Today we want to throw a little refresher your way about the importance of diversity in your content marketing. You should always test out new formats and channels when the same old content isn’t giving you the desired results.

Times shift and different users go through different ways of absorbing information. Sometimes visuals work best, sometimes it should be gamified.

Before you choose any content type, just be sure it can fulfill the right goals for your brand.

Your content should…

• Provide value
• Promote your brand/product/service
• Be targeted to your specific desired audience
• Actively move customers along the purchasing journey
• Be shareable

So here are the 17 essential types of content you can use for marketing:

1. Blogs
2. Case Studies
3. Checklists
4. Reviews or Testimonials
5. Ebooks
6. Email Marketing
7. Guides and How-Tos
8. Infographics
9. Interactive Content
10. Interviews/Q&As
11. Listicles
12. Podcasts
13. Social Media Posts
14. User-Generated Content
15. Videos
