The Content Marketing Marathon
Set Your Goals [START]
Most marathon runners have a coach and a strategy - a reason for running, a plan and metrics for success. Catch up with the 43% of companies that have a content executive in place.
Training
Runners spend months training- you'll need to do the same. Pick your topic, listen to your customers' needs and establish an editorial calendar.
Your Fans
Supporters are what keep marathon runners going. Your supporters are your internal and external content marketing teams.
The Right Tools
Runners use sneakers and stop watches to help them cross the finish line. Use content marketing specific technology such as a curation platform.
Pace Yourself
Make the most out each mile you run. In other words, get the most mileage out of a great piece of content before moving on to the next piece.
Drink Plenty of Water
Keep a consistent flow of content by using curation. Content curation supports your cration strategy just like water fuels marathan runners.
Encourage other Runners [Finish]
Being a team player is a major part of a marathon. When you help out others around you, everyone wins.
