3 More Content Marketing Mistakes:
Mistake #4 You Got Lazy.
You got lazy and maybe a bit full of yourself because you thought publishing content was all you needed to do. You expected it to be shared organically. While this is definitely the goal, it doesn’t always happen. You have to push it. Publish it on social media and engage with people as much as possible. Push it to people you honestly think would be interested in it.
Mistake #5 You Didn’t Bait The Hook.
Your title/headline is the hook. You have to put solid effort into creating a title that is informative and interesting. People will decide whether to click or not based on the title above anything else. You can’t catch fish if you don’t bait the hook.
Mistake #6 You Didn’t Learn.
How do you know your content is working or not if you don’t pay attention to the analytics? Check in with those frequently and make a game plan to improve low views, clicks, and engagements. Find out what worked and what didn’t and make sure you adjust as you learn what your audience wants.
The Good News
The good news is you’re not out of the game yet. Go back to your content and review it with these things in mind. Did you make any of these mistakes? Fix them, re-publish, make better content next time and you’ll see what content marketing can really do for you and your brand.
