Google ranks sites with keywords.) Videos – (Videos are increasingly popular because they have better engagement rates) Infographics – (Some business swear by this, and some do not. It’s really subjective to yourbusiness type.) Photos / GIFs – Content such as GIFs (Graphic Interchange Format) was pretty popular a few months ago. Podcasts – Podcasts are audio recordings which work great in some countries and not so much in others.As you can see, there are many ways to create content.
