Beyond Blogging: How B2B Tech Marketers Can Build Trust Through Content Marke...Kiwi Creative
In general, B2B buyers consult roughly seven information sources before making a purchase decision. Of those sources, a company's blog content ranks near the bottom of what buyers care about; instead, they are preferring product demos, user reviews and peer communities as a way to gauge a tech company's trustworthiness.
So, if simply publishing content regularly doesn't move the needle as much it once did, what can B2B tech marketers do instead to build trust for their brand?
Join Jacquie Chakirelis, Director of Digital Strategy for Quest Digital and one of the top 50 B2B influencers to follow in 2021, to dive into how we can leverage our marketing efforts to earn and keep trust with our customers and empower them to become our advocates.

The document discusses different models for classifying investor personality types, including the BB&K model and Barnewall model. The BB&K five-way model categorizes investors based on their confidence and actions into Adventurer, Celebrity, Individualist, Guardian, and Straight Arrow types. The Barnewall model distinguishes between passive investors who gained wealth passively and active investors who risked capital. It then describes the eight possible investor personality types from the combination of Idealist/Pragmatist and Framer/Integrator/Reflector/Realist dimensions. Each type is associated with certain tendencies, biases, and abilities to conduct research and handle consequences.
The document contains 20 quotes from Prince ranging from short phrases to full sentences on a variety of topics including music, life, freedom, spirituality, happiness, and more. Some of the quotes say music should make you feel good, life is a party that doesn't last, too much freedom can lead to soul decay, and a strong spirit transcends rules.
This list is more or less a curation of tips I've surfaced from my reading or research and from what I've observed from being around some incredible investors and successful entrepreneurs. Note, this advice is geared towards ideation through product-market fit level startups, but the life tips are universally applicable I would say.

The document discusses the ongoing debate around legalizing marijuana in the U.S. Proponents argue that marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol and support its medical uses, while celebrities and business people admit to using it.

It encourages readers to research both sides of the debate and decide whether legalizing marijuana would make their country better or worse.

There are many investment options available for stock market and mutual fund investing, including purchasing and selling stocks, mutual funds, day trading, trading penny stocks, and bonds. Stocks allow individuals to own a small part of a company, while mutual funds provide ownership of multiple stocks and bonds in a single investment. Day trading and penny stocks are considered riskier options that involve quick buying and selling. Bonds represent loans to companies and agencies that provide fixed returns. The key is choosing the investment types that suit one's goals and risk tolerance.

Crowdfunding is a way for individuals, businesses, and charities to raise money from the public. There are several types of crowdfunding: investment, loan, donation, and reward-based. Investment crowdfunding involves individuals investing in companies in exchange for equity, while loan crowdfunding has individuals lending money with interest. Donation crowdfunding relies on donations with no expected returns. Reward crowdfunding provides backers with rewards in exchange for financial contributions. Crowdfunding allows entrepreneurs to pitch projects and raise money through online platforms without going to a bank.
