3.Be Relevant:

Being relevant is the content sweet spot! It’s the intersection of what you want to talk about and what your audience wants. A lot of brands don’t really get this part of the content plan.

4.Use the content marketing funnel to drive sales:

Content marketing can have a huge impact on the customer journey. At each stage of the journey, you should use different channels and content:

Consideration

Evaluation

Purchase

Post-purchase

5. Establish your content pillars:

The content pillars should be a blend of both brand and commercial drivers. One pillar could be a hub and spoke model where you can drive traffic to a website, and increase keyword rankings and metrics like leads or sales.

6.Develop a push-and-pull approach:

The push-and-pull approach is valuable to brands as a strategy to communicate with consumers.

Push:

This technique is about a brand tooting its own horn and promoting a product or service. For example, pushing out your content via all the social media channels you’re using, as well as your podcast or webinar series. The aim is to capture data through a download or sign-up or gain followers.

Pull :

The aim here is to attract people to your website, product or service and create loyal customers that advocate on your behalf. This relies on website and SEO optimization, and referrals that link to your content (blog or otherwise).

7.Use a hub-and-spoke model:

The hub-and-spoke model helps you generate content in a focused way around a broad topic. It’s a great way to build relevance and authority on a topic/s while also helping you increase keyword rankings, traffic, and metrics like conversions, leads, and sales.

8.Create data-capture content:

Develop engaging and informative content that reflects your brand identity and addresses audience needs effectively.

9.Amplify your brand using advocates:

With customers becoming less inclined to trust advertising (64% take action to avoid ads on free and ad-supported video services), advocates, or ambassadors, are a powerful way to cut through the noise and get your brand noticed.

10. Set KPIs and measure success:

In your content marketing, it’s essential to set Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure success. It's the only way that you will know if your content marketing strategy is working and gain insight into what content is driving sales.
