The Perfect Content Marketing Plan For List Building – Paul Clifford

The Authority Insider Podcast

Software entrepreneur Paul Clifford has over 25 years of experience building, growing, and maintaining desktop and mobile software apps for marketing firms around the world. Before starting his highly successful online marketing software company, KudaniCloud, he worked as a Chief Technology Officer and Chief Customer Officer with several large companies. He fondly remembers the first software tool that he built, Colleague, for the recruitment industry which has since been sold and resold for several million dollars. Additionally, Paul has been involved in several start-ups over the years, one of which has sold for over $38-Million in 2011 as well as published an e-book to help online marketers learn basic and powerful techniques to build content marketing strategies and techniques that have been proven to improve ROI.

Most recently, Paul has launched a tool to help you build a mailing list from your content. Designrr takes your existing blog posts (or other people’s blog posts) and turns them into beautiful ebooks that you can give away in exchange for an email address. This tactic is something that I’ve done successfully for years. Giving away PDF downloadable versions of your blog posts works extremely well to grow the list…
