The Content Promotion Strategy that Will Guarantee Your Sanity

Let me give you a short story, of the article I wrote last month on 21 Premium Courses Being Offered for Free Amidst Covid-19
I was committed to putting this resource together but there was no information available. No one had written anything on it yet.
Google search was returning generic results for the general free online courses.
So I had to get creative:
- I stayed alert, opening every email. Luckily, I got 5 emails from the newsletters I had signed up for announcing that they were giving away their premium courses for a limited time. These were big publications including Ahrefs, Oberlo and Digital Marketer.
- I did Twitter search. This was huge for me. There were already Twitter chats on the same and people were sharing a course or two that they knew was being given away.
- Third, I visited every website that I had a gut feeling that they might be offering a free course. I would check for any announcement bar, or head over to their blog page to see if they had a Covid19 resource page.
I now had over 21 solid list and I signed up for each of them, taking screenshots and writing detailed step by step tutorial post on how to sign up for eacb of the offers.
