The Most Common Content Writing Challenges Businesses Face

From shrinking content teams to competing in an endless sea of online content, here are some of the top content marketing challenges businesses face. 

Recommended Reading: Enterprise SEO Challenges & How to Conquer Them

Challenge #1: Lack of Resources

A significant hurdle in content marketing is the scarcity of resources, with a considerable number of businesses struggling to meet demands within limited means. 

According to a report by the Content Marketing Institute, over 60% of content marketers report being tasked with accomplishing more while having the same or even fewer resources at their disposal. 

The report further reveals that 90% of marketing teams consist of five or fewer members dedicated to content, and 58% have only one or no team members solely focused on content creation and management.

Challenge #2: Engaging Readers

Creating engaging content poses a notable challenge for content marketers. With the abundance of content available online, capturing and retaining audience attention becomes increasingly difficult.

Content marketers must continuously strive to produce unique, captivating, and relevant content that provides significant value to their audience. 

Doing so requires a deep understanding of the target audience, meticulous planning, creativity, and the ability to adapt to evolving audience trends, demands and preferences.

Challenge #3: The Substantial Time Commitment

Creating content that meets the standards of engagement, user satisfaction, and search engine optimization requires careful planning, research, writing, editing, and refinement. In other words, it takes time. A lot of it.

When considering all of the steps required to produce a high quality piece of content, it’s no surprise that many digital marketers identify allocating sufficient time and resources for content creation as one of their major hurdles. 

Challenge #4: Competing With An Endless Sea of Online Content

Content marketers also face the daunting challenge of competing in an ever-expanding sea of online content. 

With millions of blog posts, articles, videos, and social media updates being published everyday, standing out and capturing audience attention is no easy task. The content chaos is massive:

• According to Zippia, more than 6 million blog posts are published each day.
• Techjury reports that 3.7 million videos are uploaded to YouTube every day.
• 1 billion Facebook stories are published each day, reports SocialPilot.
• 95 million photos and videos are posted on Instagram every day, says Zippia. 

Differentiating one's content from the noise requires a unique value proposition, compelling storytelling, and innovative strategies to engage and resonate with the target audience. 

The task of creating competitive content is further complicated by the extensive amount of data, information, and insights that content creators require to create content that has potential to rank well in organic search results.

Challenge #5: Overcoming Writer’s Block

Writer's block stands as one of the top challenges that content marketers face. It is an affliction that strikes even the most skilled and creative writers, hindering their ability to generate fresh ideas and produce engaging content. 

The pressure to consistently deliver high-quality content, combined with the need to meet deadlines and adhere to content marketing strategies, can contribute to mental blocks and a lack of inspiration. 

Challenge #6: Producing Content Consistently

Producing and refreshing content consistently is crucial for SEO. Google values fresh and updated content, and regularly publishing new pieces of content signals to search engines that a website is active and relevant.

Consistency in content creation helps to establish a consistent flow of indexed pages, increasing the chances of being discovered by search engines and driving organic traffic to the website. Additionally, consistent content production provides more opportunities for targeting relevant keywords, improving search engine visibility and the overall SEO performance of a website.

But maintaining a consistent publishing schedule while ensuring the content meets quality standards and aligns with the brand's messaging and objectives is no easy feat. Factors such as limited resources, time constraints, and competing priorities all make it difficult to consistently generate and refresh content.

In accordance with our AI Manifesto which showcases our commitment to the ethical and responsible use of AI, we don’t allow users to generate an entire piece of content at once. By only enabling the ability to create short, individual paragraphs around specific contexts, the risk of plagiarism is greatly reduced.

Additionally, we always stress in our trainings and interactions with clients that the content Content Fusion generates should not be published without human review. The outputs are only meant to serve as a starting point for your writers to then revise and apply their creativity and industry expertise to.

Our mindset is mirrored in Google's guidelines around AI-generated content, "AI has the ability to power new levels of expression and creativity, and to serve as a critical tool to help people create great content for the web."
