What Is Content Marketing?
Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach that involves creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and engage a specific target audience. It is a way of communicating with your target audience without directly selling your products or services.
Content marketing encompasses various forms of content, including blog posts, articles, videos, social media posts, podcasts, infographics, ebooks, whitepapers, case studies, and more.

FAQ’s
What is the difference between content strategy and content marketing strategy?
Instead of looking at the difference between content strategy and content marketing strategy look at how the two can work together to make it run smoothly and deliver the best customer experience.
Think of the content strategy part as the planning aspect. That starts with the discovery phase; identifying your ideal customers, what content they consume and where they consume it. It should establish which channels you need to be across, how do these fit in with your ultimate goals and help you create sustainable and consistent messaging on every medium.
Following that, the content marketing strategy should then put the wheels in motion and distribute your content. This is the part where you find relevant bloggers, journalists etc to write about your product. It is crucial to build relationships and networks at this stage as it will help you get consistent and sustained coverage. Then you can amplify that on the relevant social channels decided in the content strategy.
What is content curation, and what is the right way to implement it into your content marketing strategy?
With that in mind, the first thing to do is define your topic. This has to be something your customers will find interesting/engaging. The information you curate has to be relevant and useful to your audience, whether that is industry news, customer reviews, top 10 lists, interviews, presentations the list is endless.
Once you have established your audiences’ interests, it’s then time to collect the content. With vast mediums of digital content now readily available, it is easy to obtain interesting content from videos, articles, webinars, social media posts, infographics etc. Utilising the best content out there will help your audience find answers efficiently and reward you with higher engagement levels.
Adding your voice is the next step. Let the audience know why they should engage with the content you curated and how they can get the most out of it.
Then publish it! Again, keeping your customers in mind, which marketing channels gets the best engagement from?
What are the best questions to ask before starting with a content marketing strategy?
Firstly, who exactly is your target audience? Is there an age range? Is it gender specific? Are you targeting children, teenagers, adults? Build the best picture possible of the target audience.
What’s the main purpose/goal? This could be to increase sales, create brand awareness, collect new leads, drive traffic to the website.
There are endless possibilities of what this could be, but it is important to define a specific goal/purpose before starting a campaign.
Answering these questions will help you achieve your goals quicker.
How to improve your content distribution strategy?
Simply sharing on social platforms or the website isn’t really enough to get maximum reach. Pitching the content to relevant industry newsletters should be part of your distribution plans. If the content is good, you should have no issue getting coverage from industry newsletters, as most are usually on the lookout for quality relevant content. Should you fail though, ask what content they are usually interested in and maintain good relationships with the editors – this will increase your chances of future coverage.
Don’t be scared to pitch to top publishers too, but it is important not to make your story too much like an advertisement or promotion. Instead, an interesting angle or opinion is much more interesting and likely to be picked up.
Make sure the content isn’t too technical for the masses because the audience for top publications is obviously very different to industry related publications.
Recycling content is also a potential avenue to explore. This does not mean posting the content as it is again though. Looking for a new angle, changing the format (e.g. using a different infographic) or posting on new channels are all ways of recycling content and gaining more coverage.
What do you need to think about when you a develop content strategy?
What questions do you need to ask? What data can you use to answer these questions? What kinds of things do you wish you knew already? How do you think about social media marketing for instance?
Try to think about this in terms of a large business’ staff member (a developer) who has to create a new tool for its social media managers, what should he build? What would you find useful to know?
All content created should align with what services or products you are promoting. So if you are promoting a specific product the content you create should either teach, educate or inform something that lends a prospect to realising they need the relevant service you actually offer. So if you’re selling a horse training manual, your content should be aligned with training horses (i.e. common misconceptions, best methods and the other myths etc).
