The Mequoda Key Metrics Dashboard will help you manage content marketing efforts
What criteria are you using to determine if your content marketing efforts are successful?
Many online publishers are having difficulties adopting a content marketing strategy, let alone measuring its success.
In the Mequoda Daily yesterday, we discussed seven suggestions for content marketing that can be used by any online-based business. All seven suggestions can be utilized throughout the various principles of a content marketing strategy.
After using these suggestions and engaging in content marketing, it’s important to decipher the success of your campaigns.
Content in and of itself is very subjective. One person might love an article you create while others think it’s the worst thing you’ve ever written. As online publishers we are all in the business of creating content to drive our businesses – so how can you determine if your content, which is subjective, is producing positive results?
Thankfully the Internet allows even the most subjective of topics to be measured in an objective fashion. We are able to understand the overall health of online businesses by measuring what can manage be managed. Doing so will alert you when problems or opportunities arise.
To properly track your operating statistics, begin by utilizing the Mequoda Key Metrics Dashboard.
