“Content is king.” This sentence has become old. The correct sentence is “Diverse content is king” or “Diversity is king.” There are dozens of other types of content that can be included and worked on, including but not limited to: case studies. Infographics.

Audio episodes - podcast. Educational videos. Live Lessons-Webinars.

Animated images - GIFs. Guidelines. And others... Think about the type that suits the target audience and start using it, and focus on diversity.

3- Ignoring the precise definition of the buyer’s personality. You may have heard a lot about the importance of accurately defining the user’s or buyer’s personality, but if all you know about the user or buyer is only job, age, country and field of work; So let me tell you, you don't know anything about your target buyer, at all! You should take your user or buyer research further, learn about their problems, challenges and motivators so you can produce content that they will love to read or see. You can determine your buyer persona through questionnaires, direct interviews, and others.

4- Content marketing means publishing the content after you have done the appropriate research, carefully studied the target audience, and produced a high-quality infographic (as an alternative to blogging), and then you clicked the “Publish” button and that’s it. In fact, it's not over yet, as Nigel McHugh says, “Content is king, but distribution is the queen in pants.” As long as the content does not reach the eyes of the target audience through various social networks, email, blogs, forums and other marketing channels, do not expect a significant impact from the content.

Spend 20% of your time creating content, and 80% distributing and publishing it. #Content Marketing
