Content marketing is one term that
has captured the imagination of online marketers and some have mastered the art
of it while some are still struggling with their application issue. Why? You
can speak to the large number of marketing people who understand the importance
of digital marketing and they shall tell you one thing “Content is king”.
Everyone understands the importance of digital infrastructure but nobody seems
to pay attention to the importance of content to feed that infrastructure.
Many a times its because the
company or organization still thinks about content in a “old-fashioned way”,
send out a press release, buy an ad and tell your story. Victor Abolas, who
runs the JVA Group in Los Angeles, says Real content marketing is “part advertising,
part public relations, part news”. Now the clients who understand it and invest
in it are ahead of the game as it is a game that everyone has to be a part of
in the near future.
Abolas also shows some light on
the fact that if you aren’t refreshing your content, your website will be less
likely to be seen, your social media shall stagnate and you will be over
crossed by your competitors.
The Embedded Logic
Your ultimate motive is to
make as many people as possible to go to your website and see the offerings.

are looking for new, fresh content. Your entire ability of webpage standard is
dependent on content.

understood.

some you shall be failing terribly. So treat it simple and keep enjoying its
