Content Definition

The content we take just heard someone say that we need to do “Content Marketing” to boost our sales.

And we get the idea that we must already know what it is because everyone is talking about it.

But we don’t even know what exactly content is, and we are too embarrassed to ask anyone.

And content is the presentation of any information audience and purpose through the channel in some form.

It can include anything and everything. It can use the text on our website, an image, video on social media, and even webinars and live videos.

What are the Content Breaks Components?

• The above-gives definition of ‘content’ breaks down into four components:
• Information
• And audience
• Purpose
• Channel
• The key to its successful communication through content is identifying and optimizing each of these elements.
• It blog takes us through each one of them to better understand what content is and how we can operationalize it to achieve the purpose we bear in mind.

1. Information

• What idea do we plan to send out?
• What’s the information we want to give?
• It should be consistent across all forms you will use for that particular idea. Also, it avoids any confusion that may arise in the mind of our audience.
• As we talk about here, information is a combination of the essential ideas our audience needs to know near and the key details to back the individual’s pictures up.

2. Audience

• It helps us define the tone, visual appeal, and details for presenting that particular information.
• We often create content without fully understanding our audience, which gets us in trouble later.
• We need to identify the people we want to reach, the problems, and the questions that might arise after receiving our information.

3. Purpose

• Why are we sending out this information?
• What we want our audience to think? And do and feel after they receive our information?
• Communication is most effective when the information design to achieve the specific goal.
• And taking the clear goal enhances our content for communicating the information to resonate with our audience.

4. Channel

• How will you get your content to your audience?Don’t post your content on Instagram if the people you want to give the information to are on Linkedin.
• Start with listing down all the channels our different sets of audience tunes into and for what purpose.
• It helps us figure out the degree to which different channels best serve ‘our’ purpose. Then, narrow down the list even more by focusing on the media.
• That most effectively targets the kind of people we want to reach with our information.
