How to Use Psychology for Better Content Marketing Results
Too often we speak about content marketing or SEO using dry, machine-generated terms. ROI, engagement, lead generation, lead conversion, traffic sources.
Don’t get me wrong, I love numbers too. I love content marketing accountability and being able to prove that my efforts have produced tangible results (read: profit/cash).

So what could be more fitting in mastering something that appeals to our fellow humans than the most human science of all: psychology?
Let’s see how you can use psychology to improve your content marketing. Don’t worry. You don’t need an advanced degree in the field. You just need to learn how to connect the dots between basic psychology concepts and content marketing.
