Episode 3 - research

Want to launch your content into the stratosphere?

The most shareable and link-worthy content you can create is original research. The insights you uncover can result in one-of-a-kind content that delivers incomparable success in search and social media.

Discussing this strategy made for a fun 21-minute conversation in this, our first Content Matters program of the New Year.

Episode #3:
Research: The Most Valuable Form of Content 

Listen to Andy and Barry discuss how research is a way to create absolutely original content and how it:

  • Is an important part of the content marketer’s writing process
  • Separates your content from the pack of instant gratification seekers
  • Gives your content more perspective and depth
  • Earns valuable links and citations from major media sources
  • Delivers unparalleled credibility and authority

The episode features discussions of three great examples:

  • The overwhelming deal-breaker for dating
  • A project Andy describes as a “brilliant case study in repurposing” (and is realizing ridiculous reach)
  • Buzzsumo and Moz research, which reveals the two types of content that earn the most shares and linkis

Research backed content

In the cheese and mousetraps segment…
