You don't understand your audience

Being on the same platform means to deliver your content where your audience hangs out. For eg., you are using a marketing channel where your targeted audience does not hang out then it's not worth delivering content over such a platform. 

Producing Less Content

How often do you update blogs or publish new content on social media? Like you cannot eat pizza every day, some days you need a burger or something good. Same as with content marketing, users don't want to read or listen to the same content every day. Stay updated, stay trendy, and let your content speak up. To produce engaging content, make your content media-rich by adding visual or hand-drawn images, use easy to understand language, and create appealing headlines.
