99% of content marketing fails. That LinkedIn post, Tweet, YouTube video, TikTok, blog post... The biggest reason they fall flat is that you didn't have a great answer to this question 👇👇👇 This tactic can help. It's not that hard. It doesn't even add that much time to your production and amplification. Srsly, try it.
Does Spark Toro help you find “the list”?
It's almost like I've heard this before! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA
Prospect list, in other words
Tell us more! How do we create this list? How do we get it in front of them? What’s the juice?
Rand Fishkin pls allow me to use this video for a presentation next week.
From studying your stuff, this is a topic I’m exploring further: specifically only making content that people will want to amplify. Things like Studies/Polls/Analysis(es?) that people in my industry would be interested in consuming, and then once the content is published… promoting the heck out of it. Really appreciate your LinkedIn content, it’s really helped me narrow down my focus on getting in front of other people’s audiences.
Sharable content leads to a lot of benefits! When you create relatable quality content for your TA you can sit and watch and they will do all the work to make it win🐱🏍
"Who will help amplify?" 👉 social platform algorithm. I love seeing how many marketing leaders optimize their content to meet Linkedin/Twitter/Facebook algorithm requirements. Content that is optimized for platforms got pushed organically. Let's call it Content & Channel Fit.
I believe audience intend matters the most. Thank you for the great insight!

1yAt Hootsuite, when we'd write trend reports, we used the technique you explained. Works very well. The person was: This X analyst at eMarketer. That is who we wanted to amplify it and write to a level that they would see our reports as a trusted resource. We even started increasing our sample size for our surveys to meet the standards of the analyst firms. The first report we did had a sample of 300 social marketers. The last one I worked on was a survey sample of 11,000 social marketers! A great win was one year when I sent the report to the analyst that I always aimed at, she said she had already downloaded it and had the data and was using it in her latest industry report.
