Inbound marketing is based on the concept of earning the attention of prospects,   making yourself easy to be found  and drawing customers to your website by producing content customers value. Blogs, podcasts, video, eBooksenewsletterswhitepapersSEO, social media marketing, and other forms of content marketing are considered inbound marketing. This is a long term investment. Once the material is there, attention keeps coming in.

In contrast, buying attention, cold-calling, direct paper mail, radio, TV advertisements, sales flyers, spam, telemarketing and traditional advertising are considered “outbound marketing.” This is a short term investment. Attention need to be bought over and over again.

Marketers "earn their way in" (via publishing helpful information on a blog etc.) in contrast to outbound marketing where they "buy, beg, or bug their way in" (via paid advertisements, issuing press releases, or paying commissioned sales people, respectively).

The model illustrates the concept in five stages:

  1. Attract traffic
  2. Convert visitors to leads
  3. Convert leads to sales
  4. Turn customers into repeat higher margin customers
