CONTENT MARKETING: HOW TO BUILD AN AUDIENCE THAT BUILDS YOUR BUSINESS<br />

10. Go to social media ... once you’ve got something<br />

to talk about<br />

Do you notice how much “how to sell something on the Internet” advice starts<br />

with getting a zillion Twitter followers or Facebook likes?<br />

That’s the kind of false shortcut that will kill your progress.<br />

Social media audiences will start spreading the gospel about you as soon as you<br />

give them something worthwhile to talk about.<br />

Don’t try to rush to Step 10 of the checklist when Step 3 is still giving you<br />

trouble.<br />

Just like building the foundation of a beautiful house, if you do the steps in<br />

order, you’ll have something solid that will serve you for many, many years to<br />

come.<br />

Ultimately, that should be your objective when you set out develop and execute<br />

a content marketing strategy.<br />

<strong>Content</strong> marketing is not a short-term game plan for immediate gains. It is a<br />

proven, long-term strategy for building an audience that builds and sustains<br />

your business.<br />
