Content Marketing That Produces Results

Building a robust, impactful content marketing program — one that produces results — can leave you frustrated and overwhelmed.

There’s more noise out there than ever before, and getting your ideal clients’ attention can feel like an impossible task.

Maybe you’ve posted some blog articles here and there or tried to create a case study that showcases your results —but all that comes back is *crickets*.

Wasn’t content marketing supposed to change the game? Why do marketing goals feel even more out of reach? Is content still king? What’s the answer?

The reality is, your ideal clients or stakeholders are tired of fluff-filled, AI-generated, pointless content. It means nothing to them.

Building a robust, impactful content marketing program that works is simple. But it’s not easy.

That’s why I’m here to help.

"John has written scores of personal finance and small business articles for us at Investopedia and The Balance over the past several years. His copy arrives clean and easy to edit, it's always well-sourced and in alignment with our style guide, and maybe best of all, it's easy to read (John truly has a "writer's ear").

For me, he's covered topics in credit cards, personal loans, mortgages, home warranties, and small business. For other editors, he's written about insurance and banking (and probably much more). It's a broad range, but John's a personal finance polymath, with admirable research and reporting skills. He's a reliable contributor and a good communicator, and I never hesitate to consider him for an assignment."

"John is a dream to work with. He is highly skilled at interviewing and is intuitive as well as impeccably factual in crafting content. I was impressed by how quickly he recognized the intended impact of these communications as well as the needs of the target audiences of the Texas Economic Development Corp., and he built content that performed as well as we had hoped. He consistently exceeded our expectations in everything he did."

You need a reliable and robust content marketing program that moves the needle.

You need content that connects with your ideal clients, delivers the right message and fits into your broader content strategy.

No more missed opportunities due to a disorganized content marketing plan —it’s time to win.

Let’s do this.
