Everyone is into content marketing these days. You can’t do well with Google or directly with people without creating valuable online content. Content, however, is one thing.
Content that actually works as marketing is another.
Let’s look at the five traits that matter most:
1. Empathy
The biggest mistake most people (and many marketers) make is failing to put people in their own shoes
2. Curiosity
It’s boring to talk about research, but to content marketing superstars, it’s actually a treat to do it.
3. Observation
Curiosity, research, and observation go hand in hand, but what we’re talking about now is something that takes it to the next level.
4. Packaging
Seeing a topic in a unique way is the first step to packaging information in a better way.
5. Caring
Yes, great content marketers care. They care about getting people to truly understand, because without understanding the prospective customer or client cannot grasp the benefit to them, and there’s no opportunity for persuasion.
