It&#8217;s classified as a form of inbound marketing because of its ability to attract prospects indirectly. Common channels used for content marketing include websites, blogs, forums, social media networks and video-sharing websites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search Engine Traffic<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2438 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/google-search-seo-digital-marketing-300x212.png\" alt=\"google search, seo, digital marketing\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sarahban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/google-search-seo-digital-marketing-300x212.png 300w, http:\/\/sarahban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/google-search-seo-digital-marketing-1024x723.png 1024w, http:\/\/sarahban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/google-search-seo-digital-marketing.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By publishing high-quality content on your MLM website, you&#8217;ll encourage higher search rankings. According to a study cited by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/marketing-statistics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HubSpot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 72 percent of marketers rank content marketing as the single most effective search engine optimization (SEO) strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Google uses hundreds of factors in its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/8-major-google-algorithm-updates-explained-282627\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ranking algorithm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, content quality and relevance is one of the most influential. So, publishing content to your website will help you achieve higher search rankings, which means more traffic and customers. If you want to reap these SEO benefits, however, you should choose a professional content marketing service instead of doing it yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A benefit of content marketing that&#8217;s often overlooked is trust. Prospects are often reluctant to buy a product or service they haven&#8217;t used in the past. But if they trust the website or brand promoting it, they are more likely to buy it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content marketing can help you win the trust of your target audience. If you publish informative, engaging content, prospects will view you as being a thought leader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social Shares<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2439 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/social-media3-300x106.jpg\" alt=\"social media3\" width=\"300\" height=\"106\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sarahban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/social-media3-300x106.jpg 300w, http:\/\/sarahban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/social-media3-1024x362.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/sarahban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/social-media3.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content marketing also attracts social media shares.
