Generally
Skyscraper Content Misconceptions
According to Ahrefs, skyscraper content is “a link building strategy where you improve existing popular content and replicate the backlinks.” Much like infographics or listicles, skyscraper content can be a powerful method to increase traffic and attract your audience when implemented correctly. But some marketers are unknowingly misusing this method and negatively affecting the actual value of their content. Check out Content Marketing Institute’s article to learn the dos and don’ts of this technique to serve your readers better and increase internal metrics.
Take Notes
User-Generated Content Advertising
Building trust is critical to a relationship between a consumer and a business. User-generated content (UGC) is a sure-fire way to establish confidence in buying your product because many customers often look at reviews before they purchase. Consumer Acquisition reported that 20% to 50% of ads outperform other types of ads. View more statistics and helpful tips for your UGC advertising on this infographic.
2022 Graphic Design Techniques
One of the goals of social media marketing is to stand out from other content crowding social feeds. The right visuals can capture your audience’s attention and boost user engagement.
