Just like the previous part of this write-up, I am again going to share few more mistakes and their
corrections. All this content is created
by discussing with the content
marketing experts so try to pay
heed to all the points mentioned below. These mistakes are very common and
silly mistakes but if you can correct and do not repeat them then there are
chances that you will rule the world of content marketing.
Mistake:
Teach instead of selling. The main idea of content marketing is
to guide the reader first then sell the product. But the common mistake we do
is that we start selling instead of guiding them.
Solution: My
marketing professor always taught us that firstly make people realize about
what are the problems they are facing then tell them how you can solve that
problem through your product. Similarly,
in content marketing, you should guide
the reader about what is the solution of the problem and whom should they
contact for the same. Anyhow by seeing your video or company’s name they will
visit you first only.
Mistake: No
research work. Content
marketing experts always say
that every word should be written only after a complete research on the topic
but people don’t do it. One should know what they are talking about before
writing the whole write-up.
Solution: Suppose
you wish to write an article on grammar usage in write-ups then it's better you do a thorough study on grammar
before writing the tips and the better option is keep a grammar book in front
of you for reference. Write
everything but only when you are sure that it is the right thing to say or write.
Mistake: Goal
Uncertainty. You wrote the content but didn’t know how it is going to be used
or why it is being used then the content is meaningless.
Solution: suppose
you are a movie director and the writer
gives you the script in the form of the article
instead of dialogues. Then that script is of no use to that director as it is
not meeting his goal of making the movie. Similarly,
whenever you write content think where it is going to be used and what for?
Else instead of helping the business it will take it on a downward spiral.
