OK, before you run off for that well-earned coffee, this isn’t just ‘another one of those content strategy blogs’.
Well, yes, it’s about content marketing strategy, but it looks at where you’re going wrong. Yup, I hate to say it, but you are probably barking up the wrong tree right now.
Ask yourself something – why are you producing the content you are producing? How are you measuring its effectiveness? How do you decide what type of content to put out?
Head spinning yet?
If you don’t have a well thought out content marketing strategy, you won’t be able to get the right content in the right format out to the right audience at the right time. It’s as simple as that.
To summarise, you’re just producing content for the sake of it.
So what should your strategy look at?
Things to consider when creating your content strategy
One thing I have noticed (and I am guilty of it too) is that most of the content produced by companies is in the written form. It’s things like blogs, articles, reports, e-newsletters etc.
Granted, writing is a great way to get your information across, but it’s also time consuming to read and, let’s face it, a bit boring.
Think about your audience and what it is that they might like. Mix it up a bit with infographics, videos, animations and even music. This kind of content is very shareable (when done well) and will help widen your reach.
