stayed on for almost eight years as their in-house guru, that team dramatically when I was there, grew that network amazingly.

I mean, we more than quintupled the traffic across all the two hundred plus sites that they have under management. But the the story you told is the story. So when I was that knowledge storm, I didn’t have editors, I didn’t have writers. I was syndicated on content and we were doing some abstract abstract writing and things like that. But then at Target, over two hundred great subject matter experts on staff, a thousand content contributors, I think we even talked about.

I think you have a credit or two as a as a as a contributor to the to there. And what I learned really quickly was that I had a lot of the knowledge of what needed to be done and the strategic side and the product side. But getting my data into people like yours hands is harder than it seems because it’s that adversarial. Don’t tell me what to do. I’m the subject matter expert and that’s why what I’ll talk about now is it’s the golden age for that situation, because no one is more valuable right now than great writers that are subject matter experts.

But basically my journey at Target was here’s a list of words. Go do this. Shut up. Go back into your hole. OK, I’m going to try a different version. I’m going to try a different way of saying this. Then here are some more data that supports it. I’m still a little bit hesitant to getting to these manual processes that were they were painful. I mean, it would take me thirty hours to do one to build one topic model that would pass muster with an editorial lead that basically said if we were if we’re experts and we cover this topic comprehensively, here’s the stuff we need to cover.

That was my manual approach based. Right. It would take 30 hours and all the content inventories, one per year per site be right. And an audit. And then no one even agreed on the findings at the end because that’s subjectivity. And so I had this vision that all of these manual processes could be automated or semi automated. The research process, the prioritization, what should I create? What should I update? And then building content brief.

That could get me as the strategist and the writer or the editor on the same page, right. Here’s what’s expected. Here’s the meet’s minimum. You go nuts, cover all the stuff that makes you an expert on this. But here’s kind of the guardrails. And, wow, that was the marker. Right? And so I met my co-founder on the tail end of being a target, and he was starting to automate some of these things with artificial intelligence.

The first time I used it right, it my brain kind of exploded and I was like, oh, my gosh, this actually works this 30 hour process. You’ve got this down to four minutes. Right? And it was like and I quintupled a section of a site in and against a 20 post versus 20 post comparable. And it was five X performance performance and I was like, oh, gosh. So then I left and to go become co-founder and Marconi’s and is a little bit of a gap there.

But but the the story was this was the first kind of payload that I thought could be turned into information that writers would get excited about, because it really amplifies your subject matter expertize and it blocks against blind spots because you don’t know everything. Right. You know a lot. And so the story in 2008 was I’m talking to an editor and he’s like, what do you know about AM FM hard drives? Just you weren’t even born yet. When I’m like, I’m kind of old, but I’m not that old.

And he’s like, yo, I’ve been writing about this sense since the disks were this big, you know, and stuff like that and and so to. OK, cool man. Here’s a content plan that was built using technology. Your your pages are great, the pages Ukraine is great. Here’s four other articles that you could have written that would have supported your first piece. And here’s the structures of those pages that would tell the story that we truly are the experts.

And the light bulb went off. And that’s what we now do with three thousand plus companies, is have those types of discussions, it’s like and it’s everyone from and we have companies that pay half a million dollars a year to work with us. We have people that pay seventy nine dollars a month. We have solutions that go all the way up and down the pool, whether it’s a large publisher, a large B2B tech company or a solo partner who’s just trying to update five blog posts a month.

And there’s so many different workflows, which I know we’ll get into that we’ve tackled. But everything from what should I create, what should I update? How do I do internal linking where my blind spots how do I improve this page? Should I write something or just update all the questions? We answer them with our solution. And it’s like I, I’ve never been more excited with the product than I am today. I always joke around. It’s like, well, it does everything that I’ve always kind of said that it did finally is a magical feeling when that occurs.

But it’s. What I always find amazing, too, is like the stories of fantastic startups that are successful are always born of somebody that has a distinct and directly experienced problem, and they bring the beauty of anecdotal experience, the human experience and an understanding of technology in order to bring these things together and solve a problem that you’ve got, that you know, others have and then ultimately then market to other people who have the same problem. And it was funny when I talked about, like, my arrogance as a blogger, you know, which is just this an unfortunate thing that we we get hung up on early because we’re lucky more than we’re right.

That the algorithm generally found us and I mean like in the general blogger ecosystem, like it’s I can go carpet a bunch of content and it’ll probably get picked up. You put it in on social. But if I actually went back and really evaluated what I was doing, I was dabbling in syndication, dabbling in amplification, dabbling in the way that I wrote, and then what I did was actually I started at my company that that I taught. I teach my ex how to write.

Mm hmm. And just purely as like this is what has worked for me. And and so I said, let me just try this out. And I said it’s it’s actually formulaic. And this is when it clicked for me, because I would tell people like, it’s pretty simple. So the other day I had this problem and I realized that I was really going to get hung up on it. And so I wanted to get rid of this.

So let’s see exactly how I solved it. Now, as an industry, we faced this problem all the time. Let’s jump into why it’s a problem headline. OK, and and I and I went through and it’s like headline subheadings and I and I explained it. It’s stupidly formulaic how this thing works, but it’s storytelling.

You’re a storyteller. I was just about to say you’re in and I know I mean, I and I love storytelling. I listen to storytelling podcasts constantly. All of my favorite ones are, you know, I can go through a list. But what you really what you just described is storytelling. It’s the skill no one has and in this space. And that’s why you’re shooting and you’re shooting and rolling dice every time you pick an article. Right.

So what I then started to accept was like, well, what if I and this is where it really hit? I said, what if you gave me the subject first? And then I built the story towards it right in. And then I started to work with other folks and then I started looking in the ecosystem. I’m like, look, there’s a there’s a technology way to solve this problem. And my wife does stuff. She is affiliate marketing sites.

She’s got her own blog and she use these practices to take her own blog from like X thousand per month to tripling the the way that the inbound traffic by doing just what you talked about of like optimize stuff in line, check keywords. But the problem was it’s like you feel like the person with the NASA, like you got like eight monitors around you, you got papers, you got notes, you got sticky notes on your forehead, like you’re doing everything just to try and figure out like it works.

But holy heck, that’s a lot of process to wrap around it. Yeah. And then started to dabble into the product side and it didn’t take long before Market Muse shows up in the old search list because you’re like, oh dang, this thing, this is kind of what it is. That’s why. I’ll say every blogger, every content creator. You got to look at you’re already doing this stuff. Let’s let’s do better stuff and like, you know, then also tell you and I thought this is way more of me talking than nobody wants to hear, but I’ll give you this other funny story that made me just angry, like I was filled with this strange, bizarre rage, because I said, what if I just wrote one of these goofy BuzzFeed style articles just to see if it works?

And so I did. And so I wrote this article and I called it twenty three things that only 90 sysadmins would remember. And it was just like token ring control, it’s just a goofy sort of listicle and I put it out there and I put it on Hacker News and it had 15000 views. The date the first day I launched it. And I almost wanted to shut my blog down and go home like, oh, this is what I’m up against.

I just got I got beat to death by my own listicle and like but then again, it just lit up inside me. That’s not bad. Let’s exploit it. Like, let’s land somewhere in the middle. Between the BuzzFeed list goes, God bless the Bloods. I don’t mean to pick on them, but it’s like, you know, I between that and Outbrain, I make fun of them all the time of like like twenty three things like here’s the list, the system administration task that no security man wants to know, you know, like all these weird things show the abs secret that his trainer hates.

Yeah.

So content content is king. But it’s only given the thrown on the backs of CEO and process and search ability and discoverability. So let’s let’s talk about how that thing works, because people don’t know it’s a bit of a black art, but it’s that it’s it’s actually that you’re right. They both need to exist. The doing it without expertize doing it without the really real knowledge is super hard. It’s like tying your hands together and you’ve got to untie them before you even start working.

And so that you always have that advantage if you know, you always have advantage, if you have the nuanced view of these concepts when you are starting your content process. But the the biggest gap really is not knowing how much needs to be built. Right. And how much existing authority you have. It’s not how hard is it to perform for these topics. It’s how hard will it be for you? So you can go write that article, that amazing article.

And when you put it on your blog, it will do well. Let’s just say the whether it’s a listicle or not. Right. But if you go put that on a brand new blog, that’s first page. It won’t. And then knowing why that authoritativeness and how that works at the topic level, at the site, site, section subdomain, whatever the case may be level, that’s the that’s the truth. And so what we’ve done is we’ve identified how to measure that in a reasonable way to predict outcomes.

And the easiest way to do it, I call it content efficiency, is how many articles did you write or how many update motions, whether it’s an expansion or an optimization motion or just an update for currency. How many of those motions did you take last quarter? Let’s just say let’s like Q1. How many of those pages were successful? The average on that for recurring value, unfortunately, everybody will gasp is about 10 percent, it’s about 10 percent.

That means every 10 articles you write, only one of them is successful. It doesn’t have to be that way. We work with teams to get that number up to 40, 50 percent. Right. So they’re purposefully updating. And so that gives them the ability to get more budget, gives them the ability to actually have more predictive outcomes to say, oh, wow, I actually do have to write more or I can I can just go update a page and that’s enough for me to win on this topic.

But this other one, I need more foundational building so we can go anywhere in between on that and then get you to the last mile and execute. So like, literally we’re writing about token ring control. Well, if you’re an expert on token ring control, well, you would probably mention know protocols, write these four protocols in that content. And if you don’t, you’re not an expert. Right. I always use the example of if you were writing articles about content marketing strategy and you don’t mention target audiences or buyer personas, you’re not actually an expert.

You may be Nescio, but you’re not an expert. And so our technology will tell you what it means to be an expert on the topic, what are the concepts that need to be included. And it’s not a sort of descending search volume game, which is unfortunately what people do that fail over time. They’re just looking at chasing things that don’t matter, data points that don’t matter when it’s really about. How similar is what I’m building to that which a subject matter expert would build or how much better it is?

You don’t have to publish content that’s not as good as any one, any of your competitors. Every time you can publish content that’s better than them, every time you can publish content predictively and know what’s going to be successful with greater than 80 percent, 90 percent predictability. How much does that unlock? It makes people actually want to work. It makes people actually care about this stuff. So they’re not just throwing dice, because if you are estimating traffic using, say, search volume.

Right. Or you’re estimating how much traffic you’re going to get, go back to all the last five times you did that and see how accurate your predictions were. I can guarantee you were less than 50 percent accurate. You might as well flip a coin that I mean, and that’s that’s been in the market like that’s been the thing that people like stick to in the market for so long. They use Google AdWords, keyword planner, and that’s it.

And it’s like you aren’t predicting accurately if you’re not predict accurately, how useful is that?

And that you’ll be as lucky as if you if you just take a chicken and put it on top of a checkerboard filled with keywords.

So true. I mean, it just it just feels good, right? So that’s the thing that I have a post on on market music says why using term frequency or search volume is an illusion. And one is it makes you feel good if it makes you feel like you’re using data away. An expert would, but it’s it’s not actually providing any real value. It’s a directional value, like it’ll keep you from driving off the cliff. Right. But it’s not making you a race car driver, right?

Yeah. That’s literally whether there’s other solutions that basically just keep you from driving off the cliff. And I’m like, I want you to be a race car driver. Not I’m not just trying to keep it so you don’t know that.

So, yeah. And like I say, this is the thing of it. It’s the difference between being lucky and being effective. And you can be lucky. And as as if you’re a consistent content creator, you get more lucky than most people because you’re just creating enough content that you will get, you know, hey, look, you’ll you’ll be a great bench, not even a benchwarmer. You’ll be a great journeyman hitter. You know, you’ll have an average like a a good baseball player that will make a good living.

But do you want to do that or you want to be Barry Bonds? Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. And you’ve nailed it. That is such a great analogy. I’m totally stealing it because. Yeah, you can’t by being an expert who knows your craft and writes prolifically, you can be you can be a twenty two hitter and you are probably good in the field. So you’ve got a starting job, you know, but you will not get to that elite zone. And especially given today’s competitive landscape, I mean, you’ve got to know your competitors.

Some of them can get away with murder because they’re on the highest end of authority and they are doing things you can’t do. And unless you know that they always say, don’t copy your idols, right. Don’t copy your idols in content right now, you will die a slow or super fast death. And that’s I always joke around about that because because like the major large enterprise publishers or tech companies, they get a pass on a lot of the stuff that you have to do.

And you look at them and you’re like, oh, well, they did that. I’m smarter than them, so I’ll just do it too. No, no, no. Doesn’t work that way. So if you if you’re the advice you’re getting is look at the number one ranking page and go do a better job than them. It’s hogwash. Doesn’t work in practice. You might as well again roll dice, but this time you’re rolling dice where if you roll a one or two you’re dying instead of just not writing a successful article if you’re copying.

Right.

So and this is the the the sort of interesting problem that people don’t get to is that creating bad content. Is actually punitive, like I didn’t even know this until recently, they and so, like much too much content can actually cause you to get ranked because it looks like people still always. And so it will it will affect other things on the study.

And overall, you know the way to think about it, right? Yeah. So it can be it can be just. The cost of bad content, there’s a lot of cost, and that’s why when I was asked somebody, I know how uphill my climb is going to be, so how much does their content cost per page? And if their number is about one hundred two hundred three hundred bucks. Right. They aren’t thinking about the true cost of unsuccessful content.

So let’s just use the efficiency number. Right. Let’s say you pay an outsourced firm, one hundred fifty bucks per page that you write. Let’s say only one out of 10 of those articles are successful. OK, right there. It’s fifteen hundred bucks for a page of successful content because we’re already 10 next. All right. And now let’s say you have the you had the ability, if you had invested that money wisely, to have knocked out four instead of one article that’s successful.

How much upside value would that have led to? Let’s say, you know, your value, you your R.P.M. revenue per thousand page views, you know your lead value. Well, the opportunity cost of bad content is ten times that. So the real cost of bad content is, you know, ten thousand dollars per page, OK? And no one’s doing that math they’re doing. Oh, well, I can go get a draft written on X, Y, Z Writing Network for one hundred bucks.

Oh, you’re not counting your time. Review time. Update time. That’s the easy way to calculate the true cost of content. But the other two metrics, unsuccessful content and now opportunity cost. You could have written the best article on the topic you should be writing on to move the needle the most in that time frame. But instead you wrote these ten mediocre articles for one hundred fifty bucks a pop and then you sat down, goes, why did only one of those work?

That’s the real math that I tried to evangelize, talking about being an evangelist. That’s the thing that I’m trying to get people to think through is the ten articles they wrote last month didn’t do well. Why? They’re probably OK. They’re probably good, but they weren’t strategic. Right. And why? You know, I’ve got to answer the why I’m in the why is if I can if I can tell you the lie, the next time you’ll put out five articles that crush it, then you’re like, whoa, I have underestimated the true cost of bad content.

Then on the negative side of you, building mass quantity of low quality or thin content, the negative impacts can be significant. And I’m not so much like a penalty. It’s just if you are not consistently authoritative on a topic on that section of the site at which you’re publishing, one out of ten is good, two out of twenty or good, you don’t you’re not going to gather that power. And that is something that no one can measure except us.

And that’s so we can actually show you that breadth, the depth, the quality, the comprehensiveness. How consistently do you generate momentum on these topics? Right. And those metrics that’s our proprietary are the closest thing to predictability of outcomes. And if you’re not thinking about that or your publishing in mass, you better be. A three letter publisher or better be like Amazon or someone like that to get away with that because you’re not going to get away with it on your blog.

It will catch you. It may not catch you today. I always joke around that there’s there’s things you can do to manipulate your on page to free stuff. And you’ll go like this very soon. And then you’re on the top of the wave. You’re like, this is great. This is great. I’ve manipulated I’ve fooled the system crash. And that only works if you’re an affiliate and you can just go throw away that site and start something new.

That one down and start again.

If you’re a business, it doesn’t work. So you do not want to wipe out with your entire business because you won’t have a job if you’re a founder, but your company won’t have a source of traffic. But if you work for a business and you’re advocating short term risky content tricks that are being taught by affiliate marketers, yet you’re in trouble. I mean, and I see it I mean, we we have people that cry on our proverbial, you know, covid shoulders, which means over you.

They come all the time. They come in there like I was listening to X, Y, Z or X, Y, Z, and this is how they said to do it. So I did it. And we launched two hundred articles last quarter. Why did we all of a sudden crash? And I’m like, I think we got I think we got caught up in this Google you how many times I hear that. But I got penalized by Google.

I’m like, look in the mirror, you know, penalized by yourself. And you got penalized by listening to advice from someone who could just pick up their stuff and go to another site. And you couldn’t. That’s the reality, they don’t care if those sites don’t have long term value, they’re like it’s like the aggro you’re hitting the, you know, your drag race like you’re actually right and you know, lemons.

Yeah. This is the so there’s a neat merger of these things. And I I’ve become acutely aware of all of them, you know, because I’ve like any good nerdy technologists, I have more side gigs than than a main gig. But it’s it’s in dabbling with that. I’ve learned the hard way on some of these things. Like you said, even though I got a I’m like, let’s try affiliate. So I Lilya found a domain. I used to do this all the time.

I, I own a disturbing amount of domain. So by maybe I need to go. I see a domain, I like the and the guy that goes through it looks for like high traffic about to expire meaning neat name, pick it up for two bucks, you know, for seven bucks. It costs me four more for the transaction than does for the domain. And I look and then I say, OK, what inbound is this getting? I create a couple of articles.

So I did this one right. I was like, OK, this is an area where I’m doing stuff. I packed up some affiliate stuff and it works. I got some traffic for a while and then I did exactly what you just said and I let it slide and now it I just buried any domain authority that that working domain had because I didn’t keep throwing content at it and I knew I was I kind of knew I was doing it. So I I’m a bad person because my wife was disappointed and she’s like, you know, I you I told you what to do to fix this thing.

And, you know, I didn’t keep going on it. But the the neat thing was in doing that, I’ve got I have a coffee site, you know, and as you can see by the my diabolical coffee, you know, and I, I said, OK, I’ve done this thing. I know the market is good for this. And so I’ve actually and it’s worked like I soon as I launch it, I’ve actually got people buying stuff which is fantastic.

But the first thing I think is like, I’m not going to make this mistake now. I’m actually going to aggressively market towards it, you know, do the right things consistently. And this is, you know, again, like I said, and then all of a sudden here I am. I look through my guest list and I see Mark using like, all right, this is the good stuff because. We need help. We all need help on this stuff, and we.

It takes a long time to convince people, and so this is the only thing software’s particularly good at a lot of things. I’m in the business of convincing people to use software instead of themselves. And it’s a tough battle because we are we’re a weird bunch as humans. So, Jeff, what’s the like? What are we kind of talked a bit about some of the objections and some of the challenges that you have. Like when when does it kick in for people that they say?

Right, I’m not even you’re right that that’s right, this thing is working, and now they make it central to the system more than trying to fit it in.

Yeah, I think that there’s a couple of workflows where I think it really creates that that aha moment. And it depends on who they what their role is. But from a writer perspective, it’s the first time you’re able to get advice to, for example, on something that you really know. And you get advice that you would have forgotten it. What I’ll say is the most mature workflow that we service is that updating content or checking to see if it’s comprehensive.

Five years ago, totally immature and everybody was, like, violently opposed to it. But then you had things like grandma, really. Then you had things like Hemingway. And people are getting used to getting adjustments while they write and getting the feedback. Now, where this subject matter expert checker effectively, are you an expert and is are you exhibiting that expertize so that feeling that this is oh, it’s just another grandmotherly like piece of feedback. I can actually scan my page and see where I’ve got a nice healthy topic.

Coverage or fluff. Oh, this paragraph’s complete fluff. Maybe I don’t need it. Right. And then you go up one level, the first time you’re able to do a competitive analysis, a head to head gap analysis and say, all right, Eriks, the smartest person in the world about Tolkan rings. And I looked at his article, but I didn’t just read it and try to emulate his narrative. I actually could X-ray it and say, here’s the concepts that Eric included.

He talked about these things. I need to make sure that I at least talk about those things in my own tone, voice and structure. And then the third is where I actually look at everyone, all in one view and say, what’s the meet’s minimum? What’s the table stakes for this topic? I have to cover these things. What are the things that are on my intent? Like when I say intention’s, someone is searching for a thing.

I’m answering that. I’m giving you that need. So what is that thing on intent? What are the other intents that I need to consider? Maybe not for this page, but for this cluster of content? Once you start to get that feedback and it takes a minute or two minutes and it would have taken 20 hours as a writer, you’re like, oh, wow, why would I ever do this manually? I mean, that’s the AHA.

As a strategist, it’s when you get prioritization, support that supports your subjectivity, by the way, the first thing it’s subject. The other part of it is objectivity. So to say. I actually have a way to quantify. Objectively quantify quality and comprehensiveness, and I used to just have subjectivity, and that’s that’s the big change from an editor perspective, from a writer perspective, as a writer. I get the last point as a writer is I can be on the same page with the person that ordered the content, hey, at least give me two thousand words about this topic.

Here’s the general structure. I’m not going to give them something. And they’re like, no, you completely missed the boat. I’m at least going to be in the ballpark right then. I know that on the artist, on the expert knocking out. So all those things are what everyone that works with market views gets. Right. And then the the the privatization part is the part that’s really the devilish part. I mean, that’s the part that I get pumped about every day.

I mean, and it gets I mean, it’s so cool. And where I can look at my and I have an on demand content inventory. And an on demand content audit on demand topic, so I can say. Hey, Eric, Eric wants me to tell him what article he should write today have the biggest impact on his website. I literally pressed four buttons and I’ve got a list of 20, 30 concepts that if Eric went out and wrote a great article about using his expertize and the end, the outline structure, general outline.

He will be successful, and I can say that with confidence, OK, versus I don’t know or let me go look at this keyword list. Right, but I’m actually your strong and token ring, so go right about X, Y, Z and has semantic relatedness. You have existing authority. You have a gap in some previous pieces. Make sure you link them and intertwine them. When you do write this piece, go write this and have that content confidence.

And I know I’ve got an outsized advantage or I know that if I just update this page and make it better, it’s going to win. Those days are now. That’s what the good people do in this space. And if you’re not doing it or you’re just doing it based on search volume, you’re getting your tail whipped every day and you don’t even realize it. You don’t even realize it. And so that’s really the way that, you know, that’s what gets me out of bed in the morning, because I see people have that aha moment and they’re like, I updated this page and I immediately saw the benefit.

I’m like, I know a good thing about this, you know? And it’s because you’re an expert, you know, it’s because you’re good at it. It’s because you have a writer that knows how to write. It’s that storytelling component. It’s the story does check out that you are an expert because you have this collection of content. If I’m going to cover, you know, network optimization, right. I’m going to likely have content about 90 different concepts.

If I don’t, I’m not the expert. And if anyone tells you otherwise that you can go write one long form article, go pummel it with links. With no support, with no support, I have a bridge they can buy because you know what that does, that gets you short term potential when that’s the Jolt Cola of content. Right. I want you on the smoothie or the really good coffee diet right now.

The this is where it’s a neat thing, too, because there’s so many things that come into the market. And I think one of the biggest. I said, look, I’m going to talk up your product more than anybody else, you know, I won’t make you talk it up because I can look at each thing you just talked about. Being in one spot is incredible because I know there are tools that do, you know, keyword research tools that do something about existing, you know, tuning some of your flow and your art.

There’s tools that do, you know, looking for questions and answers and trying to find, you know, question content that will help you. There are two. But what have I just done? I got a toolbox full of tools at, you know, forty eight bucks a month per tool plus, you know, limits on things. And so you and then I’m the human glue. It’s going to pull it all together and then I get even.

I’m both excited and frustrated when she comes along. And you could go in and you could just like I was amazed by, like I’ve been following the opening stuff since it was started. And when I saw GP2, I’m like, all right, let’s test this bad boy out. Then I did a bunch of really, really well testing. I’ve been working and LPI and I for quite a while doing different stuff. I do it for analysis, actually, for like sentiment analysis, for certain things, because I actually wrote a little app that helps people for mentoring and coaching and they just write daily logs and I get them to say, hey, here’s you know, here’s what I say.

You know this my day starting today. I had a good day of a meeting, Jeff, for a podcast. So I’m excited about that. And then I like on a little slider. How do you feel? How do you feel today? And then I run an LP and sentiment analysis against it to see if you’re lying to yourself. Right. It’s actually kind of neat to see the measurements over time, how people and I can tell when they’re having a bad day.

It’s kind of weird. Yeah. So then two comes along and I can be the reverse. I can write the bloody morning notes for myself and then three came along. And of course that is like the the world could come to an end. And Ellen says we have to stop A.I. before it takes over, like and we see how these sort of like end of the world things. And I actually read your article where you compare your own platform and you very honestly talk about the effectiveness of three.

And I’d actually love to unpack that for folks here. You know, if you don’t mind, just because you’re in the space and you do the stuff now you get three is one of the most amazing things that exists right now. And there’s people launching products in using GPG three, but they aren’t creators, right. They’re app users against DVD three. They’re getting prompts or they have a reseller agreement. They’re creating user interfaces and interactions. But GBG three is three.

It’s a thing and it’s owned by a Open I and Microsoft. About four years ago, five years ago now, we got inspired to start to build in natural language generation and I see I don’t really talk about this too much, but for you, I’ll get into it. I see three main core use cases outside of some of the short form content that’s being touted as the big implementations. But from a usability perspective, you really have Bulc content, right?

You have I’m I have to write 20 thousand articles about this that have this structure. And that is like the Arias, the automated insights, the narrative science. They’ve been trying to do that for financial sites. Washington Post famously launched Helio Grauwe, which is their internal NLG. It uses templates, OK, but with three, it is a language model and we built our own competitor of GPG three and it is focused specifically on expertize. So it built being an expert on a topic, not a general model, that then you can ask a question and it can give you really readable content.

We want it to provide expert content. And so when you looked at the Guardian article, for example, or if you look at some of these structures and I’ll tell you how people are getting around it so openly, I’ll only give you short form prompts. So people are like stacking up multiple prompts and they’re trying to weave together. That’s right.

Gluing together as a total narrative.

There’s a problem there and I will let them go play that game if there’s a short term memory, long term memory concept. But there’s degradation in the analogy. Analogy is a tricky science, right. And good for Google’s language models, six x three right now, their internal model and GBG for whenever it comes out, it’ll probably like tomorrow. As I say, it will be even better. But it’s not tuned specifically for this use case. And what we’re focused on is I want to bring right now all of this.

None of them really will consistently pass muster with the subject matter expert. Yet GBG three reading like, oh, this isn’t true, this is questionable. This is real language. But what I use this, you know, or if you try to publish Cold GBG three content as blog content, you’re going to probably cause some problems. I don’t want to get into all of those problems. It’s it’s like Plato. You have to form it into what it looks like on the box.

Still, you get it to go. Can it be inspirational? Absolutely. I mean, can it get you going. Yeah. Can it give you general structures? Yeah. It’s wonderful what I’m trying to do, the kind of the next version. The next thing. That’s why we call it Markram. Use first draft. I want to give you the first draft that fits within the guidelines of your outline of your brief, for example, and.

Our version now is amazing, but the next version is even more and then because these language models, they just get better and better. So people are looking and they get a first draft. They’re like, oh, well, this still took me two hours to edit. I’m like there. I actually I’m a terrible writer. Right. It’s funny. I’ve been doing this. I just I, I’m like, you know, I you know, I overanalyze it.

I, I, I look at a word. I’m like, there’s something wrong with this. I just get into it. I wrote the first post that I wrote instead of it just being an interview because I can talk as you know. So typically the way that I get stuff out is my content strategists will interview me, get all the energy out of my brain, and then he will craft it because he’s a beautiful storyteller. But I actually wrote a three thousand word article the other day and it took me almost four hours, which for me it’s four hours or I’m not going to do it right.

And I got it done. And I actually did it. And I’m like, oh my gosh, this works. And I’m like, but it’s still it’s still four hours. So some people who can knock out a post in an hour might go, oh, is this really giving me much benefit? Well, it’s all going to catch up. Our next versions are going to be right ahead, our next versions are going to be composed modals, our next versions are going to be validating the outline and get a draft quickly.

Right. So we’re going to be getting to the point where various interactions that you’re familiar with, not just getting payload people judge payload. And it sounds a little esoteric when I say it that way. But when you read that Guardian article, right, you read it and you’re like. I judged it, is it good or is it bad we those weird people you’re talking about the humans, we read stuff and we judge it, right? That doesn’t help you write.

What you need to do is understand how it could help you get to that finished piece and measure the value of that. It’s just like someone doing the keyword research for you. It’s just like me predicting what you should write more well than you would have done subjectively. It’s did me having this draft make it so that I saved 30 to 30 minutes an hour, two hours. Did it make it so that I didn’t write an unsuccessful article and I might have write?

That’s the cost benefit analysis for right now the world is looking at it wrong, sadly still, because they’re like, I want this to write for me, OK? Not the goal yet. Right, because because because the downside of a bad content item and the impact, what happens if you do this and you and you let it run wild and you crash and burn?

It’s a big difference in same week we have this and this is the thing where it also becomes the problem of even the discussion of these platforms and products being used it like, oh, so, you know, so it’s great. I got me at market use. I get first draft. Is it going to replace me? Like, no, no, no, no, no. Like, look, I’m a I’m a content creator, right? When I when I can be and it requires inspiration, focus, you know, certain things.

So look, if someone tells me I need a data sheet, a two pager that tells the story. I can either created from scratch, which will take me about three days, or I can take an old one. Poppy, it is a just do some nuancing. And then what I’ve learned by doing stuff like it’s like, OK, so I can carve whatever in first draft, it gives me the narrative flow that I’m after. You’ve given it the right information to start with.

I can then go in and put my voice on it and I’ve learned like. So this is always the funny thing, too. I think as a content creator, I used to make fun of you. Like I the CTO over at Company X is a really good writer. I’m like, no, I’m a really good writer because I wrote that, I wrote the Quito’s don’t have time to write great articles. They Arktos. But I used to be a there’s many an article out there with someone else’s name on it in my content in there because I was their first draft.

Yeah. Like here’s what I write, you put it out there and so this is for me now. I need a first draft because I don’t have time to do this. I’ve got too many things going on, but I still need to create content. And so what do I do? I’m lost in logistics and I, I haven’t written an article in weeks.

Yep. Yeah. I mean, you’re nailed. You nailed it. And I have the luxury of having one of the most amazing content strategists and multiple great writers on staff who know this game. So when I look at a market news, my market abuse inventory, I said, Hey, Steven, Steven Jaeschke, by the way, go look him up. He’s awesome. He Hey, Steven, we wrote this great article about how to get a Google knowledge panel.

Well, Market News just told me these four other support articles that if we wrote them, they would be successful. His response, I’ll put it in the queue, Jeff. I don’t know. I mean, not like that. But, you know, it goes in the backlog, right? It’s because I that’s that’s an I’ll say, you know, hey, I think a great post with this. This would be from my expert lens. Right.

Because I think it’s something that would be exciting. Right. That’s not going to come out of market news, right? Yeah, I just know, but. We will go check that brief, filed a brief with market and check it, make sure that it’s going to be successful because I can go take any word. And check my existing authority, my competitive advantage, my personalized difficulty and go, oh, I shouldn’t write an article about that because I would need to write 20 to get an impact.

This other one, I write one and I have that impact. Oh, my gosh. Imagine having that skill. Imagine being able to know whether I’ve got to write one or one and how much impact I just did. I just delivered a plan for a client. And before that we said, hey, you either you have two product lines, I won’t say what they are. You’ll get the company to product line technology company. One is less sexy, but you have more authority this this year you need to write about 60 posts on these topics in order to be successful.

And they said, oh, OK. The other one, it’s more sexy. You have no authority and it’s super competitive. You need to write about two hundred and forty posts. Yet they defunded the other product line and invested completely in the one that 60 because they’re like a maybe if things get better this year because last year was tough, we’ll go back and we’ll build that big mass of stuff that you told us we had to build. They knocked out the first ten articles already, double traffic to that section.

So they’re loving us, right, but I mean, this is about business decisions, too, because if I told you, hey, don’t write any more stuff about VMware, you just you’re climbing the climb on the hill. Right? Know, I already read it. All right. But no, you you go into this mode knowing how successful you’re going to be. Right. And that that’s the difference maker. It’s not, you know, not climbing a hill that you’re not going to finish.

Getting to the top, you’re going to stop in the middle and go off and on and on. And here’s the thing, and this is when I implore the bloggers out there who love what they do because they are born into the ecosystem and they don’t want to become the business of blogging. And I tell them all the time, why wouldn’t you want to do that? You can still do the thing. Look, I can be Barry Bonds and I can still go out and play tee ball with my kids.

It doesn’t mean you can’t do what you love. At the same time, so if I wanted to write articles that are going to get me authority, that are going to build revenue, that are going to give me a personal brand, that’s much more far reaching. But I also wanted to say I need to write a bunch of articles about Fiamma because I really dig it. I know I’m not necessarily going to go by like they did a new release.

Like I can carve one of those out because it’s easy and I’m passionate about a second car of one of those out fast. But then I’m not doing 10 of those expecting it to be. Breeding authority and creating brand anymore, but then I can do I it’s like I always tell people this is that I get yelled at all the time. We’re all in marketing and we’re all in sales. And people get really upset by that for some reason. And I’m like, look, I’m the same I’m the same way.

You don’t want to necessarily accept it, but we have to think about what’s next now and when it comes to content. Don’t just rely on being lucky, because guess what, that’s the other two people that were bloggers in the aisle say like the tech target years, like there’s a real hayday of there is folks that are on Ubben. There’s a bunch of different companies that were in that space. You know, it was the birth of stack overflow like it was everything was new.

People were in the VMware forums. We were that was where life occurred for these ecosystems. They were they built future bloggers through these platforms. But that is no different by thinking we can repeat that than it is by wearing your high school football jacket at forty eight and thinking it makes you athletic.

I mean, I love that analogy too. I mean, I’m not going to roll up here with my, with my, my letterman’s jacket and you know, but and it’s kind of like I laugh. What is the man. Jeff, you’ve been doing this since before. It was a thing. I’m like, yeah, but it’s not I’m not doing the same the same stuff. I am still advocating for content quality and I’ve been doing that for a very long time.

And this is now those people. It’s their ideal scenario. They didn’t have to do monster pivot’s when content quality came to be cool because they were already doing it. It had you know, they had to do a few things that change changes their behavior. And, you know, there’s a lot of things and technical and that’s very important, very, extremely important site structures. Now in May, core Web vitals, which is your site’s performance. And that’s going to have a major impact.

You know, but the proof is I mean, there’s a lot that authoritativeness and understanding how that works can give you you can get away with a lot more if you’ve got beautiful content and it makes it so that you’re slightly slow site doesn’t get bombed when stuff happens, which stuff always inevitably happens. But if you think you can get away with a two thousand eighteen, I’m not saying twenty two thousand eighteen publishing model. Over time, your lunch will be eaten by some of these publishers that are machines, and I’m not just talking about my customers, right?

I’m talking about there are a couple who aren’t my customers, which I wish they weren’t because they’re wonderful, that they’ve built their own internal machines and. I am lucky I get to go talk to them and they’re friends of mine and I watch their stuff work and I’m just like, oh my gosh, like market music would make you even more of a deadly weapon. And they’re like, yeah, but we spent ten million dollars on this thing. Like, they’re just going to use it.

And I’m like, yeah, but for like one more million dollars, you can go implement this across your targ. And they’re like, now we spent the summer, but these folks are doing I mean, they have nine D Barry Bonds. Yeah. I mean it literally is that and you’re joking around. And I look at some of these writers hit rates. I mean, 75, 80 percent hit rates on their content. And I’m just like, oh, it’s you get it that’s real.

You can have that today. And and. They the really the biggest thing holding up writers and editors and strategists is just the belief that they don’t have to have that level of predictability and that it is chance and and inertia like or like. I hear this all the time. You don’t understand our industry. You can’t know my stuff. Right. I’m like, now I’ve written about nitrile gloves. I’ve written about ball bearings for trains. I’ve written about, you know, online gambling for bingo and dogs.

I mean I mean, you name it, I’ve it doesn’t matter. The concept doesn’t matter. I mean, like the most esoteric subsection of construction management software, like, I mean, Yorn City. But, hey, there are experts in that. Right. Unless it’s truly something that no one has ever done ever in this whole world, like you created a new branch of science that no one else does like. OK, yeah, it’s all about you.

Unless other than that, it’s empathy. You’ve got to know the customer and you’ve got another buyer journey.

Yeah. OK, so this is the neat thing. And no one you hit on a huge thing. Right, forget about. The industry you’re in. What about the industry you’re adjacent to, could you take the practices you do today and move them to another industry when it’s market use and what you’re talking about? It’s yes, when it’s me, I used to joke I would go to a hotel and I’d be doing like, you know, I’d be there for some user group event and I’d walk in and you’d see the placard, you know, for some other thing.

And it was like the you know, the blood workers, you know, North-Eastern blood worker, collection associates, you know, whatever. Something going on. User group. And and like there’s some person in that room talking about platelet counts and and these people are fantastically enjoying this experience. I’m chuckling from the outside going, you know, there’s an accounting firm and they’re like sitting there joking over drinks, going. And then this idiot fills out a teepee, 294, like, what does he think he’s doing?

So I’m laughing at them the same way that they laugh at me when I talk about whatever I talk about. But I have a huge respect for the fact that I know that what what you’re talking about is creating a process, formulas, systems that we know work across whatever the industry is. And if you get out of your head as a human long enough to say, hey, look, when Ray D’Alessio wrote principles and he talked about using algorithms to make decisions alongside humans that ultimately could free up the humans to do better things with those decisions.

Right. People got angry because they didn’t want to be replaced by the algorithm and I’m like, you’re not being replaced by the algorithm, you’re doing something more goddamn meaningful because. Do you want to Do you really want to be known as the person that did the the decision or do you want to be the person that changed a life because you weren’t sitting in there looking at charts and graphs, trying to find the ideal time to trade a stock?

Yeah, now that I mean. That’s right. I mean, that’s the whole the whole not nuts and bolts of the thing is that you can become a superhero. You can have superhuman abilities by embracing this stuff, does it hurt? Does it hurt a class of person? Yes, so does factory automation. So does, in this case, writing to the market for low quality content across the network. The bar just got raised, and I am happy about that, because you you will not be there will not be an active, successful market for low quality content in, you know, 12 months.

And that is the market that disappears. That’s it. Everything else. Levels up.

And so I tell people all the time and I tell to tell myself. I became we’re very awakened to the value of this when it’s and when you realize when you put skin in the game, you buy a site, you build a blog, you do something where you’re like paying money for it. Like I use an email app called Super Human Funny called Super Human Drama. And I pay 30 bucks a month for this email. And people like Eric, you’re an idiot.

Why would you pay money for an email app? I’m like, because I know I’m paying thirty dollars a month. So every day I use it like it tells me it should be used. I go into my email three times a day. I action every single email in the course of five minutes. Mm hmm. How many times do you open your email app and bury yourself into, to do lists and write stuff down. And so to help you even look, the solves my problem.

I’m willing to pay for it, and as a result, it makes me think hard about my behavior because I know that I’m invested in the outcome and this is when I look, you know, like I said, Mark abused another great example. Why would I take it on? Easy, because I know I’ve got I’m paying for these websites and paying for brand authority, I’m doing all this other stuff, I’m putting out press releases, I’m doing all these things if you’re doing it, to get back to your site where you’re hoping that moderately hard call to action is going to generate revenue for you.

Right. I care a hell of a lot about making sure that the right people find it. Yes. And this is the way to get them there.

It’s fun, too. I got it. It’s so good fun when you write it and you feel like it represents your expertize and you knock it out. I mean, I was joking around about the one article that I knocked out this year, this year. And that wasn’t just on an interview, but watching that one, the number one and organic search for it’s extremely competitive topic like and watching it, I’m like, hey, that’s awesome. That draft was created with artificial intelligence.

I mean, and I added and I modified a great deal of it. But if it what if it hadn’t if the Play Doh hadn’t been built there, I never would have knocked that out. And now I’m number one. I’m not saying that’s going to happen every time, but Marchetti’s told me that I had a great shot at it. If I wrote something great and I did, I wrote something great. And that’s I mean, that’s one example.

But I mean, we have people writing thousands of articles a month with our content briefs and things like that. And they’re having that experience more often. And it does. It gets the teams aligned. It does. It just does. If you don’t believe it, your SEO team gives you a recommendation. The content strategists, the writers, they all actually are on the same page. You knock out the page and it’s successful. When’s the last time you had that group remote hug?

You know, hey, this this actually worked. I mean, and that it is empowering. It really is. I mean, and and it does change themes. And if you think about it or silos, if any of the objections people would have is no different than even a simple like I’m an amateur athlete and I’ll say what I ever say. No, I don’t want a personal trainer. I want to do it on my own. OK, so get a personal trainer.

And a personal trainer says what we should do is we should do like blood testing and check for lactic acid. You’re like, nah, I don’t want to use the numbers. I want to just be anecdotal on how and how it works. No, no, you’re not going to you’re not going to go to the next level if you’re if you’re writing sheerly for the love of writing and that’s a good idea. That’s fantastic. Except you’ll be lucky and it may work out, but whatever it is, I just help people get on the program.

I mean, the to do for anyone listening to this is how lucky are you today. Go do that math. Get your content efficiency rate. Send me a note, I’ll calculate it for you. Trust me. I mean, I do this all the time. I show people how to do a five minute audit. I show people how to do a quick content efficiency rate for themselves. It’s clear the mirror, you know, because you might because then you start hearing the excuses.

Oh, well, that’s a lot of old stuff. I need to delete that anyway. I’m like my no, first of all, don’t delete. Yeah, let let’s talk about that. But do you get to the excuses and but truly, how much content did you create in, let’s say, Q1 or last year and how much of it was successful and put that number on the wall, put that percentage number on the wall and whatever that number is doing, inversion over one hundred percent and then multiply your average cost of content.

That’s your true cost of content and not even an opportunity cost and do that exercise, it’s worth five minutes, trust me, and you’ll go, boy, oh boy, I got I got a problem. I didn’t know I had need to talk to somebody.

So but in the other case, too, is where you’re starting from zero. You know, I’m actually advising a startup and we literally, you know, brand new, you know, we’re using a dot io domain because there’s a dot com already out there. So I’m fighting uphill. But I know it’s a battle that I can win if I use the right tools in the right processes. And then then this.

Yeah, brand new sites are tough, but it’s it’s it’s aspirational. What do we want to own? And then it’s competitive cohort analysis. So we actually are looking at the closest equivalency sites on topics or semantically related topics, how much content that they create, how much content do they update, what’s their off page dynamic? So publishing kadence update, kadence link velocity, how am I how many how much on page value are they acquiring? At what rate.

And now I do that for many sites. Yeah. And now I know. Hey if I go right one hundred thirty five articles in the first quarter and I also have this much marketing dollars brand marketing this much then I can say I can be confident that I’m going to have this much recurring traffic in month eight. Right. That’s what I’m trying to enable to. It’s just another use case. So yeah, I mean it all is possible with these branches of natural language processing, so.

So how do people get started, because I want them in there and I say this like I, I maybe I may be fawning over it a little bit and I can truly say this is this is Miss. I chose to be really excited about this and market muse’s. I’ve read. I studied. I know what’s going on. I’ve seen other products that are out there and I’ve dabbled with a lot of them. And so I say this and I also say it, knowing that I’m literally not incented to say it at this point where we are just we just stumbled upon each other here, you know, and it’s just funny when it all comes together.

So very certainly this is no paid endorsement. This is me. I know the bloody market and I know what what can work. And so how do I get people in to learn more?

Jeff, you know, the two main product lines are separated starting April 1st. We have some different packaging. One is the do it yourself applications. So optimizing existing content, identifying good internal link structures, competitive analysis, research. And that’s one level you can go to the site and buy self-service product led growth focused, offering mass market use standard. If you want the strategic side where there is a content inventory, you want to see your existing content, your strengths and weaknesses, your personalized metrics for difficulty.

If you want that metric for topic authority, that’s our market means premium offering. Give us a buzz, fill out a form and we will sync up with you because there’s a lot of possibilities and customization. You can bring your own wordless configure it in a hundred different ways, but we’ll tune it specifically for what you need and for your size of team. The self-service offering is limited and usage and users premium, offering unlimited users unlimited usage. It truly is a team focused collaborative offering and it keeps getting better and better.

But yeah, go to the website or shoot me a note, Jeff, at Market News.com. Or if you prefer to DM me on Twitter, I answer all those too. Just tell me kind of what you’re thinking and I can put your points. You put you in the right vehicle.

Basically, I thank you because I’m sure there’d be a lot more that I would have loved to dig in on general startup founding and also stuff it. But it’s like this this this topic I’m passionate about. And I know people that listen, they’re in the business of content as well. And I’m just looking at my clock. I’ve totally blown over my time eating up your next. I’m selfishly stealing more knowledge. But Jeff now, fantastic. And I really appreciate, you know, this is stuff.

So there you go, folks. Get on in its market news.com. We’ll have links in the show notes as well. And thank you. This is I love your passion about it because this is. I can tell you it’s born of what you really want to do and how you can amplify people’s effect, and it’s that’s the whole goal. It’s why we do this stuff is like, how do I make someone’s life better than yesterday? And I see how it fits very well.

It is. And that’s really the spirit is to say, you know, I want your editor editorial lead, your content strategist, your content marketing, your demands and people and your CEOs to all not only get along, but feel like, you know, in this case, market news has made them all better. Like, and they’re cool with that, you know, and if that happens, you know, that’s the that’s the stuff. I mean, I nothing makes me feel better than when someone says, oh, yeah, we use market news.

And like, I don’t I couldn’t live without it or we’ve tried something else. It felt more like a trick. Yours your solution makes sense because it my editors love it. Right. Stuff like that is that’s what keeps your blood flowing when you do this. That’s what being a co founder is about to you know, it’s your baby.

The whole thing is a beautiful thing. Awesome. Thanks very much. Thanks, Eric, for sharing.
