What’s a common misconception about content marketing for startups that you’ve learned isn’t true?

Question

Don't know whether misconception or not but I have learnt that content marketing is tied to SEO and is the long game.

You cannot expect quick ROI for it.
But if done correctly, it can give many fold returns in the long term.

And it has to be good quality content, otherwise you do get penalized by Google/Youtube/Content platform of your choice

A common misconception is that content marketing delivers immediate results. In reality, it's a long-term strategy that builds credibility, brand awareness, and customer trust over time. Startups often see it as a quick fix but underestimate its compounding value.
