By Jennifer Allan March 20, 2023 15 mins read 287 Views

During 2022, DigitalMarketer generated 181 articles, 101 podcasts, and 141 youtube videos for public consumption (we also generated over 1,000 gated videos but we won’t include that data here).

In our Content Marketing Certification we teach you how to build the Content Performance Report. The point is to allow you to assess the performance of all of your content using simple metrics, then use those metrics to identify potential opportunities for new content.

Surprisingly, the most consumed content was PODCASTS. Even though we produced less podcasts (101) than both articles (181) and videos (178), podcasts still accounted for 53% of total consumption.

Quick note that “consumption” for our content strategy is “views” for for video, “unique pageviews” for articles, and “downloads” for podcasts.

On average, each podcast was downloaded 2,491 times versus videos at 432 views, and articles at 781 pageviews.

The following is a breakdown of the top performing content DigitalMarketer produced in 2022.

Frequently Asked Questions

What keeps entrepreneurs motivated?

Freedom to pursue my goals is my biggest motivator. The world we live in has limits on what people can save, earn, invest, buy and consume. These limits do not apply to us. We have the freedom to follow our dreams and make them a reality.

These limitations cannot be allowed to control us. If we do that, we lose sight the fact that our destiny is ours. We are the captains and crew of our ships. We are the architects to our lives.

My drive is to create wealth that surpasses my wildest imagination. To create businesses that are bigger than life itself. To create businesses that can change the way people live their lives forever.

To create stronger businesses than any governments, more influential as any religion, and longer lasting than time.

It's why I'm here. I want to help entrepreneurs grow and expand their businesses faster than anyone else. Because everyone wins when you win.

Which is your most motivating thing in life?

What is my favorite motivation in life? Let me tell ya. Helping people feel better about their lives is what motivates me the most. To make them feel amazing because they are. They are worthy and deserving of love.

That they deserve happiness, because they do.

I'm here to remind people that there is nothing more important than feeling great about yourself. Nothing. And I will do everything in my power to change the world.

Because when we feel good about ourselves, we become more open minded and compassionate towards those around us. It's a great thing to stop judging others based on superficiality. Instead, we start to see the person inside.

Showing someone that you already have everything you need is the best way for them to be motivated.

They might not have realized it yet but they know that this is why their struggle with something has been so prolonged. Because they knew deep down within they had the power and ability to heal themselves.

All they needed was the right environment, the right support system, and the right mindset. However, they forgot to see that.

Why did they lose sight of it? Because they were too busy trying figure out what the problem was. Trying desperately to fix it, without realizing that they actually had all the tools they needed to solve it.

They also forgot to mention that the main reason they couldn’t solve it was because the answer wasn’t in their heads.

I'm here to remind that you have the power and ability to create a whole new world. You only need to learn how to tap into your inner genius.

The rest will fall into place once you do. It's easy to make your dreams come true.

You see, I believe each human being has their own unique superpower.

We just have to learn how to use it.

What are the 3 motivations of an entrepreneur?

Entrepreneurs' three greatest motivations are freedom and money.

Freedom means being able to do what you like whenever you like. This is why entrepreneurs can be free from the constraints of our job or current life.
Also, money is very important. Without it we would not consider starting a company. While we can survive on food, water, shelter and money, it is not possible to make ends meet without money.
But the third motivation is knowledge. Entrepreneurship requires that we continue to learn. That is why we frequently find ourselves reading books and attending seminars.

This is what makes us succeed and helps us achieve our goals. It gives us purpose and meaning.

These three factors are what made us entrepreneurs. These are the driving forces that keep us going every day.

If these three things are missing, we might pack up and go home. We won't be truly happy if we don't have the three things we need.

What are the benefits of having an entrepreneurial mindset?

Entrepreneurship has many advantages. The first one is that you become self-reliant. You can stop relying upon others.

You will be able to work for yourself and follow your dreams. It helps you make connections with other entrepreneurs who share similar interests and challenges.

You gain confidence. You learn new things as an entrepreneur. This will allow you to be flexible and adapt quickly. By thinking outside the box, you will not be trapped in a rut.

We are no longer bound to the regulations and rules that society places on us when we start our own businesses. We are free to choose what we do and how we live.

You have the option to choose to go against the flow or follow the crowd. We have the option to choose success or failure. We can choose to fail or win.

The freedom is exhilarating. It comes with a fair amount of responsibility. Because once you step into this role, you're accountable for everything that happens within your business.

Learning to manage risk is key to success. Don't be afraid trying new things. If you are willing and able to learn from your failures, you will eventually reach your goals.

When you start your journey, remember these important lessons.

Remember:

Entrepreneurship is a lifestyle choice.
You're the boss when your business is owned and operated by you.
Be aware of the following trends
Success isn't measured in money but rather in freedom.
Your personal and professional lives must be balanced.
Set clear expectations.
Always be sincere with your team.
Remember, if you want something to happen, you've got to do something about it.

How can entrepreneurs motivate employees?

Motivation can come anyplace. Motivation can come from anywhere. Motivation is important for every business, regardless of whether it's a stick or carrot approach.

Employees are more motivated if they feel happy. This makes them more likely to do their best. For a team that performs well, provide them with the tools they need to feel empowered.

You have to give them a sense of belonging. You need to create a place where they feel safe and respected. Where they can contribute ideas without fear of punishment.

You create a culture that allows employees to thrive and achieve their goals. This is how you keep your best people happy, loyal, productive and satisfied.

To keep the culture alive, reward people who help you succeed. This includes giving bonuses to those who achieve goals, providing training opportunities, increasing your pay rises, and offering perks such as insurance.

You also need to provide clear direction and communication. Ensure everyone knows what's expected of them and why.

Your policies and procedures should be written down and communicated. You should ensure that they are observed by someone.

And most importantly, communicate frequently. Keep your team informed about what's going on in the organization. Let your team know about what's happening.

Communication is key, and you can help your team stay ahead of your competition by looking after them. They'll take care of you.

It could cost you big time if you don't have a good relationship with your employees. Research has shown that companies with high levels in employee engagement are more productive and profitable than those that have difficulty keeping their top performers.

It is important to realize that not all employees want to work at the same speed. Some people prefer to work alone, while others enjoy working in teams. You can motivate anyone in many different ways.

Incentives may work better for some, but recognition might be appreciated by others. Whatever works for your company, ensure that it is consistent with its goals.

You, the leader, are ultimately responsible for setting the tone. Be open-minded. Listen to your team. And remember, if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.

Which 6 questions are most motivating for entrepreneurs?

Motivation is the key ingredient to any business. Without motivation, you will not get out the door each day. You'll have trouble completing projects without motivation. Motivation is essential for reaching your goals. How do we find motivation?

It is possible to ask yourself: "What motivates me?" But the answer might surprise you. You might have been asking the same question for many years. If you haven't asked yourself this question, you're missing out on one of life's greatest rewards--the opportunity to discover your motivation.

It's the most motivating thing to discover why you are here. That's when you finally begin to realize what drives you. You will find your purpose clearer and more meaningful. Why do you care? Once you know why you care, it will make it easier to stay motivated.

Looking within is the key to unlocking your motivation. These are the questions you should ask yourself:

What am I passionate about?
What makes my heart beat faster?
What is it that lights me up?
What gives me butterflies inside my stomach?
What makes me feel alive and connected?
What is it that makes you want to return to your project over and over again?

Once you know the answers to your questions, you will be able identify your true motivations.

You can find your motivation to get through tough times. You will find strength whenever you need it. It will encourage you to work harder. It will motivate you to succeed.

And if you're like me, you'll never stop wanting to know what your motivation is.

Consider what drives you today. You might be surprised at your discoveries.

How To

What are 3 things that keep entrepreneurs motivated?

Entrepreneurs must be motivated. Without motivation, it is difficult to be driven and determined to succeed. But what motivates us?

We are motivated by three things:

We love our business
Our vision/mission is larger than ourselves
We love to help others.

Find ways to tap these motivations to stay motivated. When we love our business we feel great pride when it succeeds. When we have a big vision, we feel more satisfied knowing that we are making a difference in the world. When we feel fulfilled when we help others, it is because we are giving back to society.

According to Dr. John Cacioppo (Professor Emeritus, University of Chicago), the best way to motivate yourself to care about what you care about is to do so. His book, "Loneliness," states that "the best source for motivation is caring about someone." This will make us more engaged and motivated. It makes sense that we will feel more passionate when we care about something.
