How to content marketing: 1. Use keyword research to come up with relevant topics 2. Publish authoritative content or use someone who is an authority figure. (The dad has 45 years experience) 3. promote content (in relevant places) 4. traffic from promotion leads your content to rank at the top. (You can’t reach the first page of google/YouTube by using keyword research alone. You need substantial traffic before google puts you in the top 10. Kinda like the chicken and egg scenario. You need traffic to rank. You need to rank in the top 10 if you want traffic. How do you break this cycle? Promotion)

OP is pissed because the auto advocate guy followed all 4 steps. It seems like OP wants him to do steps 1&2 alone and use that to try to rank at the top. Because how dare one try to promote one’s content to the (relevant) subreddit and get traffic from it?

Redditors are smart. They know a shitty ad when they see one. I don’t think OP’s post would have gone viral if he didn’t take the time to research what those people like.

There is no Reddit keyword research? Take a look at this. This was posted by one guy in the entrepreneur thread a few weeks ago. https://airtable.com/shrjjx3pyyxg9AfaK/tblUd4PtgiFT7UKPS/viwhOIJOPuZZ7BaxY?blocks=hide

And this is a Reddit keyword research tool. It’s not very good but it’s a start. https://www.highervisibility.com/free-seo-tools/keyworddit/

How do I know this? I’ve taken the time to learn content marketing during this quarantine in order to use it in my work. Auto advocate is doing everything the book says.
