Where to find your content
jackpot
#Minnebar
Get yourself some data
#Minnebar
• With exclusive facts, figures, measurements and knowledge that no one else has, you can create completely original content everyone will want.
• Information must be valuable.
• Know your niche and know your audience so you can easily serve up information they crave.
#Minnebar
ASK
• Survey your clients/audience and use the results for many purposes.
• Blog posts, articles, news releases, white papers, case studies can all come from a simple question or two you ask.
#Minnebar
• Contact and interview a highly desirable expert that few people have access to.
• CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, well-respected people in your industry, geniuses that have great info to offer, but no one’s asked them for it yet.
INTERVIEW
#Minnebar
STORYTELLING
• If you’re got a good story, tell it – warts and all.
• Sharing human experience is powerful and human interest stories have the ability to be both universal and unique.
#Minnebar
COLLABORATE
• Team up with a competitor and work together to tell the story of how you’d both tackle a common problem.
• Work with a complementary organization to show the power of partnership and how you’d use your skills to do amazing things.
• Share that content and be shared by your co-creators and their fans.
#Minnebar
PROBLEM = SOLUTION
• If you point out a problem, offer solutions.
• Ask your audience for ideas, problems and solutions as well.
• Crowdsourcing is a great way to generate money, excitement and suggestions, but use it wisely and sparingly.
#Minnebar
SHARE NOTES
• When you attend an event, live tweet about it and write a wrap-up later.
• Give people a feel for the event and a concise report of the information shared.
• People will thank you for being their virtual eyes & ears and will share with others.
#Minnebar
GO BIG
#Minnebar
You’ve got:
Now What??
#Minnebar
• Create a slide show presentation and upload it to SlideShare for the world to see and share.
• Break your content down into simple, visual slides and give people a ready-made presentation featuring YOU!
• Take full (and free) advantage of one of the world’s leading education and e-learning tools – 60 million monthly visitors.
#Minnebar
• YouTube has a huge community of users (more than 1 billion unique users each month). If you don’t have a YouTube channel, get one.
• Repurpose content or film original content, but keep it brief and simple.
• People pay attention to faces and voices and movement grabs attention. Video provides a human connection.
#Minnebar
• Break long-form written pieces (white papers, case studies, survey data) into shorter blog posts.
• The story behind a photo or video transcripts can be turned into blog posts as well.
• If it happens, blog about it. Why? Because 81 percent of U.S. online consumers trust information & advice from blogs and 61 percent have made a purchase based on recommendations from a blog.
#Minnebar
• Create shareable buzz – leak important news and content via an exclusive webinar or G+ Hangout.
• A webinar is a great way to engage people and give them in-depth information about how to creatively utilize information you provide.
#Minnebar
buzz
• Go in-depth with your content and create a longer white paper or e-book with exclusive information and observations.
• Lay out the issue, present a solution (or multiple solutions) and make a subtle business case for how brilliant you are to have collected the information and how you can help readers put it to good use.
• White papers and e-books are great “free offers” to get people to sign up for email marketing subscription lists. Content as a lead generation tool.
