The hidden ROI of content: how to make your current content work 24/7

Most businesses treat content creation as an expense rather than an investment. They spend time and resources writing blog posts, then hope visitors find them. But with the right strategy, your existing content can become a powerful lead-generation tool that works around the clock.

The real cost of content creation

Creating quality content involves:

• Research & planning – Hours spent ensuring accuracy.
• Writing & editing – Multiple drafts and professional editing.
• Design & SEO – Visual appeal and search optimisation.
• Promotion – Sharing via email, social media, and other channels.

In South Africa, a single high-quality blog post can cost between R2,000 – R6,000 when factoring in expert time.

How most businesses underuse content

• Passive consumption – Content waits for visitors to find it.
• One-time value – Articles provide value only on first read.
• No interaction – Static content can’t answer follow-up questions.
• Poor tracking – Hard to measure which content drives leads.

Turning content into conversations

Interactive content boosts ROI by:

• Engaging visitors immediately – 3-5x higher interaction than static posts.
• Providing personalised answers – Visitors get specific help, not generic info.
• Qualifying leads better – Understand prospects’ needs through conversation.
• Working 24/7 – Your expertise is always available.

The numbers: static vs. interactive

Imagine a business that spent R100,000 on 25 articles over two years.

Traditional approach:

• 1,000 monthly visitors
• 5% read articles (50 visitors)
• 2% convert (1 lead/month)
• Cost per lead: R8,833

Conversational approach:

• Same 1,000 visitors
• 20% engage (200 visitors)
• 10% convert (20 leads/month)
• Cost per lead: R417

That’s a 20x improvement in lead generation.
