The Three Marks of Great Content [Article]

Content marketers are often told, “Create amazing content!” But what does that exactly mean? What makes a certain piece of content from just being “good” to being “Oh my God! I have to share this immediately!” This article goes through what is actually great content and gives examples and real-world definitions. They say that great content can be boiled down to these three factors:

  1. Is it useful?
  2. Is it aligned (with both reader needs and business goals)?
  3. Is it unique?

Speaking of Donating…

We’ve seen a hurricane absolutely decimate Puerto Rico, and they need all the help they can get. On top of that, we saw a horrible mass shooting in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas was a punch to the gut for me. I’ve spend a lot of time in Las Vegas, back from when I was a little kid. My grandmother lives near there and her friends travel there a lot. I got up Monday morning, learned about the incident and immediately reached out to her to make sure her and all of her friends were OK. Having to make those kinds of calls are awful, and I feel for anyone who had to make those calls and not get the good news that I did.

If you feel like you want to reach out and help, I did some research to find legitimate charities where you can give money and help out even if you’re far away.
