It is fascinating how fast content marketing and sharing are growing steadily of late. Brands are on the watch, stepping up their game and trying to seek attention from the consumers.
Meanwhile, consumers are so distracted with phones and social media that something solid and tangible is needed to get their attention. Indeed, the consumers’ attention span has become shorter than ever. With this, the consumers expect the brands to know them at an individual level. Hence, brands are rushing to give people content that feels tailor-made just for them!
The future of online content is shaping up to be pretty interesting. Come 2024, many content-sharing platforms will try to give it a come-back. Consumers will see all sorts of new sharing trends popping up everywhere.
This article aims to take you through the rigorous journey of content syndicators, content creators, and consumers in an interactive platform of content consumption.
1. Personalization at Scale
As people want more personalized experiences, platforms specializing in content syndication will send tailored content to many people simultaneously.
Moreover, algorithms can learn what people like by looking at user data and then suggest better content. It would help if you aimed to make different topic-based content that can be sent to many people.
Well-prepared resources that are correctly tagged and grouped help syndication networks pair suitable topics with different user profiles.
2. User-Generated Content
More consumers are craving a more interactive experience when consuming media. They want to feel involved with what companies are putting out there, so it’s easier to get people excited about sharing.
The big tech companies know this and are experimenting with different ways for users to pass content around easily. Instead of just plastering a wall of text onto a page, they’re slicing it up into quick quotes, video clips, and customized summaries.
When people feel included in distributing someone else’s material, it spreads like wildfire. All of a sudden, potential new customers are learning about your brand from their friends and family members. Such a grassroots approach is powerful for building an audience.
3. Embedded Content
With attention spans dwindling, syndicators must get more creative about optimizing content for scanning. Some of the creativities to venture into include:
- Embedded Content Gains Traction: As attention spans shrink, syndicators must find new ways to optimize content for quick scanning. Formats such as embedded articles and videos that seamlessly blend into any environment are on the rise. These embedded assets allow content to be consumed without interrupting the user’s current task or workflow.
- Modular Content Works Best: Consider breaking longer-form content into modular, embeddable sections tailored for any placement. Individual paragraphs or sections can be embedded wherever relevant, whether on a website, in apps, or across social media.
- Engagement Page Views: Platforms and publishers will focus more on engagement metrics over traditional page views. Embedded content keeps users engaged by keeping them on the page and allowing content consumption without leaving the current site. If the content is exciting and relevant, users will interact more.
4. Voice Assistants on the Bloom
If you want people to find your brand, you have to make it easy to discover.
These days, more consumers are using smart gadgets like voice assistants and smart speakers to look things up. That means if someone asks about your brand, it is your brand that should pop up.
So, content creators will need to create some audio-friendly content that really draws people in.
5. Real-Time Content Surfacing
Each day, consumers’ thirst for personalized content keeps increasing, thereby increasing demand too. This way, content syndication platforms respond by enhancing their real-time distribution capabilities.
Strategies employed by syndication platforms include live streaming, which allows for real-time synthesizing of content sensitive to time and updates. Another strategy is to surface new content in consumer feeds through consumer-related suggestions.
Content creators will need to sharpen their skills in distributing their content using these strategies. Another leverage is artificial intelligence and automatic workflows, which can help content creators bridge the gap between the content and consumers.
6. Data-Driven Optimization and Standardization
Standardization of data-driven strategies will call for improvement in analytics around consumed content. This will make it easier for syndicators to monitor user content engagement by sharing their content.
Hence, standardization will lead to the optimization of data and will provide valuable insights into the distribution of content. Content creators should, therefore, take advantage of and leverage themselves with analytics to access various content.
7. Community Engineered Content Surfacing
As map data and local targeting improve, content sharers will likely build better area-specific delivery skills. They will create super-local content for distinct groups in the town, appealing to local consumers.
Partnerships with area publishers and popular figures can grow the brand’s visibility on maps, search results, and location-tied content suggestions for phone users in particular regions.
Producing and pushing content linked to smaller geographic places will increase the chances of being found by local audiences looking for information nearby.
Conclusion
To summarize it all, the content market is drastically shifting and changing. Therefore, in order to stay ahead of the game, you need to carve your edge and hone your skills.
Be ready to marry trendy tactics and strategies with personal consumer engagement. These strategies have proven successful for the top-notch brands. The brands that will utilize this blend of tech know-how and consumer personal touch are likely to have people’s loyalty come 2024.
