Do align your content with the buyer stages<\/h3>\n<p>You probably got the memo by now, but understanding how your content falls into the buyer\u2019s journey is seriously important. Pushing late-stage content when a buyer is still in the early stage will be a turn-off. \u00a0These are the buyer stages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educate<\/li>\n<li>Consider<\/li>\n<li>Decide<\/li>\n<li>Delight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The goal with each is identical\u00a0<span id=\"isPasted\">\u2014<\/span>\u00a0prioritize your buyer\u2019s needs from the first interaction with your brand until they decide to become your customer. Then keep empowering their success.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Do create content for each of your personas<\/h3>\n<p>Personas are marketing code for \u201cknowing your audience.\u201d A<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/resources\/buyer-personas\/\">\u00a0buyer persona development exercise<\/a>\u00a0will help your content marketing team produce relevant content that resonates with each unique buyer.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Do optimize everything<\/h3>\n<p><span id=\"isPasted\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The higher your content ranks, the more traffic you get. And this is a crowded content world. To stand out, your content needs to rank well. From<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/resources\/keywords-that-rank-on-google\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">topic keyword research<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0to on-page optimization, following SEO best practices improve content relevance, increases performance, and attracts and converts qualified leads over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Do know what type of content writer you need<\/h3>\n<p>To fulfill your content vision, it takes content writers who specialize. Asking a social media rock star to write a long-form piece will not work well for anyone. Make sure to work with a writer that can match your needs. Below are the most popular types of content writers:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Blog writer<\/li>\n<li>Brand journalist<\/li>\n<li>Copywriter<\/li>\n<li>Ghostwriter<\/li>\n<li>Technical writer<\/li>\n<li>Social media writer<\/li>\n<li>Email writer<\/li>\n<li>Scriptwriter<\/li>\n<li>Long-form content writer<\/li>\n<li>Ad and promo writer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>5. Do leverage all the data<\/h3>\n<p>Leveraging data is one of the most important tools in your content marketing strategy. It enables you to understand what content resonates most with your target market, allowing you to tailor your strategies for maximum impact.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Content-Marketing_Donts.png\" alt=\"Five content marketing don'ts\" width=\"820\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Content-Marketing_Donts.png 820w, https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Content-Marketing_Donts-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Content-Marketing_Donts-768x272.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Five Content Marketing Don&#8217;ts<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Don\u2019t create self-serving content<\/h3>\n<p>Do you want to read a 1,000-word advertisement? Neither does anyone else. If you follow the do&#8217;s we just covered, you will be golden. You know who your buyers are and how to speak to them, so create something they want to see and hear.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Don\u2019t produce anything without a content strategy<\/h3>\n<p>There are so many approaches to building a content strategy. The point is&#8230; have one! Without a plan, you will flounder \u2014 and eventually \u2014 fail. You must align your team and efforts around your big-picture strategy. A big misconception is that an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/resources\/create-content-calendar-workbook\/\">editorial calendar<\/a>\u00a0is a content strategy. It\u2019s not the strategy; it\u2019s the execution of that strategy.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Don\u2019t brainstorm topics alone or in silos<\/h3>\n<p>Two heads are better than one, so don\u2019t approach content topics alone or in silos. Enlist subject matter experts within your organization and customers and thought leaders outside your organization.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Don\u2019t forget to break up content visuals<\/h3>\n<p>Too much text jumbled together is brutal. And people have an insanely short attention span. Even if you do all the right things by optimizing and promoting your content, you still need to keep people engaged on the page. Visual content \u2014 whether images, infographics, or videos \u2014 are a great way to bring in some eye candy.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Don\u2019t sabotage your content efforts<\/h3>\n<p>They call it a &#8220;content machine&#8221; for a reason. You must keep fuel in the engine, or it will stop working. Content marketing will quickly overwhelm even the brightest, most capable marketing teams. Make sure you keep asking questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Am I publishing sporadically because I\u2019m taking on more than I can handle?<\/li>\n<li>Am I pushing forward and forgetting to celebrate the wins?<\/li>\n<li>Am I doing one-and-done content pieces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/resources\/guide-to-repurposing-content-for-seo\/\">instead of repurposing<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li>Am I sharing content once, and that\u2019s it?<\/li>\n<li>Am I choosing isolation over collaboration?<\/li>\n<li>Am I chasing my tail instead of working ahead?<\/li>\n<li>Am I in a feverish state of failure instead of feeling accomplished?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48758\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Content-Marketing_Level-Up.png\" alt=\"Taking your content marketing to the next level\" width=\"820\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Content-Marketing_Level-Up.png 820w, https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Content-Marketing_Level-Up-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Content-Marketing_Level-Up-768x272.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Taking Your Content Marketing to the Next Level<\/h2>\n<p>There are so many layers when it comes to the definition of content marketing.
