Summary

The proven entrepreneurial model that breaks all the rules

Build your audience first. Then create your product.

This is the simple but profoundly successful entrepreneurial approach of one of today's most creative business minds.

A pioneer of content marketing, Joe Pulizzi has cracked the code when it comes to the power of content in a world where marketers still hold fast to traditional models that no longer work. In Content Inc., he breaks down the business-startup process into six steps, making it simple for you to visualize, launch, and monetize your own business. These steps are:

  • The "Sweet Spot": Identify the intersection of your unique competency and your personal passion
  • Content Tilting: Determine how you can "tilt" your sweet spot to find a place where little or no competition exists
  • Building the Base: Establish your number-one channel for disseminating content (blog, podcast, YouTube, etc.)
  • Harvesting Audience: Use social-media and SEO to convert one-time visitors into long-term subscribers
  • Diversification: Grow your business by expanding into multiple delivery channels
  • Monetization: Now that your expertise is established, you can begin charging money for your products or services

This model has worked wonders for Pulizzi and countless other examples detailed in the audiobook. Connect these six pieces like a puzzle, and before you know it you'll be running your own profitable, scalable business.

Pulizzi walks you step by step through the process based on his own success (and failures) and real-world multimillion-dollar examples from multiple industries and countries.

Whether you're seeking to start a brand-new business or drive innovation in an existing one, Content Inc. provides everything you need to reverse engineer the traditional entrepreneurial model for better, more sustainable success.

good advice

the first part of the book was more relevant to me. I was looking to get advice for starting my own co tent venture and Joe certainly gave me that. the later stages were a bit deep as I haven't really started. so when my blog takes off I'll come back to read it again.

nothing new, even to a newbie like me. 20 words,

so I can' review with less than 20 words? I wasted my time listening to a guy promoting his busness and now I must write more than 20 words for my review to be posted? Thank you Audible Not!!

A Most for any Content Marketers!

Excellent listen. Very insightful and I took a lot from Joe's words. I will certainly be implementing a large proportion of what was discussed in the audiobook to my current business. A must listen for any Content Marketers!

Good general info

Narrator difficult to listen to. Good general info, too many ads. Bottom line is do not expect success overnight, it will take years.

Everything for creating content marketing.

Awesome audio book! Just brilliant.

I always wondered about the how content makes money. But only did this book offer loads of tips of making money but also give a step-by-step guide to making great content.

Meanders to the plate, hits a home run

Great content in the second half of the book... Highly actionable and motivating. If you're already convinced you want a business rather than a job, and that content is the way to go, you can skip the first quarter of the book.

Decent, but could be better

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed it and nice narration but i did feel some of the advice was maybe a bit unrealistic - either that or maybe just too centred on the US markets or something? Decent book tho
