Now you know your reader you know how you can help them. Remember, you do not sell on the internet. You help your reader solve their problems and you introduce them to products that can help them. You develop a list of contacts who are interested in what you have to offer them. Develop a relationship then make your pitch. 80% helpful content and 20% sales pitch. Don’t mix the two.
