USING LONG-FORM CONTENT EFFECTIVELY TO ILLUMINATE YOUR BRAND
What is long-form content, and how can you use it effectively to illuminate your brand?
In a world where peoples’ attention spans are becoming shorter, there is a lot of competition in terms of what's out there for people to consume. In order to stand out from the crowd and grab your audience’s attention, your content has to be really good.
Afton talks about the power of long-form content, and what makes it successful. When she’s referring to long form content, she means long form blog posts, written customer stories, case studies and e-books. The power in this type of content is its longevity and the ability to educate on a profound level. That, and the ability to give readers depth and detail on a specific topic is what allows long form content to shine. You can give more context in longer pieces of content, which becomes more valuable for your reader.
