Develop a Complete Content Strategy and Leverage Digital Tactics!
Develop a Complete Content Strategy
Businesses looking at content marketing as a means towards increased online credibility and visibility should put on a publisher’s hat. You need to create responsibilities that would equate to ‘chief content officer’ or ‘content strategist’. This activity should coordinate with your sales, solutions, and marketing people to understand what your customers want and how you can make your content standout. Look at ways to:
- Create an editorial calendar and prepare a strategy to update your content regularly
- Integrate your content strategy across all content dissemination mediums including print, digital, and social media
- Create an inventory, identify and close gaps, and prepare a plan to reuse relevant content
- Prepare a strategy to improve your reach across social media channels. The larger your network, the more likely it is that your content will reach the intended recipients.
- Measure and analyze the impact of your content. Understand which content is driving the highest levels of engagement with your prospects and customers, and then plan to optimize in this direction.
Integrate SEO, Social, PPC and other Digital Tactics
Develop a consistent message across all your content assets. Use social media to promote your content across multiple channels. Leverage its growing importance in search engine optimization (SEO). Visually express ideas and populate your LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+ accounts.
Convert your text content into interesting presentations that can be uploaded on SlideShare and other similar sites. Then share the link through your social media channels and blogs. Integrate social sharing across all your online marketing assets.
Content is the Lifeblood of Online Marketing
Readers will only visit your blog or website or video channel if your post fresh and compelling content on a regular basis. Reuse your content across all channels. Convert multiple blogs into an ebook or vice versa. Articles and white papers can be converted into multiple blogs. And all of these artifacts can be re-purposed into an audio-visual format or a podcast or webinar. This will help you reach various types of audiences and increase your online visibility.
