Content Marketing

DEFINITION

Attracting and converting customers through valuable written, video, or audio content that answers their questions and ranks organically.

In depth

For SaaS, content marketing funnels readers from informational queries ("what is MRR") to commercial queries ("best MRR calculator") to product pages. The best content is neither promotional nor academic — it answers the reader's real next question.

Compounding kicks in around month 9–12. Before that, it feels like shouting into a void; after, it becomes the cheapest customer acquisition channel the business has.
