31. “AI enables us to work smarter but
is it an existential threat to
humanity?”
Nick Bostrom, University of
Oxford and director of both the
Future of Humanity Institute and
the Strategic Artificial Intelligence
Research Centre
“We are only 20 to 50 years away from
Machine AI achieving human-level
intelligence... and from reaching a
human equivalent level of capability, AI
is forecast to then see its progress take
a rapid upward curve to super-
intelligence.

Extending your

65. Ebooks

66. Ebooks
E-Books are the longest form of content marketing
They are extremely attractive to customers because of the sheer amount of
information contained within them, and because they can be downloaded and
viewed at the customer's own pace.
E-Books are an excellent choice for content marketing because they work
extremely well for establishing you as an authority figure and source of
knowledge in your niche.
In addition to this, if you are looking for premium content to entice your
followers to answer a call to action. Offering an E-Book as an incentive is
often very effective.

67. Interactive content
Customers like to give their opinions. If there is a way for them to give
feedback, they will often jump at the chance to do so.
Interactive content is also engaging. It keeps the customer on your
website or on your social media page, as they consume and interact with
the content you have offered them. It is for these reasons that interactive
content is so popular. There are many types of interactive content.
Polls, Surveys, and Quizzes: These can be simple and straight forward.
For example, you might use Survey Monkey to ask users about your
latest product release. These can also be quite complex. You might
create a longer quiz for your potential customer, and then provide them
with answers on which one of your offerings is most appropriate for them
(based upon their answers).
