One of the most important elements of a successful content strategy is consistency. If you aren't frequently publishing fresh content that resonates with your target personas, you aren't likely to be discovered by potential customers online.

Content marketing requires research and planning. Identifying the target audience, the problems they are trying to solve, the best way to reach them and measuring success is all part of the process.

After laying the groundwork for your content plan, putting the plan into action is sometimes the easy part, but sticking with it for the long haul requires documentation that everyone involved can access and be held accountable for.
