13 Reasons Why Your Content Marketing Might Fail
Good article!

I must admit that I'm not looking to 'sell' every time I write something up. So I don't have a 'call to action' in every blog post or FB post or newsletter. Am I missing the point of blogging? I don't think so. I think linking every bit of content to 'action' may put off a segment of my readers.
