Content marketing can be an incredibly effective way to promote your business. However, if no one is reading or viewing your content, it does little good for your company.
But that’s the reality that many businesses are facing today. As more and more businesses are jumping on the content marketing trend, it can be harder to get noticed.
So, how do you stand out in a noisy and crowded market?
That’s the question Stan and I tackle in this week’s episode of the Pushing Social Podcast. It’s an important question and we give some great tips to help you address this issue.
Here are some of the things we cover in this
week’s show:
- How the content marketing landscape has changed in the past few years and why it’s harder to get noticed that ever before.
- Mark Schaefer’s “content shock” theory and what that means for businesses embarking on content marketing.
- Top reasons why companies are not getting noticed with their content.
- Does “getting noticed” mean you’re chasing pageviews, social media shares and comments? Or, is it something else?
- How to tell if content marketing is working for your business.
- How much time should you spend on creating content versus promoting content?
- Our favorite tactics for promoting your content.
And since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, we even share the best way to cook your turkey!
