When you think of content types, what comes to mind? Like many people, your first thought is likely a post on social media or even a blog post, but there are so many other options out there. Different types of content can help you connect with different people. Ideally and correctly used, different content can even help you reach customers at various points of the sales funnel. It’s been said that ‘content is the currency of the internet.’
There are technically only four content types — written, visual, audio and video, and interactive. And everything below are more like versions of these types, but for all intents and purposes (ya, that’s how you actually say it!) we will refer to them as types.
