What is Content Marketing And Why Does It Matter?

What is content marketing? Oxford defines it as "a type of marketing that involves the creation and sharing of online material (such as videos, blogs, vlogs, white papers, and social media posts) that does not explicitly promote a brand but is intended to stimulate interest in its products or services."

How To Create Better Video Content

When I meet with my consulting clients, in the marketing, advertising and outreach part, I ask one question; How much video content are you sharing? Most tell me, very little, others tell me none. I’m sure you’ll agree that in today’s busy, noisy, overcrowded online world, great photos and great videos capture our attention a lot quicker than words do.

I decided to  Google the definition of hater  and I discovered that the term is more mainstream than I thought, and that it isn’t always labeled as slang. Apparently, I was wrong about this word.

The  Merriam-Webster Dictionary  defines it as a person who hates someone or something, or as a person who actively and...
