EPISODE\\xa0

Content marketing is about giving value first and thinking about money second, and Joe is a true practitioner of the methodology (and he does remarkably well with it). There are plenty of companies who are creating content simply for the sake of putting stuff out there, but aren\'t actually creating anything of value, nor forming relationships with customers. Instead of spreading yourself thin, you\\u2019ve got to stick to one platform and grow your base and expand from there. There\\u2019s a way to give value that earns, and a way that doesn\'t, and that\'s what Joe is an expert on.

We discuss awesome tips on:

\\u2022 Why Joe knows what content he is going to repurpose 12 months beforehand

\\u2022 How to find the topic that you are passionate about that also has a valuable niche

\\u2022 The six-step method to monetizing your earned media

\\u2022 The real guide to what makes a viral hit

STEP UP YOUR MARKETING GAME!

1. Before you make goals for your external communication, look at your internal communication. How do your employees feel about your company and its goals and ideals?

2. Start a plan about how you can repurpose content in the future-how do you want the story to transition? What are other potential ways that people might enjoy consuming your content?

3. Find your sweet spot. What do you know a lot about that you love?
