Connecting Content to Your Audience

We all want our target audience to consume the content we create — why else would we create it? People consume content that resonates with their needs and wants.  They like companies that provide solutions to their problems.  Creating content that’s more than boilerplate how-to’s can be difficult.  Duct Tape Marketing has some tips on how to create content that connects with your target audience…

Clients enjoy original content because they find it useful, informative, and entertaining. They should also feel that it is being written by people that understand them. Of course there are many facets to any individual, but, as English poet John Donne succinctly put it, “no man [or woman] is an island.” Look for the common bonds between a business and its clients that go beyond services rendered. Here the type of valuable relationships that benefit both parties are formed. — 3 Tips for Creating a Strong Connection between Audience and Content by Steve Giangola

Consumer Social Sharing

The hope and dream of all content creators is that their content will be shared so that it can be seen by more people.  How, when and why people share content is extremely important to marketers because it will help form not only where you post your content, but also when and what content you post.  Jason Falls over at Social Media Explorer has a nice analysis of ShareThis’ quarterly report on how content has been shared across the web….

Unfortunately, clear understanding of share metrics is hard to come by. Installing share buttons on your website provided by the social networks don’t often provide analytics to go along with them. Your website analytics only go so far. So we have to rely on sharing tool companies and their aggregated data to understand this critical component to our communications efforts. — Understanding Consumer Sharing by Jason Falls

Social Media Hype for 2014

Everyone and their grandma is writing a post about the trends for social media in 2014… which is good, but I think we may be on the brink of something different.  Social media is definitely mainstream — that happened a couple of years ago.  But we’re starting to see more people become annoyed enough with sites like Facebook that try to control information that they’re seeking alternatives.  Facebook isn’t going away in 2014, but I think we’ll start to see other ways that people try to communicate with their friends.  Snapchat and Instagram are all the rage right now — but that just proves the point.  People will go where their friends go and to places that let them communicate the way they want.  Be on the lookout for new sites and technologies that let people communicate — that’s where the trends will take us in 2014.

Eric Tung over at Social Media Explorer has a great round up of more macro trends to watch for:

While some folks are still figuring out SoLoMo, Social Graph or Owned-Paid-Earned, these are the larger trends at play. Businesses and marketers need to understand how these trends affect users to be prepared for these major shifts in Social Media. — THE SIX BIGGEST TRENDS IN SOCIAL THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND by Eric Tung
