10 types of content that make your content marketing successful

On what does the success of your content marketing depend? The success of your content marketing depends on two things:

1. How relevant your content is
2. How you make sure that your content reaches the right audience

Both these factors are interdependent. The second factor is self-explanatory. I mean, once you have created high-quality, relevant content, you need to use all the channels at your disposal to disseminate your content and make sure it reaches the right audience.

Before I proceed, how do you define a successful content marketing?

1. You create high-quality, relevant content on an ongoing basis, for a long time
2. Your content reaches the right audience
3. Your content elicits the right response from the right audience

What’s the right response?

1. People read/view your content
2. People respond to your content
3. People share your content on social media websites
4. Your sales increase
