Create a Content and Blog Strategy that Keeps Readers Coming Back for More.
Why Invest Time in a Content Strategy?
For some, creating a content marketing strategy might seem like an obvious move. But according to the Content Marketing Institute, only 37% of B2B brands that regularly blog are using a documented content marketing strategy.
This means that the majority of B2B sales blogs risk numerous issues that can throw a wrench in any content process. With no content calendar, for example, it's easy to fall into the trap of directionless content. Not using a keyword strategy? Then how will potential customers find you?
Your business needs a content strategy because it provides direction and purpose for every single step in your content creation process. An effective blog strategy can keep you posting regularly, ensure the creation of helpful content, guide future efforts through performance analysis and much more.
What Makes a Great Content Strategy?
There is no single perfect content strategy - a strategy needs to be as unique as your business itself to yield success. Even so, there are essential components that the best blog strategies share.
Your content marketing strategy should include these items and more:
- Buyer personas: Who are you writing for?
- Goals: Why are you blogging?
- Keywords: How do you plan to rank?
- Promotion: How will you spread the word?
- Schedule: How often will you post?
- Analytics: How will you measure ROI?
If this sounds like a lot of work, rest assured - it will be. But the results a strong strategy yields are worth the investment of time and effort.
