How to Write a Content Marketing Plan Step-by-StepBuffer
A complete guide to building a comprehensive content strategy. Full post at http://blog.bufferapp.com/content-marketing-strategy (and a free template!)
In 2013, Content Marketing Institute released its first Content Marketing Framework. At the time, its purpose was to serve as a high-level view of the principles that govern the world of brand storytelling. Since then, CMI has worked with more than 100 brands, helping them put these core principles into practice. These partnerships have taught us a lot about which parts of the framework worked, which didn’t, and where we still needed to provide greater clarity and transparency. To reflect the insights we gained – as well as the many shifts that have occurred across the entire digital ecosystem – we’ve streamlined our original discussion, and have added a distinct new process model to each node. What follows is our redesigned Content Marketing Framework.
The 5 most persuasive words in the English language are You, Free, Because, Instantly, and New. Using these power words in your digital marketing and social media updates can unlock huge potential.
And the list doesn't stop there. We found a huge selection of words that convert - 189 in total - to help you reach your audience with exclusivity, security, and impact.

What comes to mind when you think of remote work?
In our experience, it’s not only one image. Remote work comes in many different shapes and sizes. We are a fully distributed team at Buffer, meaning that we have no office and everyone chooses to work from where they’re happiest: both geographically (we have teammates across the world) and functionally (we have teammates who use coworking spaces, coffee shops, home offices—even an RV).
We’re grateful to be part of this movement along with many other companies and individuals who are embracing remote work. In the U.S. alone, 43% of the workforce has spent at least some time working remotely, and that number has steadily increased throughout recent years.
With the goal to better understand the remote work landscape and to see where remote work is headed next, we teamed up with Workfrom and Hubstaff to collect data from over 1,900 remote workers around the world and create the first State of Remote Work report for 2018.

Social Media Strategy: How Much Time Does a Good Strategy Take?Buffer
Does juggling social media management along with an armful of other task sound familiar to you? If so, I thought it might be helpful to detail what I’ve found so far and to show what all’s involved in the way that we go about managing our social media strategy at Buffer.
One thing we’ve learned at Buffer is that being open to not knowing things seems to be the best way to learn quickly and teach others at the same time. So many of our biggest hits on the blog have come from saying, “We don’t know the answer. Let’s find out!”
On many matters, we haven’t any authority.
Is this an okay way to get by?
We’ve found great success in not knowing, and there’s no reason why you can’t, too. While we can certainly see the value in establishing yourself as an authority in your industry, being the answer-man or answer-woman isn’t the be-all, end-all of your options.
You can survive and thrive by embracing “I don’t know.”
Here’s what we’ve learned so far.
