What are the online tools available to jumpstart your content marketing? How can these tools help to improve your content marketing efforts?
To help you to sharpen your content marketing game, I have decided to pull together some of the available content marketing frameworks, templates and tools out there.
Nobody reads blogs anymore. Many blogs are just egoistic exercises in self-aggrandizement.
Besides, consumers no longer trust these so-called “social media influencers” with their #OOTDs (Outfits Of The Day), selfies, and larger-than-life egos.
Do you recognise these social influencers? (via Singapore Blog Awards 2014)
What can brands do to improve the outcomes of their digital marketing efforts by working with influencers? How can they harness the power of influencer marketing?
As a content and social media marketing person, I often pondered these questions.
Looking at the breadth of brands on social media, I noticed that the most successful ones either work closely with influencers to magnify their marketing might, or end up becoming influencers themselves.
Do you know that companies are literally losing billions of dollars each year by pissing off their customers? Or that it costs 6 to 7 times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one?
It always amazes me why companies would rather focus on acquiring new customers through social media than care for existing ones.

What does it take to succeed as a social media influencer? Do you need to have a cute face, a great bod, or a stunning personality?
I believe that anybody can be an influencer regardless of his or her seniority, age, societal status, personality or looks.
Contrary to popular belief, social media marketing isn’t rocket science. Neither is it just a walk in the park.
After spending a decade dabbling in social media marketing – from blogs to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest – I developed a systematic step-by-step process which you can use for your social media marketing efforts.
Content marketing has gotten a bad rap in recent years, no thanks to the hard-sell hucksters.
Too many businesses have falsely labelled their efforts as content marketing when they merely package their ad or sales pitch in the guise of a blog post, eBook, or webinar.

How does culture influence content marketing? How can you navigate the cultural seas of your prospects and customers?
Much has been written about content creation, SEO, online communities, big data, analytics and influencers in content marketing. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to culture.
Instagram is the probably fastest growing social network on planet Earth right now.
Touted by marketing mavens to be the most important social media platform for brands, Instagram is native to smartphones and tablets. Which means that it is a boon for any business keen to explore mobile marketing.
