D) Keep realistic expectations:
Consider the field of content and content marketing as marathon race and not sprint- it is not possible to get the instant results (unless, the traffic your content generates are of bots!) expecting extraordinary results within matter of weeks or months, is something you as a company should avoid. Give your content some time and a procedure to follow and give out organic results. Be patient when it comes to generating results.
