Want to launch your content into the stratosphere?
The most shareable and link-worthy content you can create is original research. The insights you uncover can result in one-of-a-kind content that delivers incomparable success in search and social media.
Discussing this strategy made for a fun 21-minute conversation in this, our first Content Matters program of the New Year.
Episode #3:
Research: The Most Valuable Form of Content
Listen to Andy and Barry discuss how research is a way to create absolutely original content and how it:

- Separates your content from the pack of instant gratification seekers
- Gives your content more perspective and depth
- Earns valuable links and citations from major media sources
- Delivers unparalleled credibility and authority
The episode features discussions of three great examples:
- The overwhelming deal-breaker for dating
- A project Andy describes as a “brilliant case study in repurposing” (and is realizing ridiculous reach)
- Buzzsumo and Moz research, which reveals the two types of content that earn the most shares and linkis
In the cheese and mousetraps segment…
