I define it as the mindset, culture and approach to delivering your customer’s information needs in all the places they are searching for it, across each stage of the buying process. It is a strategic approach to managing content as an asset, with a quantifiable ROI.

THE CONTENT CONUNDRUM
27
How do you identify good content?
Recognize Your Own Brilliance. Every day you read things, have original thoughts, create content (newsletters, white papers, blogs, presentations) that your audience would appreciate or relate to so...
• Set aside 20-30 minutes a day to think about what you did yesterday or today— what projects you are working on, lessons you have learned, things you have read, observations you have made, discussions you have had with co-workers, etc.
• Read accounts of brands or people you respect to see what they are posting.
• Make a list and eventually, you will get in the habit of recognizing good content.

28
How do you connect with an audience?
The Talk Show Rule. Guests that are featured on a talk show (Letterman, Leno, etc.) spend about five minutes talking about relevant news, events, anecdotes or personal stories and only two minutes plugging their project; e.g., a movie or book.
• Apply the same rule to social media content.
• Keep content fresh by mixing relevant news, stories, humor and valuable information with promotional messages.
• This helps build a community versus being an ad.

29
How do you apply it to social?
Be The Cool Kid. You don’t develop a “cool” reputation overnight and not everyone is genuinely liked, so work on building your “cool kid cred” online.
• For every company-related post (content push), seek out 3-5 opportunities to retweet, comment or compliment followers, fans or connections.
• The more users notice you engaging and participating, the more likely they are to return the favor.
• The more “social spectators” who see you conversing, the more intrigued they will be to closely follow and eventually be a part of the "clique."
• Be genuine with your comments and compliments. Don’t repurpose, re-imagine. Users will see right through a shallow or two-timing comment/compliment.

A Shifting Mentality.
• Too much content is noise.
• A Facebook post isn’t content, it’s a snippet.
• When a brand posts on Facebook twice a day, the second posts only receive 57% of the “likes” and 78% of the comments that a single post receives.
• Brands are not media companies.
• This isn’t an excuse to skimp on content; it’s a responsibility to produce solid content.
