Ways to Establish Credibility in Content Marketing:
 
1) Increase Brand Trust by Being Socially Active:
The reality is that some people start out with the intention of selling their goods or services to their clients. It's a bad strategy for creating brand trust, especially when some companies haven't posted on social media in months. Such an idea is incorrect; it harms your brand's reputation and undermines your reliability and credibility since social media is not just for marketing your products and services.

However, only if the statistics originate from a reliable source. Unsourced statistics abound in material, particularly in information aimed at marketers. Make sure your statistics are from a referenced source—one that your 10th-grade Social Studies instructor would approve of. Avoid the following dubious tactics:

• A link to the source's main page, which makes not one mention of the statistic under consideration.
• A source name in brackets that does not contain a hyperlink
• A link to an earlier post that likewise fails to cite the statistic

3) Refer to topic matter experts:
Select specialists with great resumes to develop or appear in your material. Include their qualifications in a bio at the bottom of a post. Avoid an alphabet soup of truncated qualifications following their name, and don't include everything they've ever done. Unless it's significant to your specialized sector, average readers won't know or care what these initials imply. Consider interviewing experts on a regular basis and/or developing Q&A material. When reputable members in your industry interview your brand, it demonstrates that you have their backing. This individual may also share the content with their social networks, which will increase the size of your audience.
 
4) Convert Customer Engagement into Content:
Customer service is a vital deciding element in judging a brand's level of trustworthiness, yet sadly, many businesses dismiss it. When customers aren't feeling valued and attended to, their faith in the firm suffers considerably, and they are eager to find someone else to do business with. On the other hand, in order to gain your customers' trust, you must provide excellent service, which should be reflected in your content marketing plan. You may achieve this by paying attention to customer engagement on your published material, whether it's videos, blogs, webinars, or anything else. You may use this data to assist direct your content marketing effort.
 
5) Keep Your Content Perfect:
As I previously stated, this is the simplest repair on the list. Make sure to refine your work before releasing it. Grammar, spelled words, usage, and scannability should all be checked. You may only have 15 seconds to persuade a reader that your material is worthwhile. Before they're hooked, they're essentially searching for an excuse to quit reading, return to the search results, check Facebook, or do a variety of other things. Sloppy editing work allows them to get away with it.
 
6) Include Influencers:
At TopRank Marketing, influencer marketing is a key part of what we do, and we frequently write about how celebrities aid with content amplification. It generally goes with saying that they also increase your credibility with their audience—but let me tell it again. Seek out influencers who are recognized and acknowledged as thought leaders in their sector, rather than those who have the most Twitter followers. Content co-created with a real influencer may greatly increase your reputation.
