Why content promotion is essential Good content can go a long way in effectively building brand recall and trust with a brand’s target audience. This has made content marketing a key ingredient in every business’ digital marketing strategy. With all marketers the world over dishing out content to reach, inform, engage, educate and connect to their target audience to build their brand, the amount of content produced on a daily basis has grown exponentially. Sure, the internet population has grown as well, but content creation and publishing is growing at a rate much faster than the growth in internet connectivity. In fact, as per a recent AOL and Nielsen report, over 27,000,000 pieces of content are shared everyday! Even if we assume that only 1% of this content is great content, that’s a really huge number of great content pieces being published everyday! In such a scenario, it is critical to ensure that content cuts through the clutter and reaches the audience it has been created for. Content amplification strategies Simply ideating, creating and publishing content does not work anymore and content distribution requires as much, if not more, effort as content creation. A word of caution here though – content amplification works best for content that has been ideated and created keeping in mind the interests and needs of the target audience. So, here are 13 content amplification strategies you can use to effectively promote your content. If there are any content distribution channels which you have tried that could be added to the list, do let us know in the comments below.
