How to Hack Your Interactive Content for Success in 2016 [Infographic]

Everyone and their mom is blogging these days.

And just as many are publishing eBooks and sharing whitepapers.

While still crucial to search engine optimization and getting found online, the truth is these forms of content creation are becoming run-of-the-mill.

They no longer surprise audiences, nor do they command the immediate attention they once did, no matter how groundbreaking or thought-provoking they may be. Without sugar-coating it, today’s audiences expect more from brands. They expect content they can engage with, digest quickly, and truly experience -- that’s where interactive content comes in.

Interactive content formats (such as calculators, quizzes, and generators) drive 2x the number of conversions as passive formats like blogging and eBooks.
