- Our goal today is to be the trusted expert for our customers. That’s how we will grow our businesses.
- Over 90% of consumers use the internet as part of their decision-making process. If you are not there, you may get left out of the buying process.
- And that’s why I believe that content marketing needs to be the core of your marketing program, which will be the engine of your entire marketing program. Content marketing is the art of understanding what your customers need to know and delivering it to them in a compelling way. Instead of focusing on your product or service and selling them, you devote resources to creating information that your customers and prospects need. Discuss Terms for a minute
- This is your marketing. Journalism plus marketing, call it advanced storytelling, is how the future marketing departments will function, not because they want to, but because they can and must.

- Get a Twitter management system like Tweetdeck or Tweetgrid. Now, to use Tweetdeck, you must first sign up at www.twitter.com and set up your free account. With Twitter you can search to find if your friends and colleagues are on the system and, if you want to, you can follow them. Following someone is like “friending” them in Facebook or a connection in LinkedIn. Some people on Twitter have thousands of followers, while others follow hundreds and thousands. Since this is very hard to keep track off, Tweetdeck becomes a great tool. I’ll talk more about Twitter a bit later, but I want you to know that I personally thought that Twitter was a silly tool when I started. Once I got into it though, I have found that it is a powerful tool. We’ve actually done business partnerships through Twitter, and it drives about 10% of my total website traffic now. So, if you’re not on Twitter, today’s a good day. If you have any questions, just follow me and send me a note, I can walk you through. TweetDeck is a Twitter management system where I can see real time what is going on regarding our brands and our key searches. TweetDeck allows you to set searches ahead of time, and as something is typed in, like “content marketing” I can look up that person or be directed to the article being discussed. Incredibly valuable. In this screen, I can see all the people I follow on the left hand side, people talking to me under replies, and then anyone talking about me at all in the 3 rd Column.
- Once you’ve mastered listening, you can distribute your RSS content feeds automatically using a free tool like Twitterfeed.
- Now, I prefer using a phrase match to my google alerts. A phrase match is, as you see here, I put quotation marks around the term I want to be notified on. This means that content and marketing must be next to each other in order for me to get an update. What you might want to do is start with the general search and see how relevant the results are. If there are too many non-relevant returns, then use can change it at any time to a phrase match.
- Of all the listening tools out there, Google Alerts is probably the one I use the most. The way Google Alerts works is that I can monitor keywords and brand names, and whenever anyone mentions them pretty much anywhere on the Internet, I’ll get a notification. As a rule, when anyone blogs about me, my company, or my book, I want to know about it and comment to them. Google Alerts helps me find most of this. But where this is really of value is to find out what people are saying around they topics that are important to you and your company. For example, by monitoring the term “content marketing” over the past couple years, I’ve really gained insight into how the definition has broadened and how more people are using the term in general. Also, we can help shape the conversation through our own content because we know what’s being talked about on other sites.
- And here’s what it looks like when I get the email. So, in this alert, someone at bizsugar blogged about my article, Patsi Krakoff is talking about content marketing – so I should go comment there, and the third one discusses a company that offers content marketing and social media – definitely have to check that out.
