Engaging content?
•
    Delivers value
•
    Attracts attention and keeps it
•
    Connects and builds relationships
Multiple kinds of
                    “content”
•
    Social media channels
     •
         To generate interest, attention, activity
•
    Real life content
     •
         To support your online efforts, and vice versa
•
    Core destination that you own
     •
         That continuously delivers value
     •
         Where you can fully control the experience
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
Real life content
Destination that you own
•
    You need to publish fresh content regularly
•
    It needs to cater to your target audience
•
    It should not be an island
But how?
Robots are coming?
Exoskeletons
Or like this
Cycle of content
•
    Idea / Inspiration
•
    Writing or obtaining content
•
    Optimize, enhance
•
    Connect
•
    Distribution
Getting over
               the writer's block
•
    Creating your own, unique writing identity
     •
         High expectations lead to creative blocks
     •
         Your content is not perfect expression of yourself or your brand
•
    Never be afraid to simply join the conversation
•
    Research, get inspired, curate in a smart way:
Content “on demand”?
•
    Works if you know what you are doing
•
    Help others and others will help you
     •
         Engaging guest bloggers
•
    Procuring the content you need for your site
Optimize, enhance
•
    Search Engine Optimization



•
    Professional copy editing


    Or basic spell & grammar checker
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.
Connecting efficiently?
Zemanta

•
    Personal writing assistant
    •
        By now computers can 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)
Use images




  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
Takeaways
Use a force multiplier
Age of smart
Don't be an island

•
    Don't be a
    content island!
•
    It's lonely
•
    No space to grow
Build bridges
Thank you!
