- Considered to be the most social of beverages, wine takes the meal experience to a whole new level. To make social media work, and complement your overall marketing strategy similar to how wine complements a meal, you need to have good content and understand your marketing and business goals.
- So today, I’m going to focus on this ‘buzzphrase ‘content marketing. In 2002, we had content humans wanted to share and content that ranked high in search. Fast forward to 2012 and we had content humans want to share heavily bleed into what content ranks high in search.
- So in order to get into a successful game of search and social and have it integrated with our overall marketing strategy, we need to get a content strategy fast.
- We need to stop pushing out useless content in a shotgun approach.
- And get a strategy fast.
- Identify Set your goals Develop a strategy to know your audience Establish your content team Audit Brainstorm Create themes for each month or quarter Brainstorm story ideas for each themes Determine how you’re going to produce those story ideas Collaborate Designate one person to manage the editorial calendar Determine your publishing frequency Determine how you’re going to produce those story ideas Assign story ideas to content formats (white paper, video, Facebook post, pin)
- Set your goals Develop a strategy to know your audience Establish your content team
- To help people relate to your personas, add images and give names to your buyer profiles. Assigning a name to the persona helps everyone on the team think of this buyer as a real person, not just a piece of business. Define concerns
- Before you develop an editorial calendar, you’ll need to understand who your target audience is, what their biggest concerns are and what types of content they want. You can do this by creating buyer personas, surveying your target audience to understand their needs, or asking your customer service team about the conversations they have with buyers. Once you understand your target audience, you can come up with content that helps to meet their needs and solve their challenges.
- Audit content to determine what’s good/bad & answers the ?’s
- Map the content available to the questions that content can answer The first step in creating your content calendar is to understand the phases of your company’s sales cycle. Identify key demographics in the timeline, such as new leads (the people seeing your online ads), interested prospects (the people who contact you for more info), new customers, returning customers, former customers, etc. These will be the categories to which you allocate topics. Take time to learn as much about these different areas as you can.
- Create themes for each month or quarter Brainstorm story ideas for each themes Determine how you’re going to produce those story ideas
- After you’ve taken the three steps outlined above, start putting your content into place. Write the articles, make the videos, schedule the ad campaigns, and so on. Monitor the results of your efforts, and continually refine and adjust the type and schedule of content accordingly. For example, if you see prospects are responding especially well to your eNewsletter but less to your pay-per-click ads, focus more attention on newsletter content.
- Designate one person to manage the editorial calendar Determine your publishing frequency Determine how you’re going to produce those story ideas Assign story ideas to content formats (white paper, video, Facebook post, pin)
- Getting your stories and headlines on other blogs or news sites across the web can build honest links to your site, indicating to Google that brands with authority trust a site’s content enough to publish it on their own. Additionally, inviting influential writers and publishers to guest post on your site not only encourages traffic, but also boosts social signals when those influencers share your domain with their social media followers.

- At the end of the day, good social media is baked into good content.
- Integrating content, SEO and social media into your marketing mix is now essential to delivering an exceptional experience and building a true brand.
