Content promotion is an important element in your content marketing strategy. By choosing the right medium to enhance your online reach you can give visibility to your content.

Portent’s Stella Murphy has shared an article highlighting the process to creating a good media list for promoting your content.

Murphy says, “Your media lists should be targeted and specific. You’re trying to reach people who will share and link to your content, and they’ll only do that if your content is relevant to them in some way. Media lists should always target relevant contacts. When they do, you have a greater chance of getting coverage and links. Furthermore, the coverage will be relevant to your website and help you build more authority and credibility in your industry.
