In the Googleplex headquarter in the Mountain View, California, Larry Page, the co-founder and CEO of Google, believes the company faces an existential question despite being in fantastic shape. Larry is questioning things, thinking about what the future will bring. He believes in big ideas rather than mundane products. These ideas are called “moonshots”. He is challenging other Googlers to come up with another big idea after search that will keep the company relevant and growing in the future.
There’s an important lesson here for all people building projects online. You should not be content with your situation despite what the current status is. You should be thinking about the future and figuring out how to keep being relevant in the ever-changing world.
Asking yourself right questions could be the answer to your content marketing struggles. Being critical and asking yourself hard questions is a tough exercise but a necessary one if you want your site to keep growing and improving. Asking hard questions and doing it often can help you avert from upcoming problems, help you see and recognize things you didn’t consider, and reveal new paths and opportunities towards a brighter future.
It is necessary to reflect on tough questions, answer them honestly and follow the answers by taking actions that will get you closer to your goals. There are no right or wrong answers but you cannot be passive in this exercise. These questions and answers to them are meant to get the wheels turning. This is a list of questions smart content marketers should be asking themselves:
- How happy am I overall with my site out of 10?
- What does success look like to me?
- What can I do today or in the very short term to improve my site?
- What risk would I take if I knew I could not fail?
- What tasks and actions am I avoiding?
