Effective Methods to Improve Your Writing Style

Let’s face it: being an expert in your field does not make you an expert at writing about it. Even for the best writers, creating a variety of content on a continuous basis can be a challenge. For marketers who don’t consider writing their strongest suit, the task seems outright daunting.

Taking Your Blog Up a Notch

Fellow Bloggers: You’ve taken the leap. Now, it’s time to swim!
Last week, in our Step by Step Guide to Start Blogging, we talked about getting started on your blog. Here, we’ll continue to expand on those methods and add a few new insights to your plate.

Blogging 101

In the world of content marketing, starting a blog feels like a rite of passage. As any marketer will attest, there's a saturation of different blogs out there: from lifestyle to education, recipes to fan clubs.

B2B Content CAN Be Funny

As a rule of thumb, B2B marketing should avoid certain false steps or ‘faux-pas.’ The list includes attributes like being vague, presumptuous, or ill-researched. But somewhere along the way, marketers added "humorous"" to that list. Why?

Humour in Content Marketing

"Why did the SEO expert cross the road? To get hit with traffic!"¹

For years, humour has been used in literature and content to engage audiences. From Shakespeare to Einstein, many notable figures in history used humour as a means to relay complicated or niche messages.

Content Marketing Strategy Powered by Data and On-Page SEO Tools

A marketer’s dream is to develop meaningful connections with their audience.

Your Guide to Using Search Intent

Search Intent, also known as keyword intent, is a way to optimize your content to attract more qualified leads through search engines. People search, process, and use the results of their online searches differently based on their goals (whether that is to buy a product or just gain more information). It is, therefore, essential for digital marketers and businesses that use SEO to understand and optimize their keyword usage according to what their target audience usually searches for.

Your mission as digital marketers is to ensure that if your product or service is what the consumer is looking for, their search leads them to you!

Creating good quality content is time-consuming and takes a lot of creative energy. However, a constant stream of content is essential to establish and maintain your position of authority in your market. Ongoing content marketing drives engagement and awareness for your business, brand, or agency.

Committing to A Long-Term Content Marketing Plan

If you asked the average person about digital content marketing 10 years ago, they might have shrugged and written it off. Content marketing used to be reserved for big companies trying to appeal to a new generation online. Today the online landscape is very different: companies big and small have websites, blogs and social media channels. Having a presence isn’t enough: to be successful online, you need a sound content marketing plan with measurable return on investment.
