## How to Plan Your Content Marketing Strategy for the New Year

As we move into the new year, it's time to start thinking about your content marketing strategy for the new year. If you want to stay ahead of the competition, you need to have a plan. Here are a few tips to help you get started.

### 1. Know Your Goals

[Before you can start planning your content marketing strategy, you need to know what your goals are](https://blog.commoncoremarketing.com/en/a-step-by-step-guide-to-crafting-your-marketing-plan-with-hubspot). What are you hoping to achieve with your content? Do you want to increase brand awareness? Drive traffic to your website? Generate leads? Once you know your goals, you can start planning your strategy.

### 2. Define Your Target Audience

Who is your target audience? This is an important question to answer when planning your content marketing strategy. Once you know who you're targeting, you can create content that appeals to them. Not sure who your target audience is? Try conducting market research or creating buyer personas.

### 3. Choose Your Channels

Once you know your goals and target audience, it's time to start thinking about which channels you'll use to reach them. There are a variety of channels available, including social media, email marketing, and paid advertising. Consider which channels will work best for reaching your target audience and achieving your goals.

### 4. Create Compelling Content

Now it's time to start creating content! When planning your content marketing strategy, be sure to create a mix of different types of content, such as blog posts, infographics, videos, and eBooks. And don't forget about calls-to-action (CTAs)! Make sure every piece of content includes a CTA that encourages your readers to take action.

### 5. Promote Your Content

Once you've created some great content, it's time to promote it! There are a number of ways to promote your content, including social media ads, email marketing campaigns, and guest blogging.

But before you can start reaping the benefits of content marketing, you need a plan. Use these tips as a starting point for creating your own 2020 content marketing strategy and setting yourself up for success in the new year!
