First of all apologies for not writing articles in a few months, the reason being, I was busy setting up my own company, yeah, finally its coming, Alhamdulliah, wait for the official announcement, InshaAllah.  Then a sudden trip to Izmir, in Turkey (my first Travel Blog is also coming soon) for an assignment. Looks like from now on, you might all be treated with quality contents as some creative bloggers are joining the MyBlogs bandwagon, stay tuned.
Nearly all traditional marketing and advertising strategies were based on short-term gains.

An effective content marketing campaign will increase your organic search traffic, it’s time to change your SEO and PR agencies if they are not producing worthy contents across all platforms. It’s not adequate to just be creating content – to be publishing blogs and newsletters, and producing webinars and podcasts. Rather, brands have to be consistently producing and sharing really great material. Brands should continue to act as publications to win the race among competitors to inform their customers and become trusted sources.  Content marketing era isn’t about storytelling; it’s about telling a true story well.
Hopefully, you’re familiar with the concept of compound interest – as your investment earns interest, your principal grows and you earn more interest with each subsequent round of compounding. Content works much the same way, since it’s more or less “PERMANENT.”
Content marketing may be a long-term strategy, but the sooner you start investing in it, the sooner you’ll begin experiencing the benefits – and conversely, the longer you wait to get started, the longer it will take. If you presently have no content strategy whatsoever, it’s time to make one. Whether it helps you independently or as a backbone for your other inbound marketing strategies, you’ll be glad you did.
