The thing about expert content marketing is it’s never static, which is probably why we love it so much!

There is a lot of content already out on the internet, so how can you make yours stand out? Companies like TrendsMark (@joinwptips) know how to come up with content that matters specifically to your audience. It all starts by answering their questions and solving their problems. Casting a wide net is easy, but won’t give you a very big impact in the end. Think narrow. Identify your brand, and ultimately ask, “Who cares?” Who really cares about what you have to say and offer?
