As a result, marketing is no longer what it was. In the last few years there has been a shift towards inbound marketing while traditional marketing techniques have taken a hit. Sure, outbound marketing still works, but it\u2019s not as pervasive as it was a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>These days, many small businesses are finding out that creating and distributing their own original content costs far less than paid banner ads, media buys or newspaper center spreads and produces even better results.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/flower-crown.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-769\" alt=\"Flower Crowns Rule\" src=\"http:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/flower-crown.jpg\" width=\"526\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/flower-crown.jpg 526w, https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/flower-crown-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/flower-crown-400x224.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Businesses are not only generating more revenues, they are also building tribes and enhancing their reach for a fraction of the usual costs.<\/p>\n<p>Given that content has become an integral aspect of marketing online and tons of businesses are adopting it as part of their marketing strategy \u2013inevitably resulting in the abundance of mediocre content- what can you do to make sure your content stands out and beats the pack?<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s simple really: <i>Write Epic, Unforgettable Content<\/i>!<\/h2>\n<p>I believe this bears repeating over and over again. When it comes to creating and promoting your content this year and beyond, your mantra should be: the best content in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Smart business owners who adopt this will find their websites ranking higher on the search engines, enjoy increased social mentions, get traffic from multiple sources other than the search engines and most importantly, build an audience\/community that\u2019s fiercely both loyal to their brand and willing to spend even more money on the business\u2019\u00a0 products and services.<\/p>\n<p>This year, resolve to do away with mediocre content. No one likes it. Here\u2019s a measurable yardstick you can use to tell if your content is awesome: People should rave about, share, bookmark and distribute your content. If your audience isn\u2019t doing that, they you\u2019re doing it all wrong.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do you need to create absolutely superb content every time?<\/p>\n<h2>Research Like Your Life Depends on it<\/h2>\n<p>Let me ask you a quick question: if you were diagnosed with a deadly disease \u2013 hopefully, you won\u2019t be, just play along with me here \u2013\u00a0and you wanted to seek alternative therapies, how much research would you do?<\/p>\n<p>How many naturopaths would you consult with? How many options would you consider? Would you consider combining conventional treatment methods with alternative medicine? Think of just how far you\u2019d go to find the <i>right<\/i> information and <i>apply <\/i>that same approach to all content that you\u2019ll be creating this year.<\/p>\n<p>Listen, it\u2019s better to create two well researched and well written blog posts a week than ten drivels masked as content. Find reputable references \u2013 I\u2019d choose references and stats from Harvard Business Review over one back alley publication \u2013\u00a0and accurate information. Make sure that whatever you\u2019re giving your audience this year, is nothing short of the best.<\/p>\n<h2>Multipurpose Your Content<\/h2>\n<p>You probably know this already, but it bears repeating again. Create and convert your content into multiple formats like pdfs, powerpoints, images, videos, podcasts and so on. It\u2019s no longer enough to have your content in just one format.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-empt your audience and give them what they want. If you\u2019re creating a video, please make sure there\u2019s a transcript or even a downloadable pdf that your visitors can read on the go if they don\u2019t have time to watch your video.<\/p>\n<p>If you have never used infographics, now is the time to start incorporating them into your content. A picture can often be more powerful than a thousand words, and the best part is it doesn\u2019t take more than 2-3 minutes to digest the content.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody ever said your content must be in text format to be appreciated. If you\u2019re uncomfortable with showing your face, get a screen capture software like Camtasia or create the content and outsource the script reading to someone on Fiverr.<\/p>\n<p>Again, be the best this year and nothing less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many small businesses are finding out that creating and distributing their own original content costs far less
