Content marketing is a potent tool for forging real personal connections. By strategically curating content across three main categories – industry, lifestyle, and personal – you can establish yourself as a trusted authority while fostering genuine relationships with clients and prospects alike.
Industry insights can be useful tools to reinforce your expertise with potential clients. But don’t forget that the finance content that’s interesting to you isn’t great for everyone. Strive to make even your industry-focused content simple and accessible. Remember, this is just a conversation starter. You WANT to leave people wanting more and asking questions. That kind of engagement creates the real, personal connections we are after.

Personal Content is where you break down the professional facade and show your human side. Sharing your hobbies, family updates, or what podcast you’re currently loving allows your network to see you as a human being with shared values and goals. This fosters a sense of connection and relatability.
