Social Media Content Marketing Advice from Experts
According to Global WebIndex, “58.4% of the world’s population uses social media,” and the average usage is “2 hours and 27 minutes” per day. Thus, it’s a hotbed for finding prospects and buyers.

Snackable Content
With the average attention span only lasting about 8 seconds, you have barely enough time to capture someone’s attention, let alone present new information to them. Snackable content, such as infographics, makes it easy to share information in a visually appealing and easily digestible way. Learn more about snackable content and see examples of businesses using it in Copyhacker’s blog post.

The video platform supplies endless amounts of short video content for its audience and offers the most organic reach for marketers to build up their audience quickly. Given these facts, the social app is an excellent source to generate leads and sales. Read Social Media Examiner’s article to discover content strategies for leads and sales.
