Augmenting Content
Augmenting Content
Engaging content?
• Delivers value
• Attracts attention and keeps it

• Gets readers ask for more



•   For your specific, targeted audience
Augmenting Content
Augmenting Content
Augmenting Content
Multiple kinds of
                   “content”
•   Core destination that you own
    •   That continiously delivers value
    •   Where you can fully control the experience
•   Social media channels
    •   To generate interest, attention, activity
•   Real life events
    •   That need to support your on-line efforts, and vice versa
Social media
• Social media is fickle
• People follow, like, retweet you, pin you
    •   And then they forget you
    •   Or the landlord starts changing the rules
•   You need to keep building your own destination
    •   Focal point for your audiences
    •   Place for community
Your destination
• You need to publish fresh content regularly
• It needs to cater to your target audience

• It shouldn not be an island
Publishing regularly?
•   Create content internally?
    •   You first need to create a voice, “seed” your identity
•   Procure it externally?


•   Help others and others will help you
    •   Guest blogging
•   Have an editorial calendar !
Where to get ideas?
•   Creating your own, unique identity
    •   This requirement leads to creative blocks
    •   Your content is not perfect expression of your brand
• Never be afraid to simply join the conversation
• Research, get inspired, curate in a smart way:
Augmenting Content
Connect and relate
• Don't be selfish
• Don't be an island

• Connect, link out to:
    •   your sources
    •   other people and brands that inspire you
    •   simply good content for your readers
Case study
•Used Zemanta WordPress Plugin for image
recommendations and connecting to other blogs in
their niche.

•   Would periodically link to LifeHacker articles.

http://bloggingyourpassion.com/how-using-the-zemanta-wordpress-plugin-can-increase-your-blog-traffic/
•Strategy paid off as one of the Lifehacker bloggers
took notice and linked back to one of Blogging
Your Passion posts

•   This resulted in nearly 5,000 visits.

• 6 other bloggers wrote about the same topic and
linked back to the original post.
And be vivid
•   Images & videos
    •   If nothing else add images of cute dogs and cats!
•   Polls, Surveys, Votes
    •   Allow for interaction
•   Comments
    •   Make sure you have a feedback channel
Images are expansive?
• Stock photography for blogs is affordable
• CreativeCommons on Flickr (100M images)

• Why not create your own imagery?
Case study




Skyword study found an average increase of 94% for articles that
included an image or infographic .
http://skyword.com/blog/96-skyword-study-add-images-to-improve-content-performance.html
Oh, so what is this Zemanta thing?

•   Personal writing assistant
    •   Because computers should be smart
•   Helps with recommendations while writing :
    •   Images
    •   In-text links (Wikipedia, authoritative sites)
    •   Related articles (Blogs, big & small media)
    •   Tags (so people can find your content)
Augmenting Content
Augmenting Content
Augmenting Content
The most important take away:

• Don't be a
  content island!
• It's lonely

• No space to grow
Build bridges
• Connect you and
  your audience
• Provide a place

  to meet
• Don't be all about

  me, me & me
• Build links and

  relationships!
Thank you!

  • 12. Where to get ideas? • Creating your own, unique identity • This requirement leads to creative blocks • Your content is not perfect expression of your brand • Never be afraid to simply join the conversation • Research, get inspired, curate in a smart way:
  • 14. Connect and relate • Don't be selfish • Don't be an island • Connect, link out to: • your sources • other people and brands that inspire you • simply good content for your readers
  • 15. Case study •Used Zemanta WordPress Plugin for image recommendations and connecting to other blogs in their niche. • Would periodically link to LifeHacker articles. http://bloggingyourpassion.com/how-using-the-zemanta-wordpress-plugin-can-increase-your-blog-traffic/
  • 16. •Strategy paid off as one of the Lifehacker bloggers took notice and linked back to one of Blogging Your Passion posts • This resulted in nearly 5,000 visits. • 6 other bloggers wrote about the same topic and linked back to the original post.
  • 17. And be vivid • Images & videos • If nothing else add images of cute dogs and cats! • Polls, Surveys, Votes • Allow for interaction • Comments • Make sure you have a feedback channel
  • 18. Images are expansive? • Stock photography for blogs is affordable • CreativeCommons on Flickr (100M images) • Why not create your own imagery?
  • 19. Case study Skyword study found an average increase of 94% for articles that included an image or infographic . http://skyword.com/blog/96-skyword-study-add-images-to-improve-content-performance.html
  • 20. Oh, so what is this Zemanta thing? • Personal writing assistant • Because computers should be smart • Helps with recommendations while writing : • Images • In-text links (Wikipedia, authoritative sites) • Related articles (Blogs, big & small media) • Tags (so people can find your content)
  • 24. The most important take away: • Don't be a content island! • It's lonely • No space to grow
  • 25. Build bridges • Connect you and your audience • Provide a place to meet • Don't be all about me, me & me • Build links and relationships!
