Visual Content Marketing Optimization for Social Media and Blog | B2B How to Tips (Part 1) | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it
isual Content Marketing  Optimization for social media and blog will be shared in a two-part series.

Part 1 is on why visual content marketing is important for your B2B business, tools that you can use and tips from other businesses.

Part 2 of visual content marketing optimization is on how to optimize for search (engine) and experience (your audience).

Over the course of nearly eight years of doing social media for B2B companies, I have observed the transition of types of contents that are being consumed online. And in response, the media evolved as a response.

Infographics became the rage.

But now.

Videos are the rage.  And very much so.
