Content Marketing Best Practice Research, Amplification & Monitoring
Good Content Marketing is…
Creating & distributing valuable, relevant, timely and consistent content to build an audience.
Most content gets few shares and even fewer links
Possible Reasons
• Research – not researching content that resonates with the audience
• Amplification – no amplification strategy and assuming people will find your content
• Monitoring - not monitoring trends and adjusting content or acting quickly enough
