How to Use Technology for Authority Marketing

The Four Steps to Authority Marketing Success

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of technology, here’s a quick recap of the four-step authority marketing formula:

  1. Strategy: Develop a clear blueprint for your messaging. Target the right audience with the right message through the right medium.
  2. Build Authority: Establish credibility through legacy content like blogs, podcasts, and magazine features that keep working for you over time.
  3. Leverage Technology: Use tools and trends to connect with your audience effectively and track your success.
  4. Distribute and Market: Amplify your content to reach the right people, at the right time, with maximum impact.

Today, we’ll focus on step three: technology.

Why Technology is Essential for Authority Marketing

In the past, marketing involved strategies like direct mail campaigns. While effective for their time, today’s landscape demands a digital-first approach. Technology isn’t just helpful—it’s necessary to ensure your message is seen, heard, and acted upon.

Here’s why:

  • It’s a Mobile-First World: With most people consuming content on their mobile devices, your content needs to be optimized for video, text, and mobile access. If it’s not mobile-friendly, it’s not audience-friendly.
  • Tracking and Insights Matter: Modern tools allow you to monitor who’s engaging with your content, how they’re engaging, and what’s driving results. Without these insights, you’re marketing blind.
  • Efficiency Meets Effectiveness: Technology streamlines processes like lead capture, landing page creation, and retargeting campaigns, allowing you to get more done in less time.

The Key Trends You Can’t Ignore

  1. Mobile Optimization
    People aren’t glued to desktops anymore. They’re scrolling on their phones, watching short videos, and responding to text messages. If your content isn’t designed for mobile, you’re missing out on valuable engagement.
  2. The Rise of Video and Text
    Video is king. From Instagram Reels to YouTube Shorts, video content grabs attention and drives conversions. Pair that with SMS marketing for direct, fast, and personalized communication.
  3. Smart Use of QR Codes
    QR codes are a game-changer. Whether on postcards, product packaging, or digital ads, they make it easy for your audience to access your content while providing you with valuable data about who’s engaging.

Real-World Example: Kevin Harrington’s Book Launch

Let’s look at a case study of how technology amplified authority marketing. Kevin Harrington, an original Shark Tank investor, used a combination of tech and strategy to launch his book.

Instead of simply publishing and promoting traditionally, he integrated QR codes into his marketing materials. These QR codes led readers to exclusive content and trackable links. By using this data, his team could retarget interested individuals and refine their campaigns. The result? A highly successful launch that turned readers into loyal followers.

The Four C’s of Marketing Technology

To make the most of your authority marketing efforts, focus on these four pillars:

  1. Contact: Reach your audience through the right channels—be it mobile, email, or social media.
  2. Capture: Use landing pages, forms, and QR codes to gather valuable lead information.
  3. Convert: Turn those leads into customers with personalized offers, engaging content, and clear calls to action.
  4. Communicate: Stay connected with your audience through consistent follow-ups, nurturing trust and loyalty.

One Hour, Big Impact: The Power of Repurposing Content

One of the smartest ways to leverage technology is through content repurposing. Imagine spending just one hour a week creating a single piece of content—like a podcast or blog. With the right tools, you can transform that content into:

  • Social media posts
  • Email campaigns
  • Video snippets
  • Magazine features
  • Paid ads

By strategically repurposing content, you amplify your reach and maximize your time investment.

A Final Word: Agility is Your Competitive Edge

As Jeff Bezos wisely said, “The only sustainable advantage you can have over others is agility.” Technology is what allows you to stay agile—adapting to trends, optimizing your efforts, and staying ahead of the competition.

Authority marketing is not about doing everything; it’s about doing the right things with precision. Build your strategy, establish your authority, and use technology to connect with your audience in ways that are measurable and meaningful.
