Earned media content is content other people, influencers, and brands share on social media. This means that your content reaches a much wider audience, and because it’s shared or commented on by a third party. People tend to trust the\u00a0options and endorsements of others, and that’s what earned media is. When a social influencer says, “Hey check this person’s blog post out,” you are receiving endorsement.<\/p>\n

\"get-started-newsroom\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This potential for authority, credible, and a wider reach can put tremendous pressure on you as a content creator.<\/p>\n

You want to create amazing content that gets shared thousands of times.<\/h6>\n

This pressure tends to create problematic content.<\/p>\n

Content becomes gimmicky. Some people start focusing on trends, controversial topics, and attention-grabbing headlines. That may get you short-term results, but in the long run, it\u2019s not going to establish your brand as a credible source of information. And the traffic that you do generate to your page, profile, and website will likely not come back. In short, you\u2019re not really getting the benefits of earned media.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the secret to effective earned media?<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s all about the basics. This sums it up:<\/h5>\n
    \n
  • Don\u2019t Try Too Hard<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • Simply Create Content That Answers Questions, Solves Problems and Brings a Unique Point of View to The Conversation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Let\u2019s break that down just a bit.<\/p>\n

      Create content that answers the question and solves problems. This means that you need to know your audience. You must know what problems they\u2019re trying to solve, where they are in the process, what they\u2019ve tried already, and what they need in terms of answers and a solution. You can craft content around those pain points, then you\u2019re going to get reposts, shares, and links from your audience and influencers.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Bring a Unique Point of View<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • This means that you and your brand have a strong voice, a brand personality, and a mission \u2013 and those things are represented in your content. If you\u2019re a solo entrepreneur, then often that voice is your own. It\u2019s your personality; integrate it into your content. If you\u2019re a larger company, then it\u2019s important to define your brand and your message and to integrate that into your content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          In short, focus on your audience.<\/h5>\n

          The earned media shares, engagement, likes and so on will follow when you consistently produce exceptional content. Pay attention to what your audience responds to, and leverage that information to help you continue to improve and grow your earned media content marketing results.<\/p>\n
