Strategy comes in when you create content knowing exactly what you want to achieve.  Randomly creating articles and blog posts may give you lots of content and it may also get you more traffic but in terms of conversion you won&#8217;t see good results because when you don&#8217;t know what to do with your content, neither do your visitors.  Publishing content without a strategy is like throwing darts in the darkness hoping that one of them will hit the bull&#8217;s-eye.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you have a massive advertising and PR budget content marketing is the best tool you have got.
