Content marketing has changed a lot over the past 5 years alone. What used to work is no longer reliable – even when you are putting in the effort. Have you noticed that:
- Social media is not as effective anymore?
- Your website traffic is down overall?
- Even your best blog posts don’t get shared as much?
- People aren’t opening your email newsletters as much?
Now that content marketing is mainstream, it has started to lose some of its potency. With tons of people employing the same strategies and tactics, this makes sense. We have to up our game to set ourselves apart.
Episode 156 is a roadmap for starting to think differently about the common fail points of today’s digital marketing. Listen to it right here or in your favorite pod player.
