101 Different Types of Content for Your Content Marketing Plan
Tom Armitage
We keep hearing it over and over again: “Content is King. Content is King!” And it’s true. Content is the single best way to drive people to your website today. Various types of content, strategically connected to your brand, can work wonders in capturing the attention of consumers and leading them in your direction. But you have to provide some sort of value. Teach them something. Entertain them. Do something that makes it worth their while. That’s where you have the opportunity to tell them about your brand and what you can do for them.
I always encourage my clients to create boatloads of great content. That’s when they say: “Well, we already blog, so what more can we do?” Ahhh yes. I’m so glad you asked. Because in fact, there’s actually 100 more things you can do.
I’ve compiled a list of 101 things that can act as content on your website.
Some are standalone, some work together, but most importantly, they can all be promoted on the social web and be used as resources to drive your target audience to your website. Content will help attract traffic, accumulate more social shares, improve SEO efforts, and more. Your end goal is to leverage these types of materials so you can do a better job at educating or entertaining your audience to sell your products or services, strengthen your brand, or both.
