13 Content Syndication Distribution Channels Manual Syndication A Targeted Approach for Free Thought Leadership Opportunities Example, Financial Businesses can Syndicate Content on SeekingAlpha.Com for Free Industry-Specific Guest Blogging Opportunities All Below Examples Solicit Guest Blogging: Health and Fitness: Psychology.com Parenting: BabyCenter.com Travel: InspiringTravelers.com Try to Get Industry-Specific Influencers with Large Followings to Share, Retweet, and Promote Your Content by Procuring a Relationship Over Time Many Industry-Specific Sites and Blogs Are Looking for Good, Quality Content that is Unique Identifying Manual Syndication Opportunities: A Simple Place to Start Social Media Sites Sites Like LinkedIn Have Many Groups that Post Frequently; Following Articles and Users Helps to Expose Guest Blog Opportunities, Industry Influencers, and More Search Engines Googling Industry-Specific Terms Coupled with the Words, Reviews, Groups, Community, Forums, and More Can Identify Syndication Opportunities Bookmarks and Newsletters Many of Your Current Industry News Sources May Already Accept Submissions and Can Help Identify Current Thought Leaders, Influencers in Your Industry
14 Content Syndication Distribution Channels Non-Paid Syndication Submission Process Can Range from Simply Submitting a Link to Your Blog, to Creating a Full Profile and Directly Uploading Original Content with a Backlink Scoop.it a Content Curation Site That Organizes Posts in a Newspaper Format Inbound.org Largely Focused on the Marketing World, Covers Everything From SEO to Social Reddit Very Popular, A Wide Range of Content is Shared with a Large Online Community Digg One of the Most Popular Sites on the Web, Great Place to Get Traffic for Your Blog Posts Blog Catalog A Site Where People Go to Read the Best Blogs from Across the Web Blogging Influencers Industry experts to share your content Through Industry Sources Partner to have your content sent out through industry authorities and associations No Guarantees Much Like Press Releases and Newswire Submissions, Non-Paid Syndication is Largely Subject to Pick-Up and Adoption; Attention Will Vary Greatly Based on the Quality of the Content and Relevancy to the Syndication Audience

16 Paid Syndication Examples
17 What It Looks Like
18 Developing A Content Calendar A Comprehensive Calendar Helps Organize, Track, and Manage Often Times It is Simply an Excel Spreadsheet that Includes Some or All of the Following: Content Title (Headline) A Title Recommendation Can Be a Helpful Guide for the Author Content Due Date This is When the Content Should be Turned in for Review and Edit Publish Date The Date the Content is Intended to Go Live Content Type i.e. Blog Post, Infographic, Webinar, Video, Long-Form Article Publishing Destination i.e. Blog, Website, LinkedIn, Twitter, Media Entity, Media Type Owned (Corporate Blog, Social), Earned (Guest Blog, Press Pick-Up), Paid (Outbrain, Taboola) Assigned Writer/Author The Person Responsible for Creating the Content Target Audience, Buyer Persona This is the Intended Audience and Will Help Guide the Themes, Narrative, and Tone of the Content Buying Stage, Buyer Journey i.e. Top of Funnel (TOFU), Middle of Funnel (MOFU), Bottom of Funnel (BOFU) OR Designate Goal as Awareness, Create Preference, Purchase, etc.
19 Best Times to Post on Social Media 1 LinkedIn 93% of B2B Marketers Rate LinkedIn as the Top B2B Social Media for Lead Gen Best Days: Tues through Thurs, (Worst Days are Monday and Friday) Best Times of the Day: 10-11a Most Shares/Clicks, 7-8a and 5-6p Best Times to Post Twitter Best Days: Mon-Fri (B2B), Wed-Sun (B2C) Best Times of the Day: 12p and 6p Have Highest CTR, 5p has Highest Retweets Facebook Best Days: Thursday and Friday Specific Industries Vary Slightly, but Most are Successful Towards the End of the Week Best Times of the Day: 1p Gets Most Shares, 3p Gets Most Clicks Pintrest Saturday, 8-11p (Friday at 3p for Fashion) Instagram Monday, 3-4p is Best, but Fairly Consistent Throughout the Week Google+ Mon-Fri, 9-11a 1 QuickSprout.com ( )
20 Defining Metrics to Gauge Success Success Metrics Will Depend on Your Business and Goals i.e. Leads vs Online Purchases, Awareness vs Creating Preference, Audience Generation vs Brand Reputation Thought Leadership Takes Time Everyone Wants to Jump Straight to ROI, but Understanding Reach, Frequency, and Engagement Will Tell You if You are on the Right Track Pageviews The Most Direct Way to Tell if Your Blog, Video, or Infographic are Attracting Visitors New vs Returning Users Which Content is Attracting New? Is Quality Bringing Them Back? Average Time on Site, Bounce Rate Good Indicators for Gauging Content Quality Referring Traffic, Backlinking Especially Helpful for Syndicated Content, Identifying Sources Social Media Metrics These Will Vary By Channel Shares, Retweets, Follows Helps Measure Audience Reach, Adoption Likes, Comments, Direct Messaging Helps Measure Audience Engagement , Newsletter Subscribers Good Indicator You Have Become a Trusted Information Source Leads, Inquiries, Purchases Yes, Often this is the Primary Goal, but Also Helps Guide Content ROI Perhaps the Ultimate Metric; Sometimes Hard to Quantify, but Can Be Typically Gauge if Cost of Content Creation, Management, and Syndication are Remunerative
21 Marketing Automation, Service Provider Options How Do You Keep Up and Scale? While Initially Manageable, Over Time the Volume of Content Development, Scheduling, Follow-Up, and More May Become Overwhelming Leveraging a Marketing Automation Platform or Digital Agency May Be Your Best Option Marketing Automation Best for In-House Marketing Teams What Is It? A Platform That Connects Multiple Touch Points and Marketing Channels Including Social Media, Marketing, and Content Marketing Through A Single Interface What are the Benefits? A Single-Point of Entry for Managing Content Scheduling, Personalization, Cross Channel Attribution, Integration, Conversion Funnel Targeting, and More Platform Examples: HubSpot, Marketo, Infusionsoft, Eloqua, Unica Myth vs Fact Automation Does Not Mean These Platforms are Plug and Play Autonomous Entities That Do All the Work for You, You Still Need a Team to Run the Platform - The Platform Largely Helps You Drive More Value, Volume out of a Finite Team Resources Digital Marketing Agency Agencies with Experience in Thought Leadership and Content Syndication can Provide a Turn-Key Solution for Supplementing Existing In-House Teams, or Handle All Content Marketing Needs for Companies that Lack Any Internal Resources, Platforms
22 In Summary Thought Leadership is the Strategic Delivery of Innovative Ideas, Relevant Advice, and Experience-Based Solutions Across Many Different Channels Both Online and In-Person Be Clear, Consistent with Your Brand You Are What You Publish and You Will Publish A Lot Develop a Strategy and Execute Your Plan Accordingly Companies That Clearly Define a Plan and Regularly Measure Against that Plan See 60% Faster Growth than Those who Don t 1 Define Your Target Audience and Develop Relevant, Compelling Content Accordingly Publish Where Your Audience Goes for News Tap Into Industry-Specific Channels, Work to Become a Trusted Advisor, Consider Paid Syndication as well as Organic Self-Publishing Create a Content Calendar Organize the Who, What, Where, and When; Be Sure to Allow Enough Time Because Quality Trumps Quantity Define Metrics to Gauge Measurable Success Leading Indicators Like Follows and Website Visits Can Be Helpful to Identify Channels and Tactics that are Resulting in Sales and Inquiries Leverage a Marketing Automation Platform or Service Provider if Volume, Quantity, or Engagement Become Overwhelming to Manage 1 Madill, C. & Osiyevskyy, O.
