Are You Just Creating More Fodder for the Online Content Wasteland?
Content marketing is a powerful tool that can help you to sell more and gain more customers. But if you think you can just post average “me too” content up there and see results, then you’re fooling yourself. Check out this infographic from Column Five and Domo to see what you’re really up against…
Unique Content in Demand More Than Ever
Online content was once a rare thing. But now it has become a commodity. You can’t just post any-old, average content anymore and expect to see results. But that DOESN’T mean that content marketing and content creation are a waste of time. In fact, I would say it’s needed more than ever. The good news is that even though content is now a commodity, unique content is in demand more than ever. In fact, I’d say that if you’re going to create content, then it has to be original. It has to stand out. Otherwise it’s a waste of time. But IF your content is engaging and original, then you will stand out from the pack and you will build a valuable audience made up of prospects and customers. You’ll go from chasing prospects to attracting them to you, your business, or organization. But you’re probably wondering, “How do I create engaging and original content?”
Success Leaves Clues
One of the most powerful ideas I’ve ever heard was when I read these words, “Success leaves clues.” That’s powerful! Do you understand what that means? If you can learn the methods that someone else used to succeed, then you can do the same thing. Tony Robbins said in his best selling book Unlimited Power, “If you want to achieve success, all you need to do is find a way to model those who have already succeeded.” My question for you is this: Whose success clues are you studying when it comes to content marketing? Without a proven content marketing model will be much harder for you to achieve! Where do you go to find those clues and proven content marketing models? I have a solution for you.
Amazon Reviews for 51 Content Marketing Hacks
I was able to get a preview copy of this book, and I loved it. This is an excellent resource for marketers or business owners that are trying to build an engaged audience over time. I love the simple use of companies employing content marketing strategies, and how any-sized business can implement simple steps to build a loyal readership.

There’s no mystery to the basic mechanics of creativity. Take one idea from one context… combine it with a different idea from another context… and poof! Presto-changeo, you’ve got a brand new idea. Creativity, accomplished. Easily said. But when it comes to actually doing the above steps in the real world, most people hit a very thick brick wall. Why? Because the *how* of creativity remains an unfathomable mystery, to most people.
And this is where Scott Aughtmon’s book really shines. He takes the wraps off the little-understood details of the process, by showing you, in simple steps anyone can understand, what to do and how to do it. He does this once… not twice… but 51 times.
That’s important, because there is an epidemic of NON-creativity in most Web and print content that’s designed to move a prospect closer to becoming a customer. To use what Scott shows you how to do, in your own content, can make a big difference in how much your customers spend and how long they stay with you.
I’m REALLY impressed by 51 Content Marketing Hacks. I will be recommending it to my private mentoring clients and even borrowing a handful of examples (with full attribution to Scott) in some of my own forthcoming books. Well worth getting, studying, using… and profiting from yourself!
Disclaimer: I received an advance review copy of this book. I was not compensated to write this review. I wrote it because I liked the book. What I wrote is pretty much the same as what I would tell anyone I know who asked me about the book.
