Olivia Dello Buono says, “Crafting great content isn’t enough to get your content to go viral. In a world where sharing is social currency, social engagement is more important than ever if you want the world to see your content.

And it could be the key to getting more eyes on your emails (more sharing = more website visitors and exposure to your email sign up forms).

Sharing is the key to successful content

Sharing can help distribute your content to new audiences that it may not have reached before.

It helps to know your customers. Do your research and identify the things these people are sharing and use this as a basis for developing your content”.
