How much do you really know about content marketing? While many marketers believe they are experts in the field, many find that the facts they believe to be true are far from accurate. With the influence of this tool becoming increasingly essential to a brand’s overall success, it is critical that those in charge know the facts about content marketing.
Make sure your brand doesn’t fall victim to some of these common content marketing myths.
Content marketing is all about creating content…
Don’t get me wrong, crafting quality content is really important. But how effective can it be if there is no one to read it? To be successful in this game, you also need to follow-through on your efforts. This includes the distribution of the content on social media and websites. It also includes engaging in conversations with others on the various topics your content covers.
Higher traffic means greater success…
While it is important to get people to your site the quality of those visitors is just as critical. A site can have a high number of visitors but achieve only mediocre success if they aren’t the right visitors. The goal of your strategy should be to attract those who would find the most value in your brand.
Blog posts are the only type of content marketing…
Even though blog posts are often an essential component to most mainstream campaigns, they are not the only option to consider. Content marketing strategies come in many forms which can all help grow and expand a brand. Others to consider are videos, enewsletters, ebooks and white papers.
