Before you begin dating someone, you have to attract them. As humans, we do all kinds of things to attract potential dating partners, including wearing nice clothes to look our best (first impressions and all), hitting spots where matches might be found, and showing off our best features.

Well, content marketing uses the same approach. To draw a parallel, you don’t just walk up to someone you’re interested in and say, “Hey, let’s be a thing.” Instead, you might make eyes at them from across the room, or you make sure you sit close to them in a crowded club.

In 2010, I had no idea that I was about to embark on a grand journey. Having just gotten into content marketing and learning as I went along, all kinds of new concepts were being thrown my way. Needless to say, I found myself juggling a number of tasks while wearing lots of hats. I was tasked with not only writing digital content but also digging deep into the psychology of clients, readers, consumers, business owners, Internet trolls, and other marketing professionals – the list was endless.
