3 new ways to engage your website visitors with content
Ilya Nasedkin • 28 January 2020
The latest research from eMarketer suggests that marketers plan to up their investment in content this year, with 80% of marketing professionals confirming that they will increase their content spend over the next 12 months.
However, with so much content being produced, it can be hard to make your own creations stand out.
So what can you do?
Many marketers say they plan to explore different types of content campaigns such as podcasts and audio to connect with their customers and web visitors in 2020. Here’s a few of our suggestions to help you get ahead of this trend with some new approaches to content you can deploy right now…
1. Add a podcast to your marketing plan
We’ve seen lots of brands adding podcasts to their marketing over the last year or so – and if you haven’t yet joined them, now is the time. 9 in 10 marketers told eMarketer that this was an area they definitely planned to invest more time and resources on so, if you don’t join them, you could be leaving the door wide open for your competitors to wow your potential customers instead.
Podcasts are simply audio recordings and don’t need lots of fancy or expensive equipment to get right, though a good microphone is a worthwhile investment once you find your feet with this content format.
Google figures show that searches for podcasts are also on the up so you can be comfortable that consumer demand for this style of content exists. To help your podcast stand out, define your niche and search out some interesting and entertaining guests to join you on a few of your episodes.
2. Live stream
This is another content type that is already enormously popular but one that many brands feel a little intimidated by. The easiest way to get started is by using Stories and Go Live on social networks like Facebook and Instagram or YouTube. These tend to be informal and don’t require expensive camera equipment and editing software – just use your existing smartphone. Of course, you can take things a step further as you become more confident and build up your following but it isn’t necessary right away. Get started by hosting a question and answer session or meet the team live stream.
3. Use AR
Google has already tipped AR to be one of the top 10 marketing trends of 2020 so it’s well worth exploring what you can do in this area sooner rather than later. Again, AR is one of those terms that can be off putting, especially for brands who haven’t yet fully found their feet and confidence with traditional content marketing.
Apps like SnapChat have started to add AR capability and there are other plug ins and downloads you can access to add AR filters or AR lenses to your creations quickly and easily. Experiment with some of these to create AR visuals to use on your social media profiles.

For modern entrepreneurs, building a sustainable business model is no longer just about chasing the next big sale. The future belongs to recurring revenue — a model that allows you to earn predictable, ongoing income month after month. And for those looking to build freedom, flexibility, and financial stability, it’s a game-changer.
For anyone launching a digital agency today, the smartest move is to start with a business-in-a-box solution like Eazi-Business. It’s not just a tool—it’s a complete solution built to help entrepreneurs hit the ground running, even with no prior tech experience. Here’s the streamlined, modern tech stack Eazi-Business recommends for new agency owners:
Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch. The Eazi-Business Business-in-a-Box gives you ready-made homepage templates with proven structure, persuasive copy blocks, and branding flexibility. Use our pre-built website framework to launch with confidence and convert faster.
