Most notably, it reveals 3 key customer behavior changes due to the pandemic:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Content saturation continues to overwhelm all customers<\/strong>. As a result, they focus on shorter headlines, 11 words or a maximum of 65 characters. At a minimum, front load your headline\u2019s key message.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trust outweighs other content factors for all customers<\/strong>. If your audience doesn\u2019t trust you and the platform where you publish, then they won\u2019t look at your content! So branding matters more than ever.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Social media use replaced real life interactions during the pandemic<\/strong>. People turned to Facebook to keep up with the people they no longer were able to see face-to-face. At the same time, others spent less time on Twitter since they got their information through other channels and sources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Based on these results, I recommend that marketers focus on core marketing basics to ensure that they get the most out of their marketing investment over the long-term.<\/p>\n<p>Further, as the world emerges from the pandemic, continue to talk to your existing customers to determine how their needs may have changed.<\/p>\n<p>Also test new options for reaching your broader audience.<\/p>\n<h3>Julian Shapiro<\/h3>\n<p>Founder, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.demandcurve.com\/#u8f9l09him8kjgvqcnkju\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Demand Curve<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the highest signal-to-noise reports on content marketing. This is the type of data that BuzzSumo can uniquely put together.<\/p>\n<h3>Rand Fishkin<\/h3>\n<p>Founder,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sparktoro.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">SparkToro<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a content creator, strategist, or marketer, reviewing data at scale from this study is a very wise investment. It won\u2019t just help you with writing headlines (though it\u2019s absolutely valuable for that), but with contrasting what\u2019s worked in the past vs. what works today. Clickbait, emotional triggers, listicles, conspiracy content, and quizzes have long held a dominant position in how marketers think about what works on social media platforms. BuzzSumo\u2019s research confirms some of those, mythbusts others, and illuminates the nuance of what\u2019s really working.<\/p>\n<h3>Ross Simmonds<\/h3>\n<p>Founder, <a href=\"http:\/\/Foundationinc.co\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Foundation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fascinating to see that years after BuzzFeed shook up the journalism industry with \u201cclick friendly\u201d headlines that they\u2019re now being adopted by the masses and even those who originally pushed back on the approach. The success of incorporating instructional copy such as \u201cyou need to\u201d and \u201cyou should\u201d is an amazing insight that more brands should consider applying to in their headline writing. At the end of the day, this entire study showcases the importance of understanding human psychology and the human desire of not missing out on information that is important to our circles.<\/p>\n<h3>Brian Dean<\/h3>\n<p>Founder, <a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Backlinko<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fascinating to see that instructional headlines work best on Facebook. That\u2019s a huge shift from the heyday of Facebook organic, which was all about BuzzFeed-style clickbait. This data shows that it\u2019s possible to get content in front of your audience on Facebook. But today\u2019s Facebook users need to know that the content is going to teach them something new.<\/p>\n<h3>Amanda Milligan<\/h3>\n<p>Marketing Director, <a href=\"http:\/\/frac.tl\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Fractl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I find the \u201cinstructional\u201d headline trend fascinating, because I\u2019ve definitely noticed it gaining popularity over recent years, and I\u2019d bet it\u2019s in response to people\u2019s growing desire to hear and learn from experts. When headlines feature this type of language \u2014 \u201ceverything you need,\u201d,\u201cwhy you should,\u201d \u201cthis is the best,\u201d etc. \u2014 it inherently demonstrates authority. That news source isn\u2019t just providing you with information; they\u2019re saying they know what\u2019s best. I\u2019d encourage brands to consider the authority they carry in their space and how they can leverage that to benefit readers through this sort of content.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What the marketing experts think Heidi Cohen Chief Marketing Officer, Actionable Marketing Guide This update to BuzzSumo\u2019s 2017 100m Headline Analysis reflects how the marketing landscape has changed over the last 5 years.
