Publisher's summary

Content Inc. is the go-to guide to building a solid small business by establishing a loyal audience before you sell products or services.

In this audiobook, Joe Pulizzi provides a lower-risk, more effective way to create a path to startup success by re-engineering the process that so often leads to failure: You’ll learn how to develop valuable content, build an audience around that content and then create a product for that audience. Content Inc. walks you through the entire process, showing how to:

• Choose a marketable content topic
• Figure out where little or no competition exists
• Choose your top channel for disseminating content
• Build long-term customer loyalty
• Monetize your product or service
• Expand your content into multiple channels
• Sell your content asset or scale it into a large enterprise

This updated edition includes new and enhanced coverage of platforms like TikTok, SnapChat, and Instagram, a new section about the exit strategy for the model, more practical how-tos, and current examples of companies that have successfully implemented these strategies.

Content Inc. provides an ingenious approach to business based on a profoundly simple concept: Having a singular focus on audience, and building a loyal audience directly, provide the best, most nuanced understanding of what products ultimately make the most sense to sell.

Apply the methods laid out for you in Content Inc., and create the business of your dreams.

I am excited to apply the author’s advice in my new ‘content based’ biz venture. Thank you for writing such an amazing story!!!

a lot of good information to implement

was good enough I'm getting ready to listen to it again. lots of great ideas now to take more notes to put into action.

Great Model Framework About Content Marketing

One of the greatest books about how to get the best of Content Inc Model.

I've been working on my content/education marketing strategy for a long time but learning pieces here and there to figure out how to make it work. this was the playback I've been looking for thank uou!!!

thoroughly entertaining and educational

H BYRD JR. Suggest listening/Taking Notes.

Highly informative. with workable analysis. Many thought processes in my thinking. bit many I've yet to do. but Author previously implemented. Some thoughts 🤔 author mentioned, with many of their marketing woes/experiences... save readers from same mistakes. Complementary to another book of same author. Highly recommended reading, and exploration of strategies and methodologies, inherent to this book.

Amazing Content!

This book is very informative and engaging. The author tells you to find and connect with your audience, instead of focusing on a product you are trying to sell, because ultimately, it is the consumer driving your business. Tilt if you have to, then diversify in order to preserve your progress.

Joe Pulizzi's narration was enjoyable to listen to. You can feel his passion which made this audio book all that much better.

It's a Content World 🌎!

As the world becomes aware of content marketing, this book is your key to success!

It's a rebrand of Influencer business

The title is a bit misleading. This book exists to give hope to Gen-Z that they can turn their TikTok obsession into a huge cash payout...thus proving their parents wrong. While providing solid content development recommendations, there is nothing new here...just a new package for aspiring influences.
