Can content marketing be done for blog exposure?

Yes, provided SEO efforts are undertaken seriously and consistently.

Blogging is a form of Content Marketing. However, it's important to remember that content marketing is not a quick fix for blog exposure. You will need to continue to produce quality content [search engine optimized] if you want your blog to be successful.

Writing for people's first approach while simultaneously satisfying search intent should be the main focus of this content, or it might be based on keyword research and analysis.

Content marketing should be about providing useful information to your readers in order to build trust with them. Once they trust you, they’ll be more likely to listen to what you have to say and take action on it.

Implement content distribution [via sharing on social media, email marketing, and newsletter] and content repurposing mechanisms for a blog's maximum exposure or reach to a wider audience.
