1. Turn Text Content into Visual ContentWant to get 94% more views of your content? Add images. It can’t be said enough that

incorporating plenty of visuals into your B2B content marketing plan is a must. One

excellent way to compile all of your vital information into a pleasing visual format is by using

infographics.

2. Develop Videos to Share on Social MediaSocial media should be a key component of your B2B content marketing plan. As Paul

Barron (@paulbarron) advises, “I use social media as an idea generator, trend mapper and

strategic compass for all of our online business ventures.” (Source: Kissmetrics). For B2B

marketers, LinkedIn continues to be the platform of choice, with 44% saying they’ve

generated leads through the network.

Re-inspire your content marketing across social media by sharing videos, which are highly

engaging to audiences and can generate up to 300% more traffic back to your content.

Develop fun tutorials or product videos that will appeal to your target audience and entice

them to watch through to the end.

3. Create Benchmarks for Your B2B Content Marketing PlanYou can’t know how your content is performing without measuring it, but first you need to

define what success means for you. Look at competitors to get a feel for what their

performance is, whether for social shares or number of readers, and set up your own

benchmarks. Venngage, for example, looked at how the top marketing companies stacked

up against each other in terms of their content marketing success, and then compared it to

their own. Then, upon understanding what success looks like within their industry,

Venngage was able to develop a new strategy that promoted actionable content to help

boost their ranking.
