Most people will first research a business online, which starts by visiting your website or social media pages. If your website and social pages are packed with useful information that shows you know what you’re talking about, you’ll create the impression you’re an expert and therefore trustworthy. Start by
writing an ebook to entice people to subscribe to your
newsletters. For example:
- A financial planner could write an ebook on the pros and cons of repaying your home loan sooner
- An accountant could write an ebook explaining what actions will trigger an audit by the Australian Taxation Office
- A mortgage broker could write an ebook explaining all the fine print on standard lending contracts and what clients should look out for
Next,
write blogs for your website. To build trust, focus on offering solutions and answering questions your potential clients may have. For example, a mortgage broker could write blogs on:
- How the cash rate affects home loan rates
- Why lending rates increase when inflation is high
- How to choose a good mortgage broker
Finally, publish
social media posts on the major platforms your clients frequent. Topics could include industry news, helpful tips or information about your business.
