Content marketing might sound like industry jargon, but we promise you that you should sit up and pay attention. Think of content marketing as copywriting for the next generation. Whether you believe print is dead or set for a comeback, writing for the Internet is here to stay.
Anyone can create a blog and post on it, so how do you distinguish yourself in the feeds of your friends, colleagues, and industry professionals? If you’re just dipping your toes in these murky waters, where do you start? If you’re experienced in creating traditional content, how can you take your background and translate it to copywriting for the Internet?
During this presentation, Andy Crestodina will give you the rundown on the ins and outs of content marketing so you can be a pro at writing for the web. He’ll cover the following:
- What’s content marketing? Is this stuff new?
- Which marketing channels are involved in content marketing?
- How do you find the topics that will connect with an audience?
- How is writing for web different?
- How do search engines work?
Bonus: Andy will also share a few tricks for managing social media.
