Content Marketing Statistics Before looking at how to get more blog followers, let us first look at content marketing statistics. In case you didn't know, blogging is a form of content marketing. By understanding what others are doing in this area you'll be better able to design and implement a strategy. 60% of smartphone users have contacted a business after engaging with a search engine result according to HubSpot. Over 84% of organisations have a content marketing strategy in place based on a SEMRush survey. Of those organisations who took the survey 76% of them have a content marketing team of fewer than 3 people. Brands are using IG Stories more than ever based on a report from Top Rank Blog. The top 3 hard skills that content marketers need to have to survive are social media, SEO and strategy. This is based on that SEMRush survey of over 17,000 content marketing roles. If there's one statistic you need to keep in mind it is this one. 89% of content marketers rely on organic search as they believe it is the most effective distribution method. As you can see there isn't a magic pill or silver bullet that everyone is using to get results. Knowing Your Audience Wait! Before rushing out and creating a strategy for your content marketing or blogging plan. The most important thing that you need to consider is your audience.
