Below, are 5 easy ways you can automate your content marketing:
Contents

Royalty Free Images Included
People don’t necessarily have the time to read tons of content. Most of the time, they respond better to powerful visuals that get right to the point. According to one report, marketing content including images has 650% higher engagement than content without them.
Still, sourcing images as a brand is immensely tricky.
If you don’t have an automated process in place, you’re paying an arm and a leg for professional stock photos from places such as Getty Images. And unless you’re Jackson Pollock, you can’t take these pictures on your own.
With Contento, royalty free images are part of the package.
Making Outreach and SEO Automatic
Does content truly exist if nobody’s around to read it?
As a brand, finding the media placement for your content is usually wrought with a litany of cold emails and seemingly endless coordination efforts.
Contento’s dashboard provides instantaneous access to a network of reputable publishers who offer brand exposure through their readerships. Since these publishers are held in high regard, your mere association with them will benefit your brand’s image.
