11 Content Marketing Planning Tips for 2015Mike Corak
This presentation, given by Jay Baer and Mike Corak, covers the top 11 +1 bonus content marketing tips for use in company's content marketing planning processes. Entering the new year it is critical to understand Tactically where the discipline is headed, Strategically how to create and what to consider in your plan, and Operationally how to pull of your your planned activity with processes and resources alike.
“Topics, not Keywords: How to Make Content Work for Brands with Google Hummingbird”
The presentation provides valuable insight as search engines move away from keywords and into semantics to find the best answer for a users’ inquiry.
The gist is that search evolution toward the semantic web is good news for content marketers in that the need for keyword-focused content is being replaced by thematic relevance and authority. Google is essentially catching up to what user-focused content should have always been.
The punch line is that future success in content marketing will be more dependent on system building than line-level content production and output. Create a centralized content strategy and integrated delivery systems to guide your content marketing efforts now.
Per the theme of the conference, one way content marketing creates value for customers is when its output is usable for both businesses and users. Unfortunately, what’s sometimes created is not usable content—it’s often a blog post developed to plug a missing SEO ranking for a keyword.
But what does result in something usable is when content is developed around a theme a brand is authentically authoritative on—coming from a true point of understanding user intent—and that the brand is proactively anticipating and creating content to be as useful and evergreen as possible.
All you have to do is ask yourself what kind of content would BEST fulfill users’ needs?

Visualizing Visual Content - Digital Summit Phoenix 2014Mike Corak
It doesn't take a research study to show that demand for engaging visual content is growing, both from consumers and marketers. Where consumer demand is high, brands are quick to follow as marketers adopt visually reliant communication platforms like YouTube, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Vine and more. Truth be told, for most brands, current libraries unfortunately lack the kinds of assets consumers are responding to, and marketers are challenged to meet quality expectations with quality content. The need to create is strong, but run-of-the-mill visual content and promotion is no longer enough. These higher expectations represent an opportunity for brands that are ready to take the challenge on. Learn in this session why visual content is worth investing in and get tips on how brands can strategically plan for and deploy exceptional experiences specifically designed to maximize value.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
