In 2017, it became harder than ever before to write content that would rank for organic search terms or get shared on social media.
Marketers now release over 2 million new blog posts every day!
Most marketing topics have been covered extensively by thousands of bloggers from across the world. Most of these blog posts are junk, but they do make it difficult for searchers to find the information that they are looking for.
Marketers are forced to fight over ever-diminishing returns for their content marketing efforts. We wanted to learn how to escape this game and create memorable content for prospects.
It is easy to continue to repeat your content formula over and over, and watch as it becomes less effective. We were curious to see which pieces of content revealed new strategies that better matched the problems that prospects faced.
So, we polled top digital marketers to find articles that have gotten a disproportionately positive response from their audience. Here are their most popular posts.
