In planning your social and content marketing strategy, what's the right mix of first-party and third-party content? How often should you post purely promotional messages?
While plenty of people will tell you that it "depends," we're willing to commit to a specific ratio: 30/ 60/ 10. It's how we run our social media and content marketing, and we think it's a good way for you to run yours as well.

2. In planning your social media
content marketing
strategy, what’s the right mix of
content?
3. How much of curated content
should you share?
How much of your owned content
should you share?
And how often should you post
purely promotion calls to action?
4. The easy answer is, ―It depends.‖
But we can do better than that .
5. We can recommend a
specific ratio.
One that we live by every
day:
7. That is,
30 percent of what you share should be
Content You Created.
60 percent of what you share should be
Content You Curated.
and
10 percent of what you share should be
Calls To Action.
12. So if it’s your social media
presence, why only 30
percent Owned Content?
13. Because you don’t want to talk
about yourself all day.
(It’s boring and self-absorbed).
Because you may not have
enough Owned Content.
(It can be tough to create.)
15. What’s Your Curated Content?
Links to content created by others
that’s relevant to your brand, your
industry and your community.
Your Curated Content should always
contain more than a link – it needs
your POV and commentary.
17. Why spend so much time on
Your Curated Content?
How does Curated Content
make a difference for your
marketing?
18. Because it allows you to engage your
community in the most relevant topic
right now.
(That topic might not be you, but that
doesn’t mean you shouldn’t chime in.)
Because you have too many
composer windows to fill.
(Especially on high-frequency social
networks.)
22. Why so little promotional
content?
Isn’t the point of all of this
motivating customer actions
and attitudes?
23. Because too much selling on social is
a turnoff.
(Too much selling could cause you to
lose followers.)
Because your users don’t log in
looking for deals.
(Your sales messages need to be
mixed with things that inform and
entertain.)
25. If you’re looking for guidance on
what the right mix of content is for
your business, we recommend:
30/ 60/ 10
Owned/
Curated/

26. So if you’re sending 10 Tweets
today, it means:
3 pieces of Owned Content
6 links to Curated Content
1 Call To Action

Action
Owned
Curated
Promotional
28. Of course, as they say,
YMMV
(Your Mileage May
Vary.)
