If you are a business owner of a company that is not seeing results from your Content Marketing, there could be a number of reasons for this failure to convert. One possible reason is that your content all looks the same and lacks variety. It’s really important that you do not bore your prospects.
First of all, its great that you are creating content on a regular basis. Well done!
This will stand you in good stead in the minds of your target audience and will improve your performance on search engines. If you have also got into the habit of promoting your content on Social Media, this is another positive achievement. Clearly, you are taking steps to reach your content marketing goals. However, if you forget to add variety into your content creation process it will all appear quite similar. In my experience, one of the best ways to keep your audience engaged is to introduce variety into your pieces of content.
Variety in Your Content Marketing
If your regular content is usually a written blog post, why not introduce video interviews or podcasts? As an ambassador for your company it should be relatively easy to find relevant podcasts or radio stations that would like to interview you. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, nominate someone on your team. Once you or they have appeared on the podcast or radio show your interview will make for an interesting piece of content on your website. In many cases, it will allow your audience to feel more connected with you and your company because videos and podcasts help bring your brand to life and demonstrate your company’s values and personality.
What Other Types of Content Work Well?
Review the content produced by your competitors or others in similar industries, you’ll find that everyone has some written content on their website. However, not everyone has podcast interviews, videos of keynote presentations, video testimonials from happy clients, videos of panel discussions or audio clips of appearances of radio shows. Creating varied content like this will raise the profile of you personally and your business. You will be able to differentiate yourself from your competitors; no longer will you be just another law firm or accountancy firm, for example.

To demonstrate that I practice what I preach, here’s a few examples, I appeared on this Business radio show on in October 2013 and on this American podcast in Dec 2013. I have also uploaded around 250 videos
