ROI is an extremely important aspect (result) of your business and even though you will not be obsessed with the revenue part of it, it is important, at the same time, that you don’t lose sight of it either.
You may have written the most amazing content marketing materials but how do you know that it is actually giving you any sort of return on investment and that it is as effective and valuable as you need it to be?
The analysis of your competitors is critical to your success. You will want to keep in mind that you can learn a lot from your competition and they are an essential part of your professional success. Understanding your competitors’ strengths and weaknesses will help you to understand what you need to do with your own business.
The keywords and key phrases that you choose to put into your content are critical to your success. They will make or break your business. If they are effective, the search engines will react to them in a positive manner. On the other hand, if they are not effective, you won’t make any progress at all.
Without tracking the results of your social media efforts, you won’t really have a clear understanding of how you are doing. Are your efforts really paying off? The only way to know for sure is to capture the results using an analytics tool.
When you write and post content, there are several different results that you expect to achieve. One of those results is engagement with your readers. Ironically, that is the easy part. What is much more difficult is measuring the engagement in a way that gives you a clear understanding if what you are doing is working effectively.
You are diligent and consistent with your content and you stick to your posting schedule. Of course, it also goes without saying that your content is top-quality as well. However, you still need to determine if your content is having a positive effect on your business.
If you have been in business for any length of time, you probably understand that it is very important for you to gather analytics on your social media marketing efforts. There are various elements that you, as the business owner, will want to concentrate on. You know that gathering analytics is important but you may not understand why.
Your initial goal in business is that people become your customers and buy what you are selling and/or your existing customers buy what you are selling over and over again. You need to capture how they are using what they buy from you and apply it to your business growth.
When it comes to your content marketing materials, of course, the quality of your content must be established and consistent. People come to expect that from you and you must ensure that you provide that level of content always. So, how do you take your content marketing materials and transition them into KPIs?
