Book Description

October 24, 2011 Que Biz-Tech
If you have a website, a blog, or even a Facebook or Twitter presence, you are a publisher. Think like one: build a digital content strategy that embraces words, images and multimedia to systematically enhance consumer engagement and conversion rates. In Content Marketing, world-renowned digital content expert Rebecca Lieb offers all the detailed, actionable guidance you'll need. Lieb guides you through planning what you'll say online, how and where you'll say it, how often you'll communicate, and how you'll measure your effectiveness. She offers practical guidance for "listening" to conversations about your brand, products, and services, responding more effectively, and effectively informing those conversations. You'll learn how to use your digital content strategy to shape marketing, branding, PR, SEO, customer and media relations, blog content, social media initiatives, and of course, your website. Lieb drills down to offer detailed, actionable advice for issues such as choosing distribution channels making sure you don't run out of things to say making your content "findable" promoting two-way dialogue. Using her techniques, you can market far more effectively and personally build loyalty as you inform and entertain customers and reduce or even eliminate advertising costs. Think about it: why buy media when, today, you are the media?

Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Too many small businesses are totally unaware of the potential offered by the Internet. They may have a website, but it's really nothing more than a business card. For many years I have been telling my customers that they need to generate content if they want to stand out in the ocean of websites. I don't think any of them ever listened to me, but they certainly should and this book is what they should read now.

I can find fault with this, but it's minor. For example, if I had written the section on Social Bookmarking, I would have been sure to mention the dangers of only bookmarking your own content. However a later section goes into detail about curating other people's content.

I also found the books message on advertising to be a bit muddied. Page 7 tells us "on the internet, practically no one is searching for an ad." When I read that and the bit that followed about how content is better than advertising. I was wondering if she was about to denounce advertising entirely. No, not at all, as later sections make clear.

But I'm carping. In 200 pages or so, this really is a great fly-by of what you need to know. I'd recommend it for the owners or top managers of small to medium companies so that they can understand what their web and media people are up to. The examples of real companies are inspiring. Imagine a company with 73 separate blogs that share the common theme of selling the companies soldering products! Why 73? It's one for every keyword they identified.

This is current enough to include Google+, by the way, though not quite current enough to mention that G+ has opened business pages. I don't see that as any great problem, of course. This is the orientation book, the book you'd use to understand the landscape. Details are always changing and anybody who reads this surely understands that.

Content Marketing is good book for people who want or need an initial understanding of Content Marketing.

I read it in a couple of hours on a plane ride. This makes it a good book to share with senior executives and others to help explain "why we're taking this approach to marketing". We all need that. We're all working with a few who "get it," surrounded by far too many who don't.

Given the significant mind, strategy and budget shifts required for organizations to pursue this course, making the case for content marketing is the first challenge proponents usually face.

Given the "dabbling" approaches and under performance organizations experience, having the plan and discipline to execute effectively is the next challenge.

Given the collaborative nature of content marketing, if the people we work with and require to provide key inputs (subject exerts) don't understand, the velocity, effectiveness and outcomes of this approach are significantly reduced. This book can help.

Content Marketing is one of my top 5 picks for 2011. Rebecca Lieb does an amazing job of using specific real world examples of what to do and what not to do. She lists the reasoning behind those thoughts. You do 'this' because.... Try to avoid doing 'that' because... Which is extremely helpful so you understand not just the how-to but the why-to. The chapters are well thought out and succinct. The advice is specific and actionable. She packs a ton of information into a small space. My brain felt 'well fed' after reading it. The layout of the book lends itself to reading it in bursts. I highly recommend the book.

my only 'complaint': p.59 famous vs infamous. :) James T. Kirk.
