What is Content Marketing?

According to Hubspot, Content Marketing is the process of planning, creating, distributing, sharing, and publishing content to reach your target audience. 

Why Content Marketing?  

Content marketing strategy as well as digital marketing strategy's tactic can help business to improve brand awareness, boost sales, connect with your target audience members, and engage prospects and customers. Content marketing is all about storytelling, we like to hear story and humans have told stories for as long as they could speak. Audiences attention will always go to those who tell great stories. A great and successful content marketing campaign needs a very good content, a Viral Content if you will. 

How to collect audience from Content Marketing

When we ask how to collect audience or getting the target audience, we need to ask some simple questions: 

Who are they? (not only their gender and age) 

What are their interests? 

Where do they consume content?

Using Audience insight to analyse your audience 

Demographic data can be useful, but you need to explore further to find out how to best connect to your audience, analytics data is a great starting point, you can discover information on demographics alongside segmentation of interests depending on your website and Google Analytics setup. 

Here are some other ways to discover your audience:

  • Social analytics and insight tools such as Facebook Insights, Twitter Analytics
  • Facebook groups with industry/community followers
