34. how hubspot publishes 5 blog posts per day:
If you are the best at what you do then you have thought leaders. Every
key person we hire at HubSpot is a respective thought leader. The
problem is they are all busy running the business with very little time
to write. And they don’t often write well. If you are to succeed in
Google, you need to pull that content out of them by setting a weekly
quota for new content from your thought leaders. So find and hire a
journalist or two (or more) who know how to write well under deadlines.
There are lots of them moving from the old world of print media to
digital. Have them interview each thought leader in rotation for 30 to
45 minutes a week. Turn your journalists loose on your bright
engineers, your sales gurus, your marketing wizards, your c-level types,
your founders. They know amazing things, but they’re all busy. - Mark
Roberge, SVP of Sales and Services at Hubspot
