1. Don’t make these 2 mistakes

We are seeing a trend toward creating the wrong content. It stems from a bit of the “crank-it-out” mentality and not following a documented content marketing strategy. We are seeing more created for the wrong audience, resulting in more low-quality leads. The default seems to be creating:
