Usually, the promotion parts in those contents are hidden so that it may not sound too much selling. This is why it’s best to come up with contents without considering its market value to your brand.

4. Encourage sharing – If possible, cover all social networking sites and persuade your viewers to share your content. And remember, create contents that are only worth sharing!
