People have not been able to untap the potential yet! You must know the right way to reach your audience. The most important step is to promote your content and map it to the right channel. you should know that every platform caters to a different kind of audience. for eg Twitter is for short and snappy campaigns and the Twitter audience will not be attracted to longer content. If you are a B2C company you might advertise more on Instagram and Snapchat as the visuals get more attention on these platforms.
2.Write a Catchy headline: Well to be honest one of the most important aspects of every content is headlines. Like we normally look at the title of the book to get a judgment of what the book is about. Give more attention to the headline as it will be a deciding factor for the users.
