About this listen

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.

Overall the book was informative but it mainly applied to larger companies. Spending $40K on a magazine issue is not something I can do but the concepts are good.

Good content

Pulizzi does a great job putting so a layman can understand online marketing. But his examples of multiple individuals and companies that changed their businesses around because of it are illuminating. Highly recommend this book to start up company founders/entrepreneurs.

Very insightful

There are some books I really think that just did not fit an audiobook style. At least for me this is the kind of book that is better read with pen in hand to take notes on than listening to while driving down the road.

Not Audio Material

You'll find some useful info but the book quickly loses momentum. It's worth a read but temper your expectations. This guy is definitely out of touch and is just saying the right thing but has no idea about implementing his recommendations when it comes to actual businesses and services other than his category of "teaching".

Decent

Great overview of how to become content-driven

Very Informative

Clearly explains a path forward worth at least considering. Several references to note are annoying.

Makes a strong case

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The author clearly has expertise on the topic, but he was casting his net a little too wide. Nevertheless, it's a good read/listen. If you're exploring content creation, this book should surely be on your list.
