8 ways to create killer online content

Marketers and writers should work together closely to create compelling content that drives traffic, engagement, and results for an organization.

It isn’t valuable to create outstanding content that no one sees, nor to drive a lot of traffic to low-quality content that no one reads.

According to recent research from Chartbeat, 55 percent of people who click on a link spend less than 15 seconds on the page.
