As digital marketers, we always rethink the content we produce. We analyse whether the target audience would relate to it or find it dull and boring, or in some cases not comprehend the message at all. We teach amateur marketers how to ideate simplified content for a larger audience demography. But what if we told…

When it comes to creating blog posts that reach a significant number of audience, bloggers and people at any content writing agency would probably advise you to have an account on WordPress. WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that runs on PHP and MySQL database servers.

More than 30% of the websites on the internet are being run by WordPress. WordPress offers its hostings for free. WordPress websites are based on the templates provided by the CMS but the possibilities of customizations are abundant on WordPress.
Are you an entrepreneur? Does your business have an online business card? Having an online business card is like having a proper online presence that informs the audience about your business. The most important type of online presence you can have is a business website. In today’s digital era, having a business website is more important than having a physical office space. You know why?

As your website is your online business card, make sure it has the following key elements suggested to make it a high-quality website.
Before I started working for a B2B content marketing agency, I thought good writing was all it took to rank articles on Google’s first page of search results.
I used to think SEO and PPC are pointless mumbo-jumbo thrown around by the SEO team to confound their bosses and ensure they aren’t deemed surplus to requirements.
All I knew about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) was that it is the process of making your content rank at the top of Google’s search results. And that PPC (Pay-per-click) is an advertising model where you pay for every time someone clicks on your promoted content or online ads.
When I started my career in B2B content marketing, I found out that they were exactly what I thought they would be — minus the pointless-mumbo jumbo bit.
Turned out, SEO and PPC are, in fact, among the most important aspects of content marketing, secondary only to the quality of the content you put out.
Search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising are two sides of the same content marketing coin. They are different ways to achieve the same objective — delivering your content to the right target audience.
So, how do they differ?
In the old days, even before the radio waves were discovered, which are now like the dark ages for us millennial populace, the social media which we know today was just the word of mouth and paper parchments. People persuasion, which we now take up to our Twitter profiles, used to happen through people who were known as heralds – the people standing on the pedestal with the common event calendar and announcements from the crown. Businesses would pay them every time they brought in something new for the masses. The heralds or influencers would then reach the people for them. While some would flock to the store, others would turn a deaf ear. The only measurement of ROI on the herald was the amount earned on the day the herald spoke. Although there was no need for further details, measuring your influence would have been easier back then. Today, the influence has been loaded up on social media for business and your audience has a lot of ways in which they react to your message for them. So how do you know if you’re doing well when you’re the herald yourself?
Social media for business is used by entrepreneurs to promote their content and facilitate increased customer engagement with their company. If you consistently post on social media to build your brand, it may be necessary for you to keep a few things in mind first.
If you’re here looking for a sure-shot secret formula to get your next Facebook post to the top of every user’s news feed, then I’m sorry to tell you that you’re at the wrong place.

N-O-W-H-E-R-E.
That’s because it does not exist.
And you probably already know that if you’ve had any experience using social media for business. While there is no guaranteed way to propel your posts to the pinnacle of Facebook fame, there are a few ways that can increase the likelihood of your posts reaching a large section of your target audience.

In the digital era, every organization is using social media for business to build brand awareness and generate leads.
