Why Content Pillars Don't Work
03/21/22 • 15 min
Do you like puzzles? I do. But with a cup of tea and time on my hands, not when it comes to figuring out if something can solve my problem or make my life easier. You don't want your communications to be a puzzle to your audience, to your customers, but that's what's happening if you're using content pillars the way most experts are talking about them. I've watched the webinars, I've downloaded the freebies, and I break down exactly what's missing in this podcast episode.
Thank you for spending some of your precious time with me in your ears. If you enjoy this podcast, I’d be extra grateful if you could rate & review so more people can hear it. I'm an independent podcaster and I really appreciate your support.
