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
