According to the above graphic, WordPress users publish 347 new blog posts every minute (and that was in 2012).

The tremendous amount of content being created has led to a sense of content fatiguefor users, and if you are not actively and strategically marketing your content, you wont reach your target audience.

As its name suggests, content marketing consists of two activities: creating content, and then marketing that content to your audience. Without the marketing portion youre just producing content that will be buried online. Content exists to serve a purpose, and it is useless if nobody ever sees it.

In content marketing, content aims to support marketing initiatives such as:

In order to accomplish your goals and be successful, you must leverage the content you create through intelligent marketing practices. Again, if no one ever finds your content it cannot serve any of these various functions.

There are a number of methods and channels to promote your content to your desired audience.

I was really impressed to see the category of Retain & Grow. Too often inSEO world, we focus on getting traffic to the site and the word Retain is forgotten.

First, letscover the basic elements that are a part of each of the task screens, and then we will dive deeper in to each area.

Once you start on the tasks youll notice the Effort and Impact boxes on the right of the screen. I think the expected time is a good guide, yet I want to draw your attention to the impact and point value.
