The Dark Side of Content Marketing [Infographic]

The Dark Side of Content Marketing [Infographic]

Many marketers are turning to content marketing to increase brand awareness, search rankings, boost leads and more -- but there's a dark side that many neglect to talk about.

Content marketing is a great way to reach a new audience, generate brand awareness, educate consumers and more, but it also can be very detrimental to a marketing strategy -- especially if it isn't done the right way.

At Scripted, we're focused on improving the quality of writing on the Internet. Thousands of marketers have come to us to fuel their content creation efforts by purchasing original written content from our platform. However, a successful content marketing strategy needs more than just engaging content. It needs a solid plan, concrete goals, defined metrics of success, a thorough understanding of an audience and strong promotion plan.

Last year, we published the infographic below to shed light on the dark side of content marketing. As a content writing company, our hope is that businesses publish content responsibly, with clear goals and strategies in mind. And what's a better time to dabble in the dark side than the week leading up to Halloween?
