Adapt 2020: HubSpot Academy AMA - The Shift to Educational Content

Increased marketing email open rates, website traffic and conversations suggest that buyers and customers still want to engage with companies. However, what they’re interested in may have shifted.

 

This isn’t the right time for promoting your latest product or services, but it’s a great time for educational content. What can you offer your customers or prospects without asking for anything in return? Our own website has seen a notable uptick in people looking to take classes, get certified and learn during this time at home. How-to content is also a strong bet for search engine optimization and long-term compounding traffic. 

 

With that in mind, it’s worth considering shelving purely promotional content and creating educational resources instead. But how do you do that? Where do you start? What is the process for developing educational content for your current and potential customers? 

 

The Hubspot Academy Team Professors are here to answer your questions! 

 

HubSpot Academy is the worldwide leader in free online training for inbound marketing, sales, and customer service professionals. We specialize in comprehensive certifications, singular topic courses, and bite-sized lessons for professionals looking to grow their career and business. Our purpose is to educate and inspire so that we together transform the way the world does business. 

 

What do you want to know? What questions do you have for developing educational content for your business? 

 

  1. What questions do you have about how we develop educational content? 
  2. What content do you want to see from Academy to help you develop the skills you need? 
  3. What questions do you have about content you have consumed from Academy already? 

How it works: 

  1. Post your questions throughout the week.
    • Your questions for us can be about anything: how to create and utilize educational content for your customers, questions you’ve had while going through HubSpot Academy content, or what’s coming next from HubSpot Academy.
    • Anything educational content or HubSpot Academy related we’ve got you covered. 
  2. Our professor team will be answering your questions on Friday, April 17th all day.
  3. Check back and keep the conversation going.
  4. Continue to engage with Academy and other learners on Community.
