How quickly is your audience growing?

Have you been ramping up your audience development efforts at all?

Earlier this week I wrote an article discussing a major rule of content marketing that shouldn’t be broken. This rule is to always provide quality content and never mislead your audience by providing poor content disguised as advertisements for your products.

Presenting misleading and poor quality content has been referred to as spamducation, where you’re basically spamming potential audience members by inadequately educating them on topics of interest.

The real problem with providing poor or misleading information is that it won’t help your company in any way. Your reputation will not improve and you won’t garner new paying customers. Let’s face it, content consumers are savvier than most customers…and now that content marketing is the norm within the content industry, potential audience members will not blindly spend or fall victim to the consumption of poor content.

Personally, I’m thankful for it. The expectation of high-quality content forces all content producers and publishers to stay at the top of their game. This action will help create an online community of the highest caliber content.
