Content is NOT King; Relationships are King

March 24, 2011 By Gail Gardner 120 Comments

This is a guest post from Chris at The Traffic Blogger.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? If you had a few hours I might actually debate the answer to this question with you but, for now, let’s use this as an analogy for making money online.

Which came first, the content or the relationship? Everyone tells me how making money online involves having awesome content, in fact, many would recommend having the best content. However, if you think about this simple question of which came first, the content or the relationship, you will begin to realize that the money isn’t in the content, but rather, in the relationship.

On The Traffic Blogger, I once talked about how content was king and an exposure channel was his queen. However, over time I have come to realize that your content is meaningless without this exposure channel, which is really nothing more than a series of relationships that allows you to advertise your content. Something became clear to me:

The content wasn’t king, but rather the relationships themselves.

Which came first, the content or the relationship? The relationship did, and it is for this reason alone that relationships should be your primary focus if you intend to make money online. Your content will not get read by anyone if they are never shown it in the first place. People are who you want to connect with, and in the Why People Course, I go to great lengths explaining why your interactions with people are your most important tactics as an Internet marketer. Now, am I saying that your content can be a series of grammatically incorrect posts with blurred images and a title banner created by your three year old son in ms paint? Perhaps if you are selling crayons to children, but otherwise, you are going to want to create kingly content regardless of whether you view relationships as more important than the content itself.

So how can you apply this mindset and change the way you behave online? For starters, you should be going out to meet your audience, not waiting for them to come to you. If all you do is focus on your content then your relationships will never exist or they will die out if you had any to begin with. Work hard to appear everywhere your potential audience could be, whether that be a series of forums, YouTube channels, pod casts, other blogs, etc, all in an effort to get your information in front of their faces.

Relationships are the new “Content”
that you should be considering “King.”

Ever go to a party and hang around that one person in the room who is the most social? Guess what, the Internet is no different. If you are that cool person in the room with the answers and more importantly, who is willing to listen to questions in the first place, then you will have a flock of followers in no time. Did that social person sit on a coach in the middle of the party doing nothing but texting on his phone? No, he was up and about at the buffet line and in the corners where guests were gathering.

Typing up content on your blog for no one to read but your mother
is the equivalent of focusing solely on content as your “King.”

Make relationships your king and the money will follow.

By focusing on relationships instead of selling products, I was able to take a blog from 2,000 to 10,000 subscribers in 6 months. This mindset change will have that much of an impact on your blog, I promise. What’s more, your audience will literally beg you to sell them your opinions, ideas and products.

People love a leader, and if relationships are your “King” then leading will be something you do naturally. Speaking of naturally, humans naturally want to be lead by someone who provides something different than the rest. This doesn’t necessarily have to be the best option for them, but as long as it is different than what they are used to then they will keep on following you.

By being yourself, you will inherently be different than anyone else.
Listen to your audience to become the leader in your niche.

Be different by being yourself, building relationships and listening, then the money will follow.

Make the switch today, go from focusing on content to focusing on relationships. After all, it’s who you know, not what you know, and the Internet is no different! I would love to have you follow me on Twitter.

    From my own experience is seems that in some niches personal relationships are a must in order to get any coverage, especially if the field is naturally getting a lot of social sharing. In others though (especially technology related), I’ve noticed that people really don’t care who writes on their blog and aren’t even interested in hearing about who you are, what you do and how exactly your experience relates to their blog and audience. I sometimes feel like I’m talking to a machine, not a person, while dealing with people running tech/gadget blogs.-J

    Interesting premise, but I must disagree. The relationship has to start somewhere or there is none. Whether it’s a conversation, making friends, a party between friends, or social forums online, someone or something has to get the conversation going to start or sustain the relationship. Just my opinion.

    “Did that social person sit on a coach in the middle of the party”
    I think people would gather around the social person if he is sitting on a coach. But I wont advice you to do that at the next party you go to.

    I never really understood the whole: What was first the chicken or the egg question. It’s just a funny thing, for the rest why would I care? Now we have chickens and we have eggs. I love ‘m both.

    Same goes for content and relationships. They are both important, one without the other is useless.
    I do believe it is easier to make connections with other bloggers if you are writing awesome content already. Then you can do some guest blogging, get some shares and retweets etc.

    Many of the most commonly used aphorisms turn out to be garbage under close scrutiny. Though one of the easiest ways to develop mass relationships is through the content you provide. You can ruin those relationships if you send them enough garbage. I will agree that most overlook the small things such as one-on-one questions and answers that can quickly snowball though.

    Sidenote: If the chicken was the first in the chicken evolutionary chain, then the egg came first as an egg will not be warm enough to hatch without a chicken sitting on it. If there was an evolutionary link before the chicken, then it was the egg.

    I guess you could also say that relationships is king instead of content, but we do build those relationships on the actual content, you can’t really have a blog with lists of phone numbers and build relations on those articles.

    Relationships are imperative, because eventually you will need to be face-to-face with a prospect to turn them into a buyer. This can be online, on the phone, or in person. It’s about people. But, your content must balance the relationship, or you will be exposed as a pretender.

    With the help of social media, we can meet other people. We can build more relationships, more friends or even lovers as well. Before, establishing a relationship is hard. But today, due to technology like the web, it’s just easy. It’s as if your just in one place. Relationships can now be easily made.

    Great post, I am also a believer in content. Everyone’s time is valuable and there are a lot of sources competing for their attention. If you do not provide quality content, your voice will be drowned out in the crowd.

    However, this article points out the reality that even if your content is great, if nobody sees it, then the quality of your content will not matter.

    Relationships have to more than just a backlink and a blurb on your site they have to have more than one degree of connection. It is harder to develop these relationships but it is worth it for high page rank and high traffic sites. Pick a partner that is relevant to your site

    Relationships are important, but there has to be some substance beneath them, and that is where quality content comes in. So (to use your analogy), there may be the ‘most social’ person at the party, and they instantly win people over, but if they are hollow underneath the initial attraction, people may actually take an interest in the fellow texting quietly in the background. Not a social creature but get to know him, and the relationship ends up being more powerful and longer-lasting.

    I’m not sure whether or not I agree with the claims you make in this post. I think, if I had to take a stance, I would say that the content and the relationships formed are equally important. Neither one, by itself, will ultimately result in a successful blog. You can have awesome, thought-provoking content, but without establishing relationships to bring people to your blog, your content will never get read. The opposite is also true; you can form all the connections you want to other bloggers by commenting on others’ blogs, promoting your blog using social media, etc., but if your content isn’t up to par, you can’t expect to engage your readers or have them coming back.

    Basically, despite good quality content, it was people I already knew who helped kick start the blog. The comments came from people who I have good online relations with, and not people I don’t know. I am sure with time this will change and I will make new relations, but I can absolutely see what you are saying 🙂

    Good, informative article!

    I think it really depends on many things. For example, if you are building a business that relies on networking with other heavily, I would imagine relationships would be at the top of your agenda. However, no matter how many good relationships you have, if those people get to your site and see no useful content, then you are going to lose them. So, I would say, both content and relationship can be the king!

    In my opinion, though relationships might seem to outweigh the importance of content, but the difference is not very large. Just relationships would give you backlinks, no doubt, but to get the most out of those links, you need to have sound content. It is clear to everyone what Google Sandbox is and how it kicks out links, else it would have been too easy for the SEOs.

    This is so true. It is easy to lose focus when SO MANY people are marketing products in the ‘Make Money Online’ market. Things are hurled at you left and right, content is king, relationships are king… To me, quality content is a given, I can’t and won’t cut corners there. All of the relationship building in the world is worthless if your content is spammy or low quality. Well, you may have short term gains but who wants to do all of that work if you just have to turn around and start all over?

    I do get lost sometimes and get a one-track mind that is focused on content. Thanks for the reminder and helping me sharpen my focus on relationships.

    Of course, there should be a dynamic relationship between “SEO”, “content creation” and “building relationships”.

    One problem is that some people sometimes forget that “building relationships” is not simply getting people to be your Facebook Friend or to “follow” (and ignore?) your tweets, but actually to communicate, speak, get to know and interact with the people who visit your site.

    In the same way, if you think that “good content” is only about “SEO” you are missing the point. Good content should be unique, relevant, useful and engaging for the site visitor first of all. Often, if you get that right, the SEO will look after itself.

    Good content will then set up a sound basis for you to engage personally with the real people who visit your site. Most likely, the process will begin by responding to comments, or by engaging further with visitors who sign up to your list.

    I absolutely love that you addressed this. So many people rely on their ‘echo-chamber’ and hope that those people will somehow force a boost in viewership.

    Recently I read a blog post by Single Dad Laughing that was pretty much saying content was king. As a long time [since 2001] blogger myself, I’ve only lately come to the realization that it doesn’t matter how much I post or even if the content is great. People really do not just ‘magically’ show up.

    As soon as I actively pursued syndication and began really striking out on my own, I experienced a sky-rocket in views. Granted I don’t sell anything so I’m still trying to figure out monetization. But I have 10 years of proof that what you are saying is the truth.

    I look forward to reading more as I only just found your blog. Feel free to check out mine as I’m currently posting about how to be a blogger on my own site: http://allisondduncan.com

    One week someone will write an article to say that content is the most important thing, the next it’s building relationships, the next we are told it’s all down to building an email list, and then it will be back to content! It all starts to sound a little trite?

    Surely a balance is required? What’s the point of getting traffic if your bounce rate is 100%? What’s the point of having fantastic posts if no one is reading them?

    There are no rules in this game. My most successful site went from zero to 100k hits in the first month simply because I ranked well for one term that no one else was competing for.

    I also agree that contents are the tools to create the relations. But, if you don’t have unique content, I think people don’t want to build a good relationship with you. For me, both of them are important in an internet marketing…

    Contents are the tools to create the relations and these tools display your inner self to others and finally they decide to run with you or not. I think relations are content dependent.

      Visitors don’t give a shit for content or where is your website appears in searches. Don’t be fooled by google propaganda.

      Human visitors are looking for fast online HUMAN support, fast finding what they are specifically looking for, fast realization of their requests by HUMANs and 3-d party discussions (blogs, comments, forum posts, etc.) by HUMANs on OTHER resources.
      This is all “relationship”s.

      And the latter frequently very difficult to find, especially by google searches, because google’s SERPs are filled with SEO-optimized spam farms with automatically dauly re-published malicious or distorted impersonal content. Eventually, because professional spammers using spam bots are more advanced in using SEO.

      Again, SEO is oxymoron, scammed on us by google, because optimization of search engines has nothing to do with optimization of website content and the latter has nothing to do with true marketing of a product or of a service

      Google scammed business to senseless counterproductive spendings of SEO gambling-guessing while it is google’s business to optimize its own google search engine but not of the users (and according to secret always changing rules)

          I just realized why this debate is so popular: because many want all answers to be either/or when in fact all truth is far more complicated than that.

          Yes, you have to have quality content, BUT no amount of wonderful content will attract visitors until those visitors have some way 0f knowing it exists.

          Vgv8 is correct that this whole SEO “good vs evil” nonsense works well to keep many businesses on the wrong track. Businesses need to wake up because SEO and article marketing will not save you when Google starts using Chrome block data to censor their results – and they may ALREADY be doing that.

          If you haven’t read my Google posts now would be a good time to start. If you have, you may want to reread them. But most of all we must start championing alternatives while we are still getting traffic from G because that traffic could be gone in the blink of an eye.

            I disagree with your phrase:
            “Yes, you have to have quality content, BUT no amount of wonderful content will attract visitors until those visitors have some way 0f knowing it exists”

            From my rather vast experience,
            even if you force potential customers to know “it”,
            they still do not care (and again not about content but about “relationship”, quality, etc.) until they find 3d-party evidences, discussions, feedback, comments.
            And those 3d-party non-SEO-ed evicences on other webresources most frequently do not appeared in SERPs or are out-ranked by professionally SEO-ed spam

            And, again, from my experience, there are plethora of cases when SEO-ed content also dumped by search engines.
            I have concrete examples and stats…

        I hope the meaning and sense of this phrase was understandable from context.
        Still. as a potential targeted/marketed customer I do not care about content.

      And business does not need senseless expenses on SEO, i.e. websites.
      It is interested in promoting brands, products and services.

      If you read between the lines, the real message of this article is that you should create content which helps foster relationships and rely on more than just the presence of that content to spread it.

SEO is how a robot finds an article related to a person’s search, but it is other people that the robot relies heaviest on for ranking search results. Without connections and good content being spread amongst a distribution channel, all you have is unread content!

Other than just delivering the information readers want getting connected is more vital.

    I love networking and do believe building relationships is important. Content does need to be quality though cos even friends won’t want to read same old, same old fluff!

    Gail is a great example of one who reaches out to us newbies. Learnt tons from her when I first started out and see on Twitter how she writes encouraging comments after she tweets.

    I try and do the same. People appreciate being treated as individuals and to be appreciated. Trust builds up and for sure they are more likely to read information and buy products from those they know and trust than from some random site on the net.

    Enjoyable read Chris. Thanks for sharing. Appreciated.

For example, I am pretty sure Darren Rowse doesn’t have a connection with everyone of it’s readers but rather he had a good marketing plan and other are marketing him as a great blogger, I would say that he can even write something that is less then average, as content, and still be perceived as great.

    So although you can write content to act as a way to create relations with your readers I would say that a good marketing strategy can do wanders.

    I have written 3 post on explaining why content is king and it will never change because the words we spoke and the text we wrote and the speech people listen to… are all content… before it comes in to relationship…
    As you already wrote “If you are that cool person in the room with the answers” and guess what?
    The “answer” is the content and without it do you think you can be the cool guy or gal in the party… absolutely no… right?
    Just imagine you wanted that girl to become you girlfriend before you get into relationship, you need content and the content is “dating her out” and if she feels your content is no different from other guys do you think she will accept a relationship with you… absolutely no… right?
    So this explain in within the connection of building relationship is all about the content that you deliver.
    And when the content you deliver is good… relationship will THEN start… Now do you still think relationship is the king?

      Hi App,

      I totally agree that relationship makes all the difference with whether I read and comment regularly in a blog or not. When I am researching something that Darren Rowse @Problogger or Brian Clark @Copyblogger have probably written about I go to their blogs and search, but since they do not interact with me in their comments I don’t read them regularly.

      Since I don’t read them regularly I only share their content when it happens across my path. That doesn’t happen often because we don’t really have any kind of relationship. I respect what they do but they aren’t on my daily radar.

      Bloggers who interact with their commentators have loyal readers and build community. Those who do not lose the interest of their readers because if someone doesn’t want to listen to you, how much do you really want to listen to them?

    After all, the content is out on a blog to encourage relations, to have feedback, Retweets, Stumbles, Diggs and whanot.
    A blog without any kind of user interaction is a dead blog, don’t you have the same feeling when you visit one of them?
    When everything you do is finalized to relations, it’s easy to understand “content” is merely a mean towards that.

    BUY MY PRODUCT NOW, IT IS THE LATEST AND GREATEST….

    That style of marketing is dead and not a moment too soon. This post touches on an emotional topic. Relationships. It is great to know other people, such as your self, focus on real social engagement, not “tactics” to sell stuff.

    It took me about year to finally “get” Twitter, but now that I do (of think I do) it makes on line social media conversations that much better.

      It took me a while to realize sharing great content on Twitter wasn’t what really works best – interacting with people is. Even today I tend to share and RT too much and interact not enough but I am working on it.

      Relationships are key to everything but so many of us aren’t very good at them – especially many of us called to blog – because we are so different than the people around us.

      Have you seen the tips and strategies in my Twitter Best Practices post? What I’ve learned over the past three years is all in there.

      Joseph, my Small Business Internet Marketing post has information in that will be useful to you – especially the section on getting free advertising from Local Search Directories. See the Local Case Study I put in CommentLuv in this reply to see one example of how it worked.

    I have to say your spot on in this post. Great content itself is a waste if it’s not reaching the audience. But I think its really hard to get noticed today as “everybody” is on the social medias screaming:listen to me

      Hi Bjorn, Chris,

      The real key is to take the blogging and social media skills we have learned and create geo-targeted niche blogs. Why and how at that link.

      Bloggers need to find a niche in a specific geographic location and build a community around that niche so that they can be the best blog for a very specific audience. They will then attract advertising and content from businesses interested in reaching that audience.

    Bravo, Chris. Well said. This points out something so obvious and basic yet most of us seem to forget. Thank you for saying it in such a clear and compelling manner.

    Interestingly enough, it is my relationship with two remarkable ladies, Gail & Michele, that let me know this post was here. The title so intrigued me that I clicked right over; so glad I did.

    Best wishes for a spectacular day. Off to spread the word. Aloha. Jaent
